OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Rhondda Hub for Veterans CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only Members are the Trustees. The objectives of the charity and the powers of the Trustees are set out in the Constitution as are the regulations concerning the appointment of new Trustees.

Rhondda Hub for Veterans sources private sector housing and provides ongoing support throughout their tenancy to ex-service personnel in South Wales who are or are at risk of being homeless. It arranges for specialist support for issues such as mental health, family breakdown, or drug and alcohol misuse for such veterans and aims to provide training preparing them for independent living.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Trustees Annual Report

BACKGROUND

Rhondda Hub for Veterans was registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 5 November 2019. It took over the activities of a company limited by guarantee of the same name set up on 27 March 2018 (Companies House registration number 11277290).

TRUSTEES

The charity is governed by trustees. The year under review saw, in addition to the three founding Trustees, the appointment of one new Trustee. We aim to increase the number. Systems are in place to train existing and future trustees. The Trustees meet quarterly. In the last year most were held remotely.

STAFF

The position of chief executive was filled during the period on a voluntary basis by Annys Darkwa. There was only one part-time employee who was furloughed, at first fully and from August partially.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

As the charity took over the activities of another organisation we were able to start our activity straightaway. We also inherited a network of local partners specialising in issues such as mental health, alcohol or drug misuse, or debt as well as with other local organisations supporting veterans.

Unfortunately, within a few months the pandemic struck and a strict lockdown imposed (in Wales by the Welsh government). However, we were still able to source housing for new referrals but much of our activity had to be directed to catering to the needs of those already housed. For this we received grants from the Moondance Foundation, the Community Foundation Wales, Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership Board, Interlink Rhondda Cynon Taf, and the Greggs Foundation.

We also received a grant from Pen Y Cymoedd Community Fund to house veterans in their area.

We have an arrangement with HMP Parc, which has a dedicated veterans’ wing, to find accommodation in the private rented sector for veterans on the day of their release. We were unable to begin organising training and lifestyle courses.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity is entirely dependent on grants and donations. We do not have any bank borrowings or investments, no significant assets and do not provide grants or financial support. At present free reserves are at a level of approximately 1 months’ running costs. The Trustees are mindful of the need to increase reserves and conscious of the challenge this will present in the current climate.

The charity had £1,883 at the end of its first financial year.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
