## OPENING STATEMENT 

We are pleased to present Foothold Cymru’s Impact Report for 2021/22. During the year individuals, communities and society have continued to navigate the effects of the COVID19 pandemic. While the worst may in many respects be over, the pandemic continues to create challenges for families in particular those living on low incomes. There has been a horrific rise in the cost of living in the last twelve months due to many factors and this has hit households who were already struggling hard. Many of these households are now expected to pay hundreds of pounds more per year in bills – money they simply don’t have. We stand together, and alongside other charities and people experiencing poverty, to say it’s simply not right that in the sixth largest economy, globally, there are so many people, who cannot afford to put food on the table and come the winter will struggle to heat their homes. Poverty should never be normalised; accepted as a fact of life. 

In the face of the growing demands for our services and diminishing resources for the sector, we are sincerely grateful to the board of trustees for their continued wisdom, insight and contributions. The board remain committed to its governance role and will continue to support the relief of immediate need as well as creating just solutions to tackle the root causes of poverty. We are also delighted to report that during the year we were able to welcome four new trustees to the board, increasing numbers and diversity and giving us access to an increased range of skills, experience and knowledge. 

As always, on behalf of all the Trustees and the Executive Team, our thanks go out to the amazing staff and volunteers who go that extra mile to make a real difference to lives and livelihoods. We’d also like to extend our sincere thanks to our lived experience working groups, local people whose ideas and strengths drive everything we do. We never forget that local people know their community the best and that everyone has something valued and unique to contribute. 

To our funders we hope that this report demonstrates how we have used the generous resources that you have entrusted to us to not only respond to the cost-of-living crisis but also to continue in collaboration with local people to drive forward long-term sustainable change. 

We end our message on a sad note. This year we saw the death at the age of 67 of Gerald Davies our New Business Director. Gerald joined Foothold Cymru nearly 20 years ago. A valuable member of Foothold’s Senior team, he was also a friend and mentor to those that worked with him. A man of principle with a strong sense of social justice, the pain of his loss was, and still is, palpable amongst those who considered him a colleague and a friend. Gerald will be remembered by a memorial fund that is being set up in his name to carry on the philanthropic work he started in the Philippines, a place that he had hoped, on his retirement, would be his new home.

## TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FORYEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2022 

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual Directors’ Report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ending 31st March 2022. 

They are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The Charity Commission entered the Company onto the Register of Charities with the Registered Charity Number 1188696 in March 2020. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) as amended for accounting periods from 1 January 2016. 

## A.1 Introduction 

Foothold Cymru is a social justice organisation. Established 30 years ago, our vision is to create strong, cohesive communities where individuals have the power to thrive and not just survive. To do this we support people to address both the causes and symptoms of poverty and inequality by designing our services with, not for, individuals and communities most affected by these issues, so they have the skills to overcome challenges and develop resilience. Our work is broken down into three areas of activity as outlined below: 


We run services and deliver projects which provide the support needed to promote our strategic objectives, i.e. we help people to ‘live well’, ‘learn well’ and ‘work well’. Similar themes underpin all of our projects and we work across four key areas: 

- **Food Resilience and Growing -** we aim to build food resilience in the community, tackling the immediate needs of families who are struggling to put food on the table and helping them to develop the skills that will enable them to have a more sustainable and secure access to food in the future. 

- **Zero Waste Hub -** we aim to help people to tackle the rising costs of living by encouraging recycling, upcycling, sharing and exchanging, giving members ways to reduce household costs and maximise hard-pressed family incomes. This also helps to reduce waste, having a positive environmental impact too. 

- **Education, Training and Employability –** we aim to provide socially and economically disadvantaged people with the opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills and competencies required for independent living and for the labour market, by providing education, training and work experience opportunities.

Foothold Cymru 



- **Community Capacity Building –** we aim to bring the community together to share with and support each other through our volunteering and befriending projects. We also aim to develop the capacity of individuals to contribute and empower them to put their skills, experience and knowledge to good use for the benefit of the community. 

This work is underpinned by our recognition that the solutions, and the skills to put them in place, are often to be found in the lived experiences and understanding of the people and communities affected. Our recognition finds expression in projects that develop the capacity of individuals to contribute and our determination to put co-production at the heart of all our work. The above objectives and activities reflect the Charity’s values, which are: 

- Community: strong communities as loci for mutual support and the realisation of individual potential. 

- Education: both formal and informal, as a means by which individual potential can be realised. 

- Human enterprise and endeavour: as the drivers for individuals and communities to address the challenges they face. 

- Sustainable development: through which the security and wellbeing of future generations are protected by the responsible practices and use of resources of the current generation. 

- Justice: driven by tackling entrenched social inequalities and ensuring that those who are traditionally under-represented in society have a strong voice in how our society is run. 

## A.2 Structure, Governance and Management 

Foothold Cymru is a Registered Charity (number: 1188696). The liability of Trustees in limited to a sum not exceeding £10. As set out in the Articles of Association, all Trustees and designated officers, including the Chair, are appointed at the AGM. The term of office for Trustees is initially three years, with the possibility of ongoing renewal. In appointing new Trustees, attention is paid to the need to have a balance of representation and diversity, including gender, age, ethnicity, disability, and sexuality. The Trustee Board meets no less than four times in each financial year.  We are extremely proud of the progress we have made during the last year to expand and diversify the composition of the board. 

## A.2.1. Functions of the Board 

The Board of Trustees fulfils the following functions: 

- To have control of the Charity and its property and funds. 

- To have responsibility for the Charity’s overall governance and strategic direction. 

- • To develop the aims, objectives and organisational goals in accordance with the legal and regulatory framework of the sector and in line with the Charity’s governing document, continually striving for best practice in governance. 

- To uphold the fiduciary duty invested in the position, undertaking such duties in a way that adds to public confidence and trust. 

- To interview, appoint and monitor the work and activities of senior paid staff. All members of the Board of Trustees are required to sign a Code of Conduct Declaration and Register of Interest.

- Equality and diversity – championing equality and diversity in everything that the organisation does, particularly in the context of making people matter and working with some of the most disadvantaged people in society. 

- Safeguarding – monitoring the organisation’s conduct to ensure that safeguarding standards are maintained. 

## A.2.3. Induction and Training of New Trustees 

New Trustees receive an induction pack containing the following: 

- Declaration to act as a Trustee. 

- Terms of Reference. 

- Code of Conduct. 

- Equal Opportunities monitoring form. 

- Declaration of Interest Form. 

- Skills and Knowledge Audit. 

- Charity Commission CC3 document. 

- Responsibilities of Trustees. 

- Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

- Annual Report and Accounts. 

- Information regarding Trustee Board meetings 

## A.2.4. Related Parties 

All interests are required to be declared and signed in the Trustee’s Declaration of Interests pro-forma as required under the Charity’s Articles of Association and Conflict of Interests Policy. A conflict-of-interest register is kept and updated annually or when appropriate. In addition, all Trustees are required to declare any interest pertinent to the agenda at all Board Meetings. 

## A.2.5. Organisational Structure 

The Board of Trustees administers the Charity. In so doing, it meets quarterly, with two committees reporting to it: namely The Finance, Risk, Audit and HR Committee and the Governance & Operational Performance Committee. Both committees have the authority to form task and finish groups and sub groups in furtherance of its work. 

A Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is appointed by the Trustees to oversee the Charity’s dayto-day operations. To facilitate effective operations, the CEO has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Board, for operational matters including finance, employment and performance related activities within the core services. 

The Board of Trustees has oversight of financial matters through reports to each meeting. The Board of Trustees may amend these powers from time to time. The CEO is supported 

5 

Foothold Cymru 



by a Deputy Chief Executive, with Project Co-ordinators taking operational responsibility for the successful delivery of the Charity’s various projects and services. 

A Finance Manager is responsible for administering the Charity’s accounts. Business development is undertaken by a New Business Manager, who combines this role with overseeing and quality assuring the Charity’s training and education provision. 

During the year the Charity has employed an average of 22 members of staff. As Trustees we are committed to transparency in our work and include staff in our decisions and as such we operate an ‘open door’ policy where staff are encouraged to ask questions about our activities, strategy, performance and current initiatives. We continuously interact and communicate with staff through committees, meetings, working groups and day to day management. We also convey information regularly via internal publication of our meeting papers, minutes and actions. The charity is fortunate to have a number of committed and inspirational volunteers. Over the course of 2021/22 we have had the support of 52 volunteers. The skills and knowledge of our volunteers is a huge asset to the charity, and we have over the recent past used their experience to improve our volunteer management programme to make it as impactful as possible. 

## A.2.6. Policies and Procedures 

The conduct of the Charity and our range of activities are guided by a comprehensive set of policies and procedures to ensure that its governance, financial management, security, management and operation are in keeping with best practice. All staff are aware of their responsibilities in relation to these policies, together with the expectation that they adhere to them in their day-to-day working. All policies and procedures are reviewed by the Board of Trustees on an annual basis, unless legislative change dictates otherwise, or in the event of an incident that gives rise to a need for review of the provisions, interpretation and implementation of a policy. 

## A.2.7. Safeguarding 

As a Charity working with vulnerable people of all ages, we take our responsibilities with regards safeguarding very seriously. This includes having well-established systems and processes to ensure that the safety and interests of those concerned are protected at all times. These include, but are not limited to, a Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy and a Safeguarding Adults at Risk Policy. 

All Trustees and staff undergo the appropriate level of Disclosure and Barring Scheme checks upon appointment. All staff undergo comprehensive safeguarding training on an annual basis and are aware of the various forms of abuse that might occur and how these might manifest themselves, as well as the procedures to be adopted where these are suspected. We publish an annual safeguarding report which reviews our work over the previous year and sets out our action plan for the coming year. 

Policies set out clear systems for reporting suspected /actual cases of abuse, and their investigation and reporting in an appropriate manner. 

## A.2.8. Risk Management 

The Trustees believe that they have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed and how these risks can be mitigated. This has been aided by a robust risk management process. The process identifies the types of risks the Charity faces, prioritises them in terms of likelihood of occurrence and potential impact, identifies the means of managing these risks and monitors how they are managed. The risk register is reviewed quarterly, with relevant exemption reports presented to the Board. Trustees review the 

6 

Foothold Cymru 



adequacy of protection against these risks and, where this appears insufficient, put in place appropriate procedures to mitigate them. 

The biggest risk for the Charity continues to be our over-reliance on short-term and limited funding at a time when the demand for our services grows. Therefore, an important strand of the Board’s strategy is to continue to demonstrate the Charity’s ability to provide added value as an organisation, whilst simultaneously demonstrating excellent outcomes and impact. At the same time, the organisation looks to expand its income streams and look for new sources of growth. 

## A.3. Public Benefit 

As required by the Charities Act 2011, the Charity Commission for England and Wales issued its general guidance on the criteria it will use to determine whether a charity provides public benefit. The Board of Trustees has considered the relevant guidance and is satisfied that the organisation provides considerable public benefit, as demonstrated in this report. We have referred to the guidance when reviewing our purpose and mission and in planning future activities. In particular, consideration is given to how planned future activities will contribute to the delivery of public benefit. Thus, development activities and proposals for funding applications are presented to Trustees for approval based on their ability meet this requirement. In making their decisions, Trustees assure themselves that all proposals target members of the community who are experiencing social exclusion on the basis of one or more of the factors identified or are at risk of doing so. At the same time, Trustees ensure that the outcomes of the Charity’s work, and the public benefits that derive from it are demonstrable through qualitative, as well as quantitative research methodologies. Furthermore, Trustees assure themselves that no potential barriers to participation by the target groups exist, and that issues of equality and diversity are adhered to. 

## A.4. Objects and Aims 

The Charity’s objects are to develop the capacity and skills of members of socially and economically disadvantaged communities of Wales in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society, in particular but not exclusively by: 

a) equipping disadvantaged or otherwise excluded people with the skills and competencies required to take responsibility for identifying and meeting their needs and those of the community; 

b) the delivery of formal, informal and community education programmes that provide socially and economically disadvantaged people opportunities to gain nationally recognised qualifications and / or develop the knowledge, skills and competencies required for independent living and the labour market; 

c) the promotion, provision and facilitation of volunteering, training and work experience opportunities to unemployed or underemployed people who are disadvantaged in the labour market.

## A.5. Strategic Objectives, Activities and Achievements 

This year saw the second year of our three-year strategy 2020-2023 with the following strategic aims identified by the Trustees: 

8 

Foothold Cymru 



- Continue to put people in the lead; designing our services with, not for, individuals and communities most affected by poverty, so together we create sustainable solutions. 

- Deliver social, economic and environmental impacts that last; empowering individuals and communities to challenge poverty and social injustice. Our Theory of Change sets out the change we want to see. 

- Ensuring a fit for purpose organisation that allows us to function effectively and efficiently in order to deliver on our mission and strategic aims. 

- Maintaining the financial health of the organisation. 

## A.5.1. Putting People in the Lead 

We recognise that the solutions to the challenges faced by communities, and the skills to put them in place, are often found in the lived experiences and understanding of the people and communities affected. We therefore place co-production at the heart of our approach, by giving equal sharing of power, agency and decision making with all those affected by a project, and with the local people, organisations and systems which support them. During 2021/22 this work has continued as we have collaborated with participants, volunteers and other stakeholders co-designing, co-delivering and co-evaluating our projects and services. 

We also recognise that building capacity within communities makes them more able to adapt and deal with future challenges, creating a more sustained and long-lasting positive impact. Our projects aim to develop the capacity of individuals to contribute and empower them to put their skills, experience and knowledge to good use for the benefit of the community. This will help communities to develop and manage their own solutions to the challenges they face. 

## A.5.2. Delivering Economic, Social and Environmental Impact 

During the year we have supported 2497 people across our various services. 

Specifically: 

- Food Resilience: 2116 

- Food Growing: 177 

- Zero Waste Hub: 432 

- Volunteering: 43 

- Befriending: 44 

- Youth Social Action: 79 

- Education and Training: 493 

- Employability: 61 

To understand our impact, we conducted surveys with a sample of 20% of the people supported across our services this year and used the data to inform the writing of our 2021/22 Impact Report. This work was supported by focus groups and project specific monitoring and evaluation. 

Foothold Cymru’s impact is in five key areas: (1) Reduced Household Expenses; (2) Reduced Waste; (3) Developed Skills and Experience; (4) Improved Health and Wellbeing; (5) Developed Community Cohesion, Capacity and Resilience. 

## A.5.2.1. Reduced Household Expenses 

Key achievements: 

- £550,160 in household savings across all members. 

9 

Foothold Cymru 



- £27.41 saved an average per week on members’ weekly shop 

- 96% of food store users said the store helped them to budget. 

- 72% of Zero Waste Hub members found the support had helped their money to go further; saving an average £461 per household during the year. 

The rising cost of living is making it difficult for people to meet their basic needs. Many of our members were already struggling to make ends meet before the soaring energy and food prices put further pressure on family incomes. Across our services we support people to make their money go further and to reduce their household expenses to relieve the pressure on their hard-pressed family incomes. 57% of members across all services found the support had helped their money to go further. 

Our Community Food Store provides members with the opportunity to buy a variety of food at a reduced rate from the retail price, helping family budgets to stretch further and ensuring they can access enough food to get by. On average, families saved £27.41 per week on their weekly shop and the majority of food store users also found the shop beneficial in helping them to budget. 

The services within the Zero Waste Hub help people to reduce waste but also to reduce household expenditure, by encouraging people, and giving them the opportunity, to fix, recycle, re-use, upcycle and share household items. Services such as our repair café, clothes exchange and Library of Things all provide the opportunity to reduce waste, share with others and reduce household expenditure. Members were grateful for the opportunity to share with others and were pleased to gain the knowledge and skills that would enable them to make their money go further. 

An important part of our education, training and employability support is in helping people to develop essential skills that will not only prepare them for the labour market, but also for independent living. One component of this is providing them with money management and teaching them how to budget. Many members referenced the importance of these new budgeting skills on helping them to keep on top of their household finances. 

Combined, our services helped members across the community to save £500,160. 

## A.5.2.2. Reduced Waste 

Key achievements: 

- 85% of food store users made changes to reduce their food waste 

- 89% of members who used the Zero Waste Hub said they had learnt new ways to reduce waste. 

- 41 tonnes of waste was saved from landfill. 

At Foothold Cymru, we recognise that the that continued disregard for our environment is not sustainable. Across our projects and services, we support people to reduce their household waste, not only to reduce their household expenditure but also to reduce the waste sent to landfill and have a positive impact on the environment. In total, 41 tonnes of waste was saved from landfill as a result of our services. 

The education, training and advice provided around waste minimisation, including the food minimisation workshops, has helped families to embed habits to reduce waste, having a positive impact on their finances and on the environment.  56% of members across all services said the support had helped them to reduce waste and 85% of food store users reported making changes to reduce their food waste. 

10 

Foothold Cymru 



Members have also developed their knowledge on how to recycle household items, they have had the opportunity to fix and upcycle them, and they have been encouraged to share and donate items that they no longer need, helping the community as a whole to reduce waste. The emphasis on waste reduction in a positive light also helps to reduce the stigma of acquiring ‘pre-loved’ items as a negative result of low household income. 

## A.5.2.3. Developed Skills and Experience 

Key achievements: 

- 84% of members said they learnt new skills and had new experiences 

- 55 people moved into work 

Across our projects and services, people across the community have had the opportunity to develop their skills and gain experiences which not only prepare them for the labour market, but also develop their essential skills for life, such as money management. 84% of members said they have learnt new skills and had new experiences. 

Crucially, we have provided people with the opportunity to get out of their comfort zone, whilst also feeling supported and valued. Many of the people we work with suffer from a lack of opportunity and this can hold them back. By providing people with the opportunity to develop skills, gain work experience and grow their confidence, they are in a much stronger position to go on to work and live a more fulfilled life. 55 people were successful in gaining employment following the education and employability training. 

## A.5.2.4. Improved Health and Wellbeing 

Key achievements: 

- 67% of people said the support provided helped to bring about changes in their mental wellbeing 

- 73% of people who attended the cookery course said they were eating more healthily as a result of the course 

- 98% of Food Store users said there were health benefits to having the opportunity to choose a varied food basket. 

The support provided to help people to reduce their household expenditure had an overwhelmingly positive impact on members’ mental wellbeing; 67% of people said the support provided had helped to positively change their mental wellbeing. There is a clear link between reduced food insecurity and improvements in mental wellbeing, due to the reduced financial pressures and stress associated with food insecurity. 

Importantly, the Food Store moves away from emergency food boxes and the crisis support offered by Food banks. Feedback from families highlights how they value the choice offered by the stores so that it feels like shopping in a normal grocery shop. They value the fact that they can make a small financial contribution to the food baskets. This restoration of dignity also helps to promote positive mental health. 

It is clear by bringing the community together, our support has helped people to feel more connected, valued, understood and accepted. Many members talked about how the increased connection with the community had given them a motivation to leave the house and get involved. All of these improvements in community connectedness bring about positive changes in mental wellbeing, especially for individuals who otherwise feel socially isolated. 

11 

Foothold Cymru 



## A.5.2.5. Developed Community Cohesion, Capacity and Resilience 

- 59% said they feel more connected to their community 

- 87% connected with new people and made new friends 

- 88% feel there are more people they can go to if you if they need help 

Communities are becoming increasingly disconnected, and people are often battling with their challenges in isolation. But there is power in community cohesion, bringing people together to provide support to one another and address collective challenges. By bringing people together, developing community cohesion and capacity, communities become more resilient – they feel better connected, more together, stronger, able to weather storms through collective action and support. This leaves a legacy beyond the project support and makes communities more resilient. 

Members overwhelmingly reported positive changes in community connectedness as a result of Foothold Cymru’s work; 59% said they feel more connected to their community, 87% connected with new people and made new friends and 88% said they feel there are more people they can go to if they need help. All of these are clear indicators that the communities we are working with are becoming more connected. 

Our members described the benefits of Foothold Cymru in bringing people together, giving them the opportunity to meet people they wouldn’t usually get to meet, such as the intergenerational connections between pensioners and young people, make new friends, learn from others, share with and help other people. Many members talked about how the support they had received gave them the opportunity to help others and that they now feel part of the community.  The feeling of being part of something, belonging to a community, feeling valued, understood and accepted all have a positive impact on mental wellbeing and can translate into wider benefits, such as greater economic security. 

## A.6. Ensuring a Fit for Purpose Infrastructure 

Last year we made significant progress in developing our organisational infrastructure, including in the areas of: Partnership and Collaborative Working, Staff Development and Health and Safety. We have continued to build on these developments this year. 

We have also made significant progress on our Monitoring and Evaluation practices: 

This year we reviewed our data collection practices and created a new Evaluation Framework, ensuring that our data collection tools are consistent with the outcomes we want to measure on our Theory of Change. In addition to an organisation-wide framework, we have also developed project-specific Theory of Change with relevant evaluation plan, in line with the overarching evaluation framework, which will further enhance our datacollection practices moving forwards. 

Adopting this new framework will enable us to: 

Consistently measure and report on impact across all projects, by following a consistent and robust approach, which is aligned to our organisational objectives. 

Make informed changes to existing projects and design new projects that meet the changing needs of the community. 

Share our learning with key stakeholders, including funders, partners and those organisations that are equally passionate about making a real difference to the lives and livelihoods of people and communities.

## A.7.1. Reserves and Reserves Policy 

In formulating this policy Foothold Cymru has followed the Charity Commission guidelines to developing a reserves policy. Namely, it has: 

- Defined the nature of charitable reserves held. 

- Identified functional assets. 

- Understood the financial impact of risk. 

- Reviewed its sources of income. 

- Looked at future plans and commitments. 

## _**Restricted Funds**_ 

Foothold Cymru delivers upward of a dozen charitable or grant funded projects. These projects are funded via restricted funds and are for the sole use of designated projects. 

## _**Unrestricted Funds**_ 

Typically, these funds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the charity’s objects and may be designated for a particular project or purpose. The majority of Foothold Cymru’s unrestricted funds are held in the form of fixed assets which earn an income for the charity to use for its charitable activities. 

On becoming a Charity in 2020, the Board of Trustees reviewed the charity’s need for free reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. 

The Reserves Policy, approved in March 2020, and reviewed in 2021 thus targets free reserves to be maintained within a range of three to six months’ unrestricted operational expenditure. The trustees aim to work towards achieving this goal over the next five years.

Foothold Cymru 



## A.8 Challenges and Future Priorities 

Each year, within the remit of our Strategic Plan 2020-2023, we set key strategic priorities for the new financial year to further strengthen our ability to withstand pressures and maximise opportunities. 

In late 2021 our Board of Trustees scrutinised our Strategic Business Plan and considered the lessons of the past year. The review highlighted a number of challenges: 

- The impact of the cost-of-living crisis on the mental wellbeing of our beneficiaries 

- The increase in demand for our services in contrast to the diminishing funding that is available 

- The need to address climate change at a local level so we remain within our environmental limits. 

Our strategic objectives remain unchanged – specifically: 

- Continue to put people in the lead; designing our services with, not for, individuals and communities most affected by poverty, so together we create lasting solutions. 

- Deliver social, economic and environmental impacts that last; empowering individuals and communities to challenge poverty. Our Theory of Change sets out the journey. 

- Ensuring a fit for purpose organisation that allows us to function effectively and efficiently in order to deliver on our mission and strategic aims. 

- Maintaining the financial health of the organisation. 

Activities to deliver these objectives during 2022/23 include: 

- **Impact:** developing and delivering services that put people and their futures at the heart of what we do enabling people to thrive and not simply survive. 

- **Co-production:** continuing to work closely with communities to identify their perceived needs and co-designing and co-delivering projects that address these priorities. 

- **Financial Stability:** continuing to diversify income streams to include corporate sponsorship, social investment and community giving in addition to grants and contracts. 

- **Measuring Change:** ensuring that our monitoring and evaluation systems and procedures continue to be sufficiently robust to demonstrate the effectiveness of our work and to evidence their longer-term impacts and additionality. 

- **Partnerships:** developing mutually beneficial partnerships to develop innovative services that meet the needs of individuals and communities. 

- **People:** continuing to develop staff to ensure that they are best able to serve the communities with which they work.
