REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Report of the Trustees for the year ending 31st March 2022
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ending March 31st 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity Act (2011) and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Second Edition- October 2019).
Structure, Governance and Management
Swansea MAD was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) on 24th August 2020 (Charity number: 1190983) with a declaration of trust outlining the administration, objects, and powers of the charity. The constitution was updated in April 2020 on Companies House.
The Trustees have formally approved arrangements to comply with the ICSA guide 'Recruitment Appointment and Induction of Charity Trustees' and convene the Nominations Sub-Committee of the charity. The Trustees have agreed to keep the skills and composition of the Trustee body and succession planning under review. The Trustees have also developed a Code of Conduct for Trustees including formal statements of roles.
Inclusive Recruitment
We are committed to being inclusive and equitable in our recruitment and selection practices to establish, promote and foster an organisation that is truly inclusive and have developed and implemented an Inclusive Recruitment and Selection Policy and Procedures. We want to ensure that our Board is representative of the communities we work with, with Trustees bringing varying identities of lived experiences, skills, perspectives and expertise.
New Trustees may be sought by open advertisement, in line with the values of Swansea MAD for equity and we work with communities to ensure that our message is shared. The ultimate decision on selection is a matter for the Trustees.
Elections for officials are annually at the AGM. The charity provides for a minimum of 6 Trustees, to a maximum of 12 Trustees (and currently has 9 Board members). On appointment, new Trustees sign a model Trustee declaration statement committing them to giving their time and expertise.
The induction process follows the ICSA good practice guide with a formal induction programme for newly appointed Trustees, which includes an initial meeting with the Chair and the Trustees, followed by a series of short meetings with the CEO. The Welcome Pack includes a brief history of Swansea MAD, copies of Trustee Board and Sub-Committee meetings (where applicable), Equal Opportunities Monitoring form, a copy of previous Annual Reports and Accounts, a copy of governing documents and a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance, 'The Essential Trustee: What you need to know' and 'Charities and Public Benefit'. All Trustees undertake an Enhanced DBS Check.
The Board of Trustees' Training Plan is updated annually, including training from Social Business Wales, Equality and Inclusion training, Safeguarding, Business/ Strategic Direction/Development, Governance and Planning for the Future.
All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the last year. Details of Trustee expenses are disclosed in accounts. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests, by completing a Conflict of Interest declaration.
Swansea MAD is very much about teamwork and investing in our staff, Trustees and volunteers is a major part of what we do. We see our team as valuable assets to the charity and believe that if we compassionately support and develop them, we can bring our vision to life so that we achieve our overall shared mission.
We are lucky enough to have a team of 9 committed, experienced professionals, and a pool of volunteers. The Chair of the organisation is responsible for the Supervision of the CEO.
Flexible / Partnerships
We work with other local and national organisations to ensure we maximise the potential of new and changing opportunities. We reach out to more of our local community by offering identified / needed services throughout Swansea and Wales via a partnership approach.
In 2021/22 we supported 1400 people across the year and received funding from the Welsh Government Third Sector Voter Registration Support Grant (partnership Democracy project with Boys' and Girls' Clubs of Wales), Western Power Distribution Community Matters, Garfield Weston Foundation, Waterloo Foundation, WCVA Volunteering Wales, Provident Social Impact Fund, Community Foundation Wales, West Glamorgan Regional Partnership, National Lottery Awards for All, Swansea Poverty Truth Commission and the Good Things Foundation (Census 2021). Donations from a variety of Trusts and Foundations were raised including from Persimmon Homes, Joanies Fund (Herefordshire Community Foundation) and D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust. This funding has allowed us to provide a positive space for people to participate in a number of vital programmes, during the COVID-19 pandemic . We filled the gap for existing statutory services which were paused, including supporting volunteers; feeding programmes; and sourcing educational resources, games, books, bikes and technology, for children and young people in communities without access.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
During the pandemic, young people and communities highlighted practical needs, including no access to the internet and technology and lack of skills and access to training. Working with partners Good Things Foundation (Digital Box) to address digital poverty we sourced and distributed digital devices and supported 740 families with data so people could feel connected; training people, families and support networks to improve their digital literacy.
We also supported local charities and organisations with digital solutions, with business applications and building websites for local charities, in order that they could better connect and better support people in communities.
Throughout, Swansea MAD addressed the negative effects of the pandemic on people's wellbeing, with arts and music projects (including delivering activity packs and online therapy sessions) fostering an increased sense of community, belonging and cohesion, reducing isolation and loneliness. We brought together young people and older people for environmental projects with partners, Kilvey Woodland Volunteers; reducing climate anxiety; enabling people to take positive action to protect the environment; calling out greenwashing and participating in the outdoors in nature. We also supported local artists and musicians by offering free exhibition and rehearsal space at our studios; creating websites for people to showcase their work and promoting local musicians' talent (which we continue to do).
We appointed a Policy and Quality Assurance Manager who is responsible for managing the development of policy, ensuring that the strategic objectives of the organisation are fulfilled. They are responsible for managing, coordinating, facilitating, and advising the development, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and improvement of internal policies, programmes, and initiatives that promote local environmental, energy, economic, and social sustainability; to better evaluate and integrate long-term economic, environmental, and social considerations into plans, actions and expenditures.
Swansea MAD has a continuing commitment to:
-
Ensure that funders, project needs, young people and communities needs and expectations are determined and fulfilled - Communicate throughout the organisation the importance of meeting funders', project needs and participants' needs and all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements
-
Establish the Quality Assurance Plan and its objectives
-
Ensure that Management Reviews not only set but review the quality objectives, and report on the Internal Audit results as a means of monitoring and measuring the processes and the effectiveness of the Quality Management Systems - Ensure the availability of resources
Swansea MAD complies with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements and constantly monitors its performance, implementing improvements when appropriate. The Finance and Audit Sub-Committee review Quality monthly within the organisation in order to ensure its continuing suitability.
Our work is aligned with and promotes the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2015); Equality Act (2010); Cymraeg 2050; the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 Well-being Goals; The Youth Work Strategy for Wales (2019); the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Youth Work; the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC); the Children and Young People’s National Participation Standards (2018); Welsh Government Digital Strategy for Wales (2021); and Education Workforce Council (EWC) Code of Professional Conduct and Practice (2022).
