Strategic Highlights
The last year we have moved forward but have suffered a few challenges. The pace of progress is unfortunately not dictated by us and deal with organizations who meet infrequently is a slow laborious process at best. We have now signed a buy/lease deal with the Church of Wales.
THIS PUTS OUR FUTURE IN OUR HANDS
We’ve worked with and been supported by a number of other organisations including,
National Grid
RCTCBC
Interlink
Ynyshir Band
And many more
Financial Highlights
We are now aware of the final purchase price of the site, £105,000 (minus our £10,000 goodwill payment on signing of the lease) and that price is £95,000. In October 2023 the site was vandalized and the roof stripped of lead which is going to be a major expense for us in the coming year. We have managed to do some repairs and have bought new doors for the church hall and some furniture and equipment.

The Hall as a centre of the community
Our year has been one marked by progression, from relatively standing start post-pandemic and through the work of all of our volunteers, we now run numerous events including the below,
Cuppa and Chat
Walking group
Knitting Circle
Bingo
Guitar Group
Film club
Table top sales
Keep Fit Group
We need to engage more with the public in Ynyshir and Wattstown, together we can do this but only together.

Looking ahead
There are financial pressures but we will continue to appeal for lottery payments, both from existing contributors and new, and gratefully accept donations. Our primary aim is to make sure we can start our popular programme of social events and continue to foster community spirit in any way we can.
As a group we need to continue to improve and think about each of the below,
-
(Redefining purpose - How can we be relevant, gain public trust, and help meet the growing need for the services in our community?
-
Building confidence - How can we build the confidence to deliver the bold leadership that’s needed in our community?
-
Securing the right people - How can we culture, leadership, skills and investment be optimised to make the most of the positive opportunities presented by new technologies?
-
Measuring meaningfully - How do we collect the data that can help to inform our decision making, and make the experience and behaviours of all audiences as important as income?
-
Collaborating actively - How do we work with other groups and funders to better meet the challenges that lie ahead?
-
Looking beyond the village - How can we engage with the specialist skills, capabilities and access of commercial organisations and utilize them to help inject new energy into the project?

Thank you
It has been an interesting year as Chair and not without its challenges! I have been blessed with a wonderful, strong and supportive team. A massive thank you to them and to everyone who has worked so hard.
Last but not least, thank you to the people of Ynyshir and Wattstown who have also given so much BUT WE NEED YOU EVEN MORE DURING THE NEXT TWO YEARS and we look forward to seeing you all over the next year.
