Our modelof charity work gives the residents a safe spaceto create a
plan for their community's future. To develop a place where people want
to live, somewheretheyfeel proud to call home.
Our successis due to dedicating time and resources to build meaningful
trusting relationships with notonly individuals, but also family members
and the wider community.
The establishmentof social groups that are responsive to community
need and the supportwe give to the community takes many forms and is
available when the community need us most— this isn’t a 9-5 service.
In 2024, local residents broughttolife a new community hub
affectionately known as ‘Homegrown’— a welcoming spacethat offers
warmth, support, and opportunities for all. Entirely shaped and led by the
community itself, Homegrown stands as a testamentto collective vision
and grassroots action.It’s more than just a hub;it’s a place built by the
community, for the community.
Ourstrategic priorities are shaped by lived experience,local data, and
ongoing consultation. They include:
1. Strengthening Community Leadership
We support local residents to lead change—through volunteering,
peer mentoring, and through the further developmentofour
Charity WAPMthat nowplays a central role in local decision-
making.
2. Tackling Poverty and Inequality
Wedeliver practical support—food, warmth,transport, and
advice—while working with partners to address the root causes of
deprivation and exclusion.
3. Building Sustainable Partnerships
Wecollaborate with schools, social services, health boards, and
third-sector organisations to ensurejoined-up support and long-
term impact.
4. Creating Pathways to Learning and Employment
Weaim to develop volunteering as a springboard for education
and employment, recognising its powerto build confidence,skills,
and networks. Ourfocus is on creating meaningful, community-
led volunteering opportunities that enable individuals to grow,
contribute, and explore future pathways. Despitethis, recruiting
and retaining volunteers remains a challenge and somethingthat
is a priority for the charity in 2025 and onwards.
Thesepriorities are underpinned by a commitmentto co-production,
equity, and long-term sustainability. We regularly review progress
through community feedback, data monitoring, and shared learning with
partners.
We continue to build a strong networkof partnerships thatenhance our
ability to support the Plas Madoc community. Over the past 12 months,
we’ve worked closely with a wide range of organisations to deliverfood
parcels, energy advice, mental health, and signposting support. We
receive and makereferrals across services, and anticipate this
collaborative approachwill continue to grow.

Section D	Achievements and performance
	OurWork Includes:
	e Community Transport Scheme
	Developedin responseto limited public transport and geographic
	isolation, this service helps residents—manywithout access to
	cars—reachessential services such as GP surgeries, job centres,
	and food shops.
	e Community Dropin — held weekly providing the opportunity for
	people to connect with others, to access support andfind out
	what’s on offer within the community - things they can get
	involved in and give residents a voice and discuss how they can
	make Plas Madoca betterplacetolive.
	e Crafty Brew— a weekly social group which aims to support
	mental health and well-being and reduceisolation. This group
	was co-created with residents after a gap in support for mental
	health services wasidentified and also in response to people’s
	reluctance to socialise whilst living with Covid.
	e Plas Telford — social support and activities for older residents.
	This projectwas developedafter consultation within the
	Community that identified a gap in services for the older
	residents. Activities include a weekly coffee morning which gives
	Plas Telford residents the opportunity to spend time together and
	makeplansfor future activities — this has resulted in the
	development of a community garden within the groundsofthe
	building and an active group of residents who are now enjoying
	the optimism that gardening brings.
	e Street Champions — community volunteerswho support
	communication andactivities at a street level. Initially this project
	wasestablished in response to Covid 19 and subsequent
	lockdownsand ensuredthatall corners ofthe communitywere connected and supported. Although engagementhas reduced from the Street Championspart of our plan is to further develop this service, to identify new street champions and consult with them on how wecaninvolve every residentin life in the community. e Volunteer scheme - volunteering opportunities within the community that aimsto increase participation and developskills. We makeit more convenientfor people to be involved and to encourageinvolvementinto the everydaylives of people. Current volunteers inform us that they receive great support and enjoy every aspect of volunteering in the community. They enjoy helping people who needit and also identifying and supporting those people who don't know they needit. Forsome they cameinto volunteering to support theirown mental health and now have a strong support network dueto the friendships they have built and the sense of achievementthey receive from being active within the community. Community wide, regular events include a monthly Bingo evening and table top sales — the aim of these eventsis to bring people together, to reducesocial isolation and offer residents a fun experience. An average of 40 people attend each event which is growing each month. These events also offer people opportunities to volunteer from calling Bingo numbersto selling tickets— these events are resident-led. In 2024, we continued to deliver events that celebrate local identity and strengthen community cohesion. Oursummer gathering— knownlocally as Plastonbury— remains a cornerstoneof the annual calendar, offering
