Chair's report to Harom Galamb (Scotland) AGM 13th June 2025
Harom Galamb (Scotland) has the following purpose and powers"
Purposes
The organisation's purposes are the relief of need through raising funds to support the
Harom Galamb Association, a charity registered in Romania providing a day centre for
young adults with learning disabilities, with the aim of providing vulnerable individuals
with opportunities for personal growth and skills development, increasing social
integration, independence and confidence.
Powers
The organisation has power to do anything which is calculated to further its purposes
or is conducive or incidental to doing so.
As the annual accounts show, Trustees have continued to raise funds during the past
year for the benefit of those receiving day seNices in Romania.
sin￿ the last AGM. Trustees have held 9 meetings. These have all been via
Teamslzoom.
During this year we have said goodbye to ￿ as a Trustee. ￿ was
instrumental, with
Iii setting up, planning for and
implementation of the Associata Harom Galamb (AHG) project. Thank you so much
yours was a unique contribution.
We said hello to ￿ as a new Trustee, who will have the role of strategy
advisor including bLisiiiess strategy, fundraising strategies, financial shape and
direction (in support of The Treasurer), governance and website development. He has
vast experience and we are grateful that he has agreed to be a Trustee
l am so grateful to
our Board secretary, who is brilliant at providing
accurate and very timely minutes after each of our meetings. He keeps us on track.
He is also the main correspondent for the Board.
has continued to supportAHG by creating cash flow forecasts for both
revenue and capital spends, which keeps AHG on track and enables HGS Trustees to
be aware of where best to target fundraising activity.
brings his extensive experience of social worklcare to the Board and
has been supporting AHG to make an application for Solidarity Corps Quality label for
recruitment of volunteers.
The chair made two visits to Transylvania over the past year, firstly in May 2024 and
secondly in November 2024 with
(a potential Trustee at the time)-
The visit in May 2024 incorporated a meeting with the director of social services of
Harghita County, the lead inspector and social worker- a zoom meeting to discuss
future volunteering for Harom Galamb- a visit and discussions with a provider of
residential and day services- and a strategic plan discussion with the Harom Galamb
team.

The visit in November 2024 gave the opportunity for an overview of the current
operation of the Associata Harom Galamb and progress being made on the
development of the new-build day centre. During the visit, beneficiaries were met in
day time activities. A staff meeting also took place during the visit.
visited in September. They offered training sessions on
creating therapeutic environments. Attendees came from the County Services, other
NGOS and parents with special needs. In addition they took part in day centre activities
with beneficiaries and met with staff. Feedback has been very positive.
These visits provide a valuable opportunity to quality assure the way in which monies
provided through Harom Galamb Scotland and monies raised elsewhere are being
spent. They also offer an opportunity for practice to be assessed {as an addition to the
inspection reports).
The efforts to support AHG over the past year have been to try to ensure that there
was no revenue funding gap, be￿een the costs and the fees paid by Harghita County
for beneficiaries. Between January - March 2025, we had a small campaign with the
Scottish Camphill Communities to raise £20,000 to provide a level of revenue stability
until June 2026.
We have jointly, with AHG, made a bid to secure people carrier vehicles for the day
centre. This was successful, thanks to the support of the Camphill Foundation (UK and
Nl)- The vehicles are making a difference to the lives of those attending the day centre.
During the year both HGS and AHG have been focussed also on the development of
the new-build day ￿ntre.
The building work, which was started in February 2023, by laying the foundations,
continued from March 2024, thanks to the funds made available by the Romanian
Ministry of Work, Family, Social Protection and Old People (2.000.000 RON) and the
Softkvare AG Stiftung Germany (120.000 EUR). The building has been designed by
complying with the quality standards for a Day Centre
for adults ',I'ith disabilities and at the same time giving honour to the traditional
architectural style of the village. The construction company is Constructasist SRL.
HGS will be supporting the fundraising forthe fixtures, fittings and furniture not covered
by the building contract.
In addition to the fundraising activities, HGS has=
1. Provided 1-1 sessions to￿ 2nd over the year, have met on zoom at least
once per month and more ofteii, if things need discussing and resolving.
2 Provided support to the staff team which during the year, has consisted of..
project lead,. W psychologist.
art therapisusocial care.,
pait-tllme social worker, and ￿ the gaidener.
3. Supported Wl to undertake a course in mental health and mental well-being.
This support has been both financial and by providing time to attend the
lectureslseminars. The leaming from this 2-year course has already supported
the development of our input to, and impact on, the beneficiaries.

4. Supported to attend the annual social therapy professional meeting in the Netherlands. This is important for personal growth,  renewal and for learning. 

AHG attracts both professional and personal visitors wishing to learn from the work that is being done with young people with special needs. I end this report with a quote from , visitor from Texas, involved with Spring House in near Cluj: _What an amazing work you are doing!   Your strength of character and your drive were shining through and the team you have put together is awesome.  The structure, the work, and the growth are great, but the smiles of those who you work with told the complete story._ 

The Trustees of Harom Galamb Scotland are privileged to support AHG in Transylvania.
