3 CAVS Annual Report 2018—2019
It is once again a pleasure to present CAVS Annual Report. For CAVS, 2018-19 has been another busy
and successful year. As has been the situation over the last few years, CAVS Board of Trustees and
staff are all aware that we are facing more challenges. The biggest is to identify new funding opportu-
nities and to work towards making our current work and projects more sustainable while still deliver-
ing on the core services expected of a CVC by our member organisations and the wider Third Sector in
Carmarthenshire.
The demand on our services is ever increasing and as is more and more the case, the Third Sector is
looked upon to deliver high-quality but low-cost services. The sector has risen to this challenge and
can indeed deliver the quality services required in a professional and business-like manner. However
this service provision has to come at a fair price with full-cost recovery being exercised. We have con-
tinued to deliver the full range of services a County Voluntary Council is expected to deliver.
Once again this year, we have continued to work closely with our partners. Working with our fellow
County Voluntary Councils and Wales Council for Voluntary Action, CAVS is part of Third Sector Sup-
port Wales, a network of support organisations for the whole of the Third Sector in Wales providing a
service under the four pillars of Engagement and Influencing, Volunteering, Good Governance and Sus-
tainable Funding.
We hope you enjoy our Annual Report, it provides a snapshot of what we have achieved during the
year and we hope you are inspired by the wealth and breadth of services provided by CAVS from our
core functions through to our projects.
To find out more about what we do please visit our website www.cavs.org.uk where you can also dis-
cover more about membership opportunities and how you can become involved in our work.

CAVS Annual Report 2018—2019 6
During 2018 -19 support and guidance were given to a variety of organisations from small community clubs and groups through to national organisations.
This provision included information and support around a whole range of enquiries such as:
Business planning
Choosing an appropriate governing document
Registering as a Charitable Incorporated Or-ganisation (C.I.O.) with the Charity Commis-sion
Registering as a Community Interest Company (C.I.C.) with Companies House
The roles and responsibilities of trustees, di-rectors, management committees
The DBS system
The recruitment, induction and management of staff and volunteers
Policy development
Financial management
Monitoring and evaluation
Quality assurance systems and publicity
Marketing and promotion
Good Governance
Over the last year many organisations have requested support with updating their governing documents, many of these have been over 20 years old, and need-ing to be bought more up to date. There have also been many requests in relation to land ownership and leases on buildings.
Trustee Network
The Trustee Network provided an opportunity for new and existing trustees to learn from the experience of others and an informal opportunity to raise issues they needed support with.
We are always looking at new ways in which to engage Trustees in this network, and what better way to do this than to invite people to a coffee morning and talk about issues that can come from being a trustee.

Engagement and Influencing
Carmarthenshire Third Sector Forum
We encouraged groups to attend the Forum in May 2018 by introducing speakers on specific topics and ensured that there was a networking ele-ment to the session. Presentations were given by: Social Business Wales Institute of Fundraising Shared Lives Plus
Standard agenda items at the forum included the Public Services Board update and up-dates from the strategic partnerships. Linked to these updates, there was an opportunity for attendees to question the officers present, as well as raising issues with CAVS Chief Officer and Chair of CAVS Board of Trustees that they believed should be highlighted. Other items included a Funding Update and time to network as well as share information, experiences and best practice.
Health & Well-being Network
This group was formed in May 2018 in order to draw those working in Health and Social Care around the table. This was to ensure a Third Sector voice in strategic developments following the implementation of the Social Ser-vices and Well-being (Wales) Act and Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act. The group links with the work of CUSP (p12) and aims to feed information to and from the Early Intervention and Prevention PSB Delivery group.
Presentations have been given by British Red Cross Connecting Communities Project and Swansea University Da-ta Science Dept. So far we have held 3 meetings all of which have been a success. We aim to build on this suc-cess in the future.
Supporting the Third Sector
Conference at Canolfan Yr Egin November 2018
This conference was organised jointly with Carmarthenshire County Council, Social Business Wales and University of Wales Trinity Saint David (funded through the Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020).
The conference provided practical pointers on:
Using digital technology to support your organisation. A look at ways to make the most of online tools and technologies.
Engaging with young people - the benefits of engaging with young people to support your organisation’s needs and initiatives.
Developing the commercial side of your organisa-tion and the level of support that is available.
There was an opportunity to network and share knowledge and tips with other Third Sector organisa-tions within the county.

Joint working
During 2018-19 CAVS worked closely with statutory partners to ensure that the voice of the sector was heard in the county. Feedback to the sector was through the Carmarthenshire Third Sector Forum, Health and Well-being Network and through CAVS website, e-bulletin and Social Media.
CAVS Chief Officer sat on the Public Services Board. The Carmarthenshire Well-being Plan was approved in May 2018 and delivery groups were formed to implement the plan focussing on the four key well-being objec-tives. CAVS Chief Officer has Chaired and been the ex-pert lead for the Strong Connections Delivery Group and CAVS has also represented the Third Sector on each of the other delivery groups.
We also worked with a wide range of partners, including:
Carmarthenshire ACL Partnership
Carmarthenshire County Council
Carmarthenshire Integrated Services Board
Carmarthenshire Syrian Refugee Task Group

CAVS
CUSP Carmarthenshire United Support Project
The aim of CUSP is to provide a coordinated approach by Third Sector organisations to support people to live well and independently. CAVS is pivotal to the partnership being a success and provided the secretariat for the con-tinued development of the partnership.
CUSP is for those who are on the cusp of needing care and support from statutory services where often a small set back can tip them over the edge. This project will look at ways in which to build resilience and practical help. Offering a way in which organisations can forge links in the community and look at ways in which to maximise efficiency and effectiveness in order for people to feel safe, stay well and live independently. Working together in partnership will offer a way in which people feel they are being supported. The project implements a referral system that all organisations will use to ensure we are offering a person-centred approach.
When supported by CUSP an individual will receive an assessment by a CUSP Support Worker, who will map out community resources, provision and other assets that can help that person build their resilience. Partner and non-partner organisations will refer clients on to CUSP.

Sharing Information
The CAVS e-bulletin was sent out regularly throughout the year.
In January 2019 it changed from weekly to fortnightly. It includ-
ed sections on News, Events, Training, Funding, Consultations,
Volunteering and 3rd Sector Jobs. People can sign up to the
ebulletin via the CAVS website.
Three editions of CAVS newsletter, Llais Myrddin (Spring, Sum-
mer/Autumn and Winter) were also published, providing extra
news and information for the Third Sector.
The CAVS website and e-bulletin and Social Media were used to
share news of developments in the Public Sector, details of con-
sultations, campaigns, public engagement events and infor-
mation from Partners and Third Sector organisations with the
aim of raising awareness and encouraging and promoting active
involvement with local issues and concerns.
infoengine
CAVS worked with other CVCs to
continue to develop and promote
Infoengine as a primary source of
online information about Third Sec-
tor services across Carmarthenshire
and Wales.
Infoengine infoengine.cymru pro-
vides an easy way for Third Sector
organisations to have a web pres-
ence and promote their services
online.
In October 2018 the information
sharing link between Infoengine and
DEWIS Cymru became operational.
DEWIS Cymru is a website providing
information about well-being in Wales, developed by Data Cymru on behalf of the 22 local authorities in Wales.
This is a practical collaboration between the Third Sector and the public sector in Wales and ensures that infor-
mation is readily available to both the public and to those who offer advice and support to the public across
Wales. In practical terms, information about such services is now visible on both sites regardless of where the
information is added.

CAVS Volunteer Centre
CAVS Volunteer Centre, based at The Mount in Carmarthen, works to promote and support volunteering throughout Carmarthenshire. We work with both volunteer-involving groups and individuals who are interested in becoming volunteers. Our work with potential vol-unteers is very varied and based on individual need. By giving infor-mation and support about volunteering placements, appropriate to the individual’s skills, personal development needs and interests, we aim to match the volunteer with an appropriate placement organisation. We can also provide informal training for groups of active volunteers. Placement organisations are given guidance and support around good practice through informal and accredited training, assistance with the development of appropriate policies and procedures and networking opportunities to share good practice. The Volunteer Centre hosts CVON (Carmarthenshire Volunteer Organisers’ Network) meetings. This successful network is an information session for volunteer co-ordinators and supports over 200 Third Sector groups in the County. The network offers an opportunity to share best practice in all areas of volunteer management and gov-ernance through lively discussions, information sharing, workshops and guest speakers as well as including CAVS and Volunteer Centre updates at each meeting. CVON met three times during the year. Presentations have been given from a wide range of organisations including, this year, by Mark Thomas (UWTSD), Carol Lincoln and Abbi Steanson (Burns By Your Side) Phil Gibson (CAB Witness Service). We also had an Introduction to the new volunteering-wales.net website, presented by Fflur Lawlor, and updates from Jamie Horton and Alud Jones about developments in the Rural Volunteering Project.

Goodbye Fflur
In mid-February, CAVS was sad to say goodbye to Fflur Lawlor after 15 years with the organisation. She will be greatly missed by her colleagues and the many volunteers and organisations she has supported over the years. Fflur began work with CAVS in 2003 as a Young People’s Network Develop-ment Officer before moving on to becoming a Volunteering Officer in 2004. Over the years she was also responsible for the BIG Volunteering project, Engage project, young volunteers, the Millennium Volunteers scheme and managed the Youth Led Grant on behalf of GwirVol. Fflur also facilitated accredited training for volunteers and volunteer managers with her col-leagues. For the past year and a half she was the Project Manager for the Rural Volunteering Project and was also the lead officer for CAVS working towards achieving the quality standard Trusted Charity. Her knowledge of the Voluntary Sector in Carmarthenshire has been invaluable to both vol-unteers and organisations involving volunteers. Fflur was a key member of the team in CAVS, popular amongst her col-leagues and very well thought of by the large number of volunteers and organisations in the county who she has worked with diligently during her time with CAVS. We wish Fflur all the very best for the future with her lovely family and of course every success in her future employment. Goodbye and Good luck Fflur. We’ll miss you!!

Youth Volunteering
The Project works with young people aged from 11 - 25 years in Carmarthenshire. This work identifies suitable volunteering opportunities for the individual which maximizes their potential and ensures they reap the benefits that volunteering can bring. The project is all inclusive, regardless of disability, gender, ethnic minority, language, circumstances (e.g. children in care), ensuring access and participation for all as far as possible, and enables them to become valued members of their community.
Millennium Volunteers
Millennium Volunteers is a national initiative designed to promote and recognise volunteering among young people aged 14-25. There are 3 levels to the award – 50hrs, 100hrs and 200hrs. Over the past 12 months, 10 new young people have been recruited and signed up to the scheme. 10 young people achieved 50 hours, 11 young people achieved their 100 hour certifi-cate and 1 young person completed the scheme and achieved 200 hours of volunteering. The scheme changed in 2018 when a new digital platform for volunteering was introduced – which meant that volunteers can now log their hours and track their volunteering activities through the website. CAVS Youth Volunteering Scheme is designed to promote and recognise volunteering among young people aged 11-13 years old within Carmarthenshire. There are 5 levels to the award – 20hrs, 30hrs, 50hrs, 100hrs and 500 hrs. The 500 hrs level was introduced this year for 11-25 year olds with the first award presented to Brittany Alsop
-Bingham of Carmarthenshire Youth Council. The scheme makes positive impacts within local communities, offer challenging and interesting opportunities for all young people, and increase recognition of volunteering by young people in the community.
Volunteering
CAVS Volunteer Centre Training
We worked with neighbouring CVCs to assist them with the development of ‘Preparing to Volunteer’ training courses for delivery to potential volunteers. We also co-delivered a piece of training with CAVO to a group of Jobcentre Plus customers. We developed short taster courses for delivery by the Rural Volunteering Project at their HUBS. These included ‘Volunteering Towards Work’, and a ‘Confidence Building’ workshop. During April and May we delivered our 5 day Agored Cymru accredited training course ‘Managing Volunteers’. We had a full house of fifteen participants, thirteen of them chose to submit work for the accreditation at level three. All were successful. Feedback from course participants was excellent. We aim to deliver this course every two years, according to demand.

Volunteers’ Week 2018
Volunteers’ Week takes place every year between June 1st and June 7th. On June 6th, we held a Community Get Together at the National Wool Museum in Drefach Felindre. This free event, a partnership between Volunteering Matters and CAVS, was aimed at discovering more about volunteering in the area and how to get involved. Also featured was harp music by Clarsach Society, information stands about local groups and demonstrations by staff of the Wool Museum and other organisations. On June 7th, CAVS Mobile Volunteer Unit was in Guildhall Square, Carmarthen, 10am-2pm to promote volunteering and the opportunities available in Carmarthenshire. We also used this opportunity to promote the ‘Pimp my Bus’ competition, looking for a new design for our Mobile Volun-teer Unit.
Youth Grants
CAVS Youth Grant Panel Having worked with the Carmarthenshire County Council Youth Participation Officer and the Carmarthenshire Youth Council we were able to get 6 young people from different areas in the county to become involved in the process and sit on CAVS Youth Grant Panel. The panel is totally youth led, in that the young people came up with the criteria and procedures along with all the marketing materials to publicise the grant. The panel distributes grants for the Youth Led Grant.
GwirVol Youth Led Grant CAVS Volunteer Centre is the administrator for the GwirVol Youth Led Grant. The aim of the scheme is to support a range of small volunteering projects and activities, led and carried out by young people, with applications selected and recommended by a panel of young people aged 14-25. £3200 was available to distribute and each project could apply for up to £1,000. Five young people participated in the decision making process for the GwirVol Youth Led Grant. Funding was awarded to five organisations from across the county in order that volunteer-involving projects and initiatives could be delivered:

The free training programmes have been devised
to support and encourage potential volunteers to take the next step and for organisations to expand their skills…
Confidence Building - Both organisations and volun-teers reported that low self confidence and self es-teem was an area they needed support with.
Basic Food Hygiene - This suggestion was offered due to the number of community venues being used for public events and requiring the support of their neighbours. Whilst not certificated this would give individuals the confidence to apply for these roles and undertake further training.
Volunteering Towards Employment - Whilst not eve-ry volunteer is looking to use volunteering as a step-ping stone into work, it was found within the county, that many could see the benefits of identifying trans-ferable skills and increasing their employability.
Promoting your Organisation using Film - Whilst groups could see the value of promoting their volun-teering roles on the Volunteering Wales Website, and their own websites, it was agreed that being able to access social media in a more dynamic manner would perhaps be the next step forward. So using iPads and iPhones we developed a workshop to create social media clips.

Rural Volunteering Project
The team has continued to be busy meeting new groups and some well established ones, developing their training programmes and attending their outreach venues across the county.

Volunteering
Throughout the year the Rural Volunteering team has been present across our Rural Communities of Carmar-thenshire promoting the value of volunteering and as-sisting both potential volunteers, volunteers and not-for-profit groups to realise their potential.
The outreach element has been a tremendous op-
portunity and allowed us to spend more face-to-face time to listen to the needs of our stakeholders. e.g.

“They took the time to listen to what I wanted, which
made a huge difference at the very start. I didn’t feel
rushed or not heard. They signpost-
ed me to relevant groups and then
kept in touch to see how things were
going”
– Amanda went on to volunteer with
a number of organisations including
The British Red Cross, Mencap, and
Radio Glangwili.

Purple Routes Play Project
Purple Routes has quietened down a little over the last twelve months.
Unfortunately funding has not been forthcoming for the project although
we have managed to deliver some sessions in both Carmarthenshire and
Pembrokeshire.
We have provided play for Pembroke Fun Day, an event for Disabled
Children and Young People hosted by Pembrokeshire Agricultural
Showground.
Pembrokeshire Show was another huge success for us with over
700 children and their families engaging with us during the 3 day event.
Purple Routes
Hire Equipment We are still hiring out equipment for use at
events such as birthday parties and school
fetes. Various equipment is available e.g. soft
play, badge making machine and stocks.
The Way Forward Our very small team works with dedication
and commitment to ensure children and
young people get an opportunity to play
freely, intrinsically and in nature.
