She also arranged forone-on-one mentoring with an SFC advisor – and continues to receiveadvice when needed.NewLink Wales recently carried out an efficiency savings plan in order toreview each aspect of the organisation, applying the principles learnedfrom Funding Bids course and supplemented with vital advice andcontacts supplied by SFC.

WCVA Impact report 2011–12Services for the Sector | Gwasanaeth ar gyfer y sectorTrustees and governanceThird sector governance has been under media, political and regulatory spotlightsthis year, due to a small number of high profile cases, including the closure ofAWEMA, where governance weaknesses have been all too evident. Taking ona trustee role can be challenging and demanding, as trustees are ultimatelyresponsible for making sure their organisations are well run, solvent, and workingtowards the purpose for which they were established. We help them do this byproviding Wales’ 230,000 trustees with access to timely information, guidance andsupport.GoodgovernanceA code for the third sector in WalesSecond edition: April 2012WCVA acknowledges and thanks ACEVO, the Charity Commission, Charity Trustee Network, ICSA and NCVO for permission to publish this guide in Wales.We also helped trusteesto be confident aboutleading their organisationsto deliver effectively andefficiently, and contributedto better third sectorgovernance through:• zOrganising conferences,seminars and workshopsfor trustees, attractingover 200 participants, onsubjects including charityaccounts, employmentlaw issues, and how toengage younger boardmembers.• zProviding a monthlye-bulletin for individualtrustees, with over 700direct recipients.• zDeveloping ActionLearning Sets withtrustees (through ourSustainable FundingCymru initiative), lookingat financial sustainability.16We published new editions of twocomplementary practical guides:Faith and hope don’t run charities(trustees do), and Good Governance– a code for the third sector in Wales.The first, Faith and hope, is now inits third edition, and is as popular asever.Good governance characteristics –set out as six high level principlesin the Code – are designed to helporganisations to assess whether theyare following sound practice. Theyaim to be universal and applicable toall third sector organisations.As a practical measure to helptrustee boards evaluate the strengthof their organisation’s governance,we have also developed a Goodgovernance health check. We knowthat the majority of organisations inthe third sector are doing a fantasticjob, and we want to help trusteesensure that they are working in thebest possible way. Our governancehealth check is a self-assessmenttool which has been designed inaccordance with the principles setout in the Code. While the primarypurpose is to assist trustee boardsto work towards adhering to theCode’s principles, it should also helpboards of any size to demonstratetheir good governance practices toregulators, funders, beneficiaries andstakeholders.Faithand hopedon’t run charities(trustees do)A practical guide for voluntary members of management committeesThird Edition 2012 • Compiled by Mel Witherden‘It’s a good read, and certainlythe most user friendly,comprehensive guidance ongovernance that I’ve comeacross.

After compiling evidencethe sector was able to use the TSPCand the Finance Ministerial Meetingsto raise concerns with officials andMinisters. Agreement was securedaround criteria for payment of grantsin advance, and a number of otherissues were addressed.

That is putting people and theirlives at the centre of public services and designing and delivering those serviceswith them in their communities.We have encouraged public bodies to work with the third sector to developservices that are closer to people, more responsive to their needs, and which addvalue by drawing on community resources.We have promoted therole the sector can playin participation andcitizen engagement,commissioning, deliveringand scrutinising publicservices:• zThrough ParticipationCymru, we respondedto over 1,300 citizenengagement enquiries,organised 25 trainingcourses and worked withpartners to implement thenew National Principles forPublic Engagement in Wales.• zProvided advice ontendering, collaborationand mergers.• zProvided 20 training coursesand 13 additional events onlegislation and scrutiny.• zParticipated in the WelshGovernment’s New Modelswork stream.• zFacilitating a citizen directedsupport reference group.• zProvided a trainingprogramme to implementthird sector Standards inHealth Care.z • Working with the HealthMinister, the WelshGovernment, the LHBChairs’ lead for the thirdsector and CVCs onthe development of thethird sector action plansunder the LHB 5 YearFrameworks.Co-production in actionOne approach in social care,called Citizen Directed Support,is spearheading co-productionin Wales. Citizen DirectedSupport enables voice, controland independence, through safe,sustainable and economically viableresponses to support planning.It is about people being in control ofthe support they need to live the lifethey choose.It empowers people to selfdeterminetheir choices and to findnew and innovative ways of gettinga life that is right for them and beingsupported in a way that is right forthem.We are undertaking a researchproject with partner organisations tofocus on identifying the benefits andenablers of Citizen Directed Support,as part of the Welsh Government’sEffective Services for VulnerableGroups work.One example of co-production inpractice is the Rent Pilot Projectwhich is being delivered by CartrefiCymru, United Welsh HousingAssociation and Dimensions.More co-production in action: A CodesignedFuture: The Third Sector Role inHealth and Social Care in Hywel Dda beinglaunched at WCVA’s annual conference byHazel Lloyd Lubran, Ceredigion Associationof Voluntary Organisations, Win Griffiths,WCVA, Janet Hawes and Sarah Veck, HywelDda Health Board.The project is normalising thehousing and support of people withlearning disabilities by exploringwhat the tenants undertakethemselves and what paid supportstaff do, creating greater mutualism.This has already led to individualsreceiving their benefits directly,enabling them to pay their rentsthemselves, and joining their localCredit Union or opening a bankaccount for the first time.32
