At thetime I had little idea that the challenges of theeconomic downturn would be as great as theyhave turned out to be.Thankfully, the third sector, despite theseextreme pressures, has managed to comethrough the year dented but not down. I hopethat with new opportunities being providedthrough European Union, Welsh AssemblyGovernment and UK programmes bridging theend of 2008/09 and the start of 2009/10, theresilience shown this past year will see recoverycome in future.It was good to see our award schemes forvolunteers and voluntary organisationscontinuing to flourish. Competition gets keeneryear by year - even in difficult times: a tribute toall those involved in the third sector.I express my gratitude to all those who promoteand take part in voluntary activities from thestaff of WCVA through our county voluntarycouncils and all our member organisations- large and small - in our communitiesthroughout Wales.Thank you very much.Win GriffithsWrth gloi fy adroddiad y llynedd, dywedais fymod yn ffyddiog y gallai WCVA a’r mudiadausy’n perthyn iddo ymateb yn gadarnhaol i’rsialensiau yr oeddent yn eu hwynebu. Ar ypryd, ychydig a wyddwn y byddai sialensiau’rdirywiad economaidd mor fawr ag yr oeddentmewn gwirionedd.Diolch i’r drefn, er gwaetha’r pwysau aruthrolhwn, mae’r trydydd sector wedi llwyddo i ddoddrwy’r flwyddyn, ac er ei fod wedi dioddeftolc, mae’r sector yn dal ar ei draed. Wrthi gyfleoedd newydd gael eu darparu drwyraglenni’r Undeb Ewropeaidd, LlywodraethCynulliad Cymru a’r DU ar gyfer y cyfnod sy’npontio diwedd 2008/09 a dechrau 2009/10,gobeithiaf y bydd y gwytnwch a ddangoswydyn y flwyddyn diwethaf yn esgor ar adferiad yny dyfodol.Roedd yn bleser gweld ein cynlluniaugwobrwyo ar gyfer gwirfoddolwyr a mudiadaugwirfoddol yn parhau i ffynnu. Mae’r cystadlu’nfwy brwd bob blwyddyn, hyd yn oed mewncyfnodau anodd, ac mae hynny’n deyrnged ibawb sy’n ymwneud â’r trydydd sector.Hoffwn fynegi fy niolch i bawb sy’n hyrwyddoac yn cymryd rhan mewn digwyddiadaugwirfoddol, gan gynnwys staff WCVA drwy’rcynghorau gwirfoddol sirol a’r holl fudiadausy’n aelodau – yn fach ac yn fawr – yn eincymunedau o Fôn i Fynwy.The period covered by this year’s annual reportincluded the fastest and deepest economiccrisis since WCVA was established 75 years agoin 1934.I am pleased to report that WCVA respondedquickly and extensively to the crisis – surveyingthe impact, proposing a wide ranging recessionaction plan, and offering help and advice toorganisations experiencing difficulties.WCVA has followed through this initialresponse, by helping organisations adjust andadapt to the new realities, while also taking upnew opportunities where they arose.Some of those new opportunities have includednew European funded initiatives which, in turn,have required the sector to learn new languagesand skills in procurement and tendering, whichit has and is doing with speed and focus.The outlook for the next few years will bechallenging, but the sector’s combination ofinnovation, agility, and entrepreneurship, willbring hope to the many who depend on itsservices and activities to enrich their lives andthose of future generations.Graham Benfield OBERoedd cyfnod adroddiad blynyddol y flwyddynhon yn cynnwys yr argyfwng economaiddcyflymaf a’r dwysaf ers i WCVA gael ei sefydlu75 mlynedd yn ôl yn 1934.Rwy’n falch o ddweud i WCVA ymateb yngyflym ac yn helaeth i’r argyfwng, ganarolygu’r effaith, cynnig cynllun gweithredueang ar gyfer y dirwasgiad, a chynnig cymortha chyngor i fudiadau a oedd yn wynebuanawsterau.Mae WCVA wedi parhau i gynorthwyo arôl yr ymateb cychwynnol hwn, drwy helpumudiadau i newid ac addasu i’r realiti newydd,ac ar yr un pryd wedi manteisio ar gyfleoeddnewydd wrth iddynt ymddangos.Mae rhai o’r cyfleoedd newydd hynny wedicynnwys cynlluniau newydd sy’n cael cyllidEwropeaidd. Mae’r cynlluniau hynny yn eu trowedi mynnu bod y sector yn dysgu ieithoedd asgiliau newydd o ran caffael a thendro, ac mae’rsector wedi canolbwyntio ar wneud hynny’ngyflym ac yn parhau i wneud hynny.Mae’r rhagolwg ar gyfer y blynyddoedd nesafyn heriol i bob golwg, ond, bydd arloesedd,ystwythder ac entrepreneuriaeth y sector yndod â gobaith i’r niferoedd sy’n dibynnu ar eiwasanaethau a’i weithgareddau i gyfoethogieu bywydau hwy a bywydau cenedlaethau’rdyfodol.Diolch yn fawr iawn.Graham Benfield OBEWin Griffiths

Moreinformation on www.wcva.org.uk.Photo: Andrew JefferyWEFO promises to examineStructural Funds issuesWAG to respondto Assemblyfunding inquiryThe Communities and Culture Committee has published thereport of the A sembly's first ever inquiry into voluntarysector funding. The Welsh Assembly Government isrequired to respond to the report and its 25 recommendationswithin six weeks.The Committee's report does not call for additional fundingbut says there are opportunities to help organisations 'to makebetter use of their time and energy, for example, by improvingacce s to information on funding and reducing bureaucracy inapplication procedures'.It also said that some contributors felt the third sector's vitalcontribution to areas of public policy was not suitably recognisedor rewarded. There was a perception tha the sector was regardedas a consultee, rather than as a strategic partner in planning anddelivering public services.'We consider that this perception should be cha lenged, as itcould lead to disillusionment and disengagement by volunteers,'the report added. 'This is a ma ter for all three sectors to addre s,but we feel tha the public sector should take the lead.'WCVA Chief Executive Graham Benfield OBE welcomed thefindings of the inquiry. 'This debate makes an importantstatement abou the funding of the sector and we wi l bediscussing with the Welsh Assembly Government how to takeforward,' he said.The Commi tee also recommends that the A semblyGovernment should fund four pilot projects in rural and urbanareas to provide training and support to help small organisationsbecome more self-sufficient - and tha the private sector shouldbe encouraged to help; either by providing sponsorship orlending sta f with specific ski ls for short-term secondments.Janice Gregory AM, Chair of the Committee, said: 'The thirdsector plays a vital role in civic society - not only in the range ofservices delivered but also in providing opportunities for peopleto give of their time, experience and expertise for the benefit ofothers and the enrichment of community life.'story continues on page twoThe Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) has pledged to try to resolve the thirdsector's concerns abou the future of Structural Funds programmes in a bid tohelp organisations achieve their goal of longer term sustainability.Following a recent online survey by WCVA that revealed 93% of organisations that hadbeen involved in Objective One, Two and Three funding programmes wanted to deliveraspects of the new round of initiatives, WCVA hosted a meeting in Mid Wales to a low thento put questions to WEFO representatives.The Llandrindod Wells event provided an opportunity for organisations to raise i suesfacing the sector, and 150 people were given presentations from three key individuals:WEFO's Head of Programme Management Gretel Leeb, Chief Executive of Swansea Councilfor Voluntary Service Carol Green, and WCVA's Director of Learning and CommunityDevelopment Phil Fiander.Many of them expressed concerns that this was a time of great uncertainty about the lackof clarity abou the role the sector wi l play in delivering projects, and how it might beexpected to work co laboratively with the A sembly and other A sembly SponsoredGovernment Bodies, local authorities and co leagues in the sector. While it was widelyrecognised by everyone in Wales tha the sector had an important role in delivering someof the most cha lenging aspects of the programmes, many organisations were asking how.WCVA Chief Executive Graham Benfield OBE said WCVA was continuing to makerepresentations to WEFO and the Assembly Government abou the problems the sector wasexperiencing as a result of the time it is taking for the programmes to get up to speed withimplementation. There were also complexities involved in designing and deliveringprojects in partnership with other stakeholders.Carol Green said that from the local perspective 'things were not good so far'. Reflectingon the past Objective One programme, she recognised the proce ses lacked coherence pan-Wales, were bureaucratic and did not deliver the intended agenda.She said the previous programme had set a standard of expectation, organisations andgroups were engaged at a loca level, and sub-groups enabled sma l groups to participate inthe Objective 1 programme.The i sue of procurement was causing problems. Information, advice and signpostingwas supposed to be provided by the SETs (Spatial European Teams), but it had not yethappened and was needed now. Everyone wanted to know where they fit in the schemeand who they teamed up with.Gretel Leeb invited organisations with existing projects under the Objective One andObjective Three programmes to apply for extensions and additional funding to extendactivity. She said the favourable exchange rate had created a windfall for both old and newprogrammes and most Priorities and Measures had funding available, with the exception ofP4 M3.She announced that 27% of the projects cu rently under appraisal were from third sectororganisations. While the percentage of Welsh A sembly Government projects approvedwas higher than other sectors, WEFO was waiting for tenders for delivery to be put out onthose projects and appear on Se l2Wales.story continues on page twoTough times force hard choices. Even for thethousands of charities, community groups andsocial enterprises in Wales’ third sector - thatlive by their ability to make much of little - therepercussions of the downturn are likely topose strong cha lenges. Fa ling income and anincrease in demand for services are ‘squeezing’some organisations. It may even be the case thatfor the third sector, the worst is yet to come; atighter rein on public expenditure is possible,as a consequence of the bi lions spent on tryingto re-ignite the economy. Proposed changes tofunding regimes – for example Legal ServicesCommission funding for advice services, and thegeneral trend towards more procurement andtendering – underline the increasing complexityand uncertainty of the environment in which weoperate.Without doubt, the recession wi l test a l sectorsin unprecedented ways. More than ever, weneed to learn fast, and from each other. Thereare no magic spe ls to ward off the storm – butorganisations that manage we l, by assessingrisks and planning how to meet them, may evenemerge in a better relative position than before.This conference is aimed at ChiefExecutives, senior staff and trustees, andwi l offer an opportunity to:Contribute to debates with theAssembly and key public sectoragencies on how they intend tofulfill commitments on sectorsupport and funding, made inmore prosperous timesAccess practical guidance onhelping your organisation to meetthe challenges aheadAlso:Marketplace of exhibitorsLunch and networkingTough times:management and funding challengesin – and beyond – the recession14 May, Parc Hotel, CardiffAs providers of care and important voices for local communities,voluntary organisations are integral to health and social care delivery. Themodernisation of service design and delivery envisaged in key AssemblyGovernment strategies needs a range of players working together todeliver services ‘in the right place, to the right person, at the right time’.Effective partnerships across a l sectors can helpto increase capacity, extend choice and improvequality. And the involvement of patient,carer and community advocates – central tonurturing community engagement – is key toachieving the wider public health agenda ofpreventing i lness and tackling inequalities.This is the vision, and also the task. Thisconference offers an unmissable day toshare experiences and learning with thirdsector and partner organisations of a l sizesand from a l sectors.
