It is once again a pleasure to present CAVS Annual Report. For CAVS, 2017-18 has been another busy and
successful year whilst celebrating our 20th anniversary as the County Voluntary Council serving Carmar-
thenshire.

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 opportunities and to work towards mak-
ing our current work and projects more sustainable while still delivering 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 pro-
vision has to come at a fair price with full-cost recovery being exercised. We have continued 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. We have joined with the other
County Voluntary Councils and Wales Council for Voluntary Action to develop Third Sector Support Wales,
working across the pillars of Volunteering, Good Governance, Sustainable Funding and Engagement and
Influencing. In addition, a great deal of work has been undertaken with statutory partners, ensuring the
delivery of the requirements of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the Social Ser-
vices and Well-being Wales Act 2014.

We hope you enjoy our Annual Report, it only 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 such as Purple Routes Play Project and our new Rural Volunteering Pro-
ject.

vices Board update and updates from the strategic partner-
ships. 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 reg-
ular items included the Funding Update, time to network,
share information and experiences and best practice.

Engagement and Influencing
Partnership
During 2017-18 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 and through CAVS web-
site, ebulletin and social media.

CAVS Chief Officer sat on the Public Services Board, with CAVS representing the sector on both the operational de-
livery group and the relevant work-streams that sit alongside and the thematic groups that sit beneath the PSB.
CAVS attended regular meetings and workshops to contribute to the development of the Carmarthenshire Well-
being Plan. We encouraged Third Sector and public involvement in the development of the plan by promoting PSB
Public engagement events and the consultation.

CAVS also worked with

                                             those on the ‘cusp’ of being not able to look after themselves at home.

Volunteering
 CAVS Volunteer Centre
 CAVS Volunteer Centre works to promote and support volunteering
 throughout Carmarthenshire. It aims to raise standards for volun-
 teers helping them to benefit from quality volunteering opportuni-
 ties. The Volunteer Centre is based at the Mount, Carmarthen.

 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 Centre matches local volunteering opportunities with prospective volunteers. Offering infor-
 mation, guidance and support to individuals, we can also provide informal training for volunteers. Quarterly
 Bulletins of volunteering opportunities are circulated to our contact list of volunteers highlighting new and
 urgent placements that are available.

 The Volunteer Centre also hosts CVON (Carmarthenshire Volunteer Organisers’ Network) meetings. CVON
 met three times during the year. 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 governance through lively discussions, infor-
 mation sharing, workshops and guest speakers as well as including Volunteer Centre updates at each
 meeting. The various presentations have been given from a wide range of organisations including, this year,
 by Captain Neil Duquemin (Salvation Army), David Thomas (Fix and Shift Handyman Service- Commodum
 Ltd), by Kim Bacon (HUTS Workshop Home Befriending) and by Helen Hunt (British Red Cross– CUSP Carmar-
 thenshire United Support Project) and Rob Lewis (British Red Cross – Community Connectors). We also had
 an Introduction to Infoengine by Marie Mitchell, Chief Officer, CAVS followed by an Informal discussion
 among attendees.

 Volunteers’ Week 2017
 Volunteers’ Week takes place every year between June
 1st and June 7th. This year The CAVS staff team marked
 the occasion by pitching in and volunteering for a day.
 We spent the morning in Kidwelly helping with a Litter
 Pick around the town, organised by Keep Wales Tidy.
 After a reviving lunch, we were off to Equate to join
 their volunteers to do a bit of yard clearing. An ener-
 getic and invigorating day!

 On 6th June one of our Volunteering Officers was invit-
 ed to join Age Cymru Sir Gar to meet their volunteers
 and join in a celebration tea. She also handed over a
 renewal of the Investors in Volunteers Award to com-
 mend the group’s continuing high standards with re-
 gard to supporting and valuing their volunteers.

 Youth Volunteering
 The Project works with all young people aged from 11 - 25 years in Carmarthenshire. This work identifies suita-
 ble 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. During the year, the project received 102 en-
 quiries from young people.

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 dis-
tributes grants for the Youth Led
Grant.

 Rural Volunteering Project
 Appointed in October 2017 The Rural Volunteering Project
 (RVP) has been promoting the importance of volunteering
 and reaching out to the rural areas of Carmarthenshire.
 Their aim has been to tackle a range of issues around vol-
 unteering in these rural areas, including broadening the
 scope of opportunities, providing training for volunteers
 and promoting the health and wellbeing, social and community values of volunteering.

                                         The project has received funding through the Welsh Government Rural
                                         Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 (RDP), which is
                                         funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the
                                         Welsh Government and was officially launched in January 2018.

                                      Liaising with a myriad of community councils, associations and groups
                                      across the patch there has been an overwhelmingly positive response and
                                      the project has created some firm partnerships. As well as using their mo-
 bile volunteering unit they have also been able to incorporate the RVP outreach programme into some vital and
 dynamic venues already well placed at the heart of their corners of the county. The development of these
 ‘hubs’, and the time used to make connections, have all contributed to form foundations for the remaining
 length of the project.

  ed the event.
♥ Pembrokeshire Show was another huge success for us - over 700 children and their families engaged with
  us during the 3 day event.

  2018, which proved to be a massive success.
