What is Interlink? Interlink RCT is a members-led charity that listens to and works alongside individuals, community groups and voluntary organisations to make a difference in local communities in and around Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Our approach We believe improving how people feel about themselves and their community is about everyone working together to build trust, respect and understanding. It’s about working alongside people and communities, helping them build their capacity to lead, connect and have the power to influence and strengthen their communities. We work alongside local communities, starting with what the community already has – its people, buildings and land – to find out and take action on what matters to local people. We connect and work together
with partners to have a greater impact. Interlink RCT’s two main areas of work are: Community advice Providing support to community and voluntary organisations. We provide information, advice and support to community groups and voluntary organisations. Health and wellbeing Providing support to individuals. We provide information, advice and support to individuals, and work with community groups and voluntary organisations and partners to improve health and wellbeing.
Our vision Volunteering, community involvement and action lead to connected and resilient communities, where people are treated fairly, have good health and have the resources they need.

Achievements and performance April 2019 to March 2020 Supporting community and voluntary organisations Interlink RCT has been fortunate to work with hundreds of unique volunteers and community and voluntary organisations over the year. Their contribution to communities is invaluable and cannot be measured. We thank each and every one of them for their incredible commitment and support. The Community Advice Team were busy in the community dealing with over 1,000 enquiries from community and voluntary organisations. The variety of support provided by our
team is huge as new and existing members respond to community need, and require assistance in areas such as setting up new groups and legal structures, business and strategic planning, connecting and working with partners and funding. The Team are incredibly privileged to work alongside exceptional community and voluntary organisations providing vital activities, facilities and services throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf. It was a bumper year for fundraising with 148 successful applications, enabling Interlink RCT to help raise nearly £4m in grants for community and voluntary organisations. This means vital local groups, activities, facilities and services have been secured, such as young people’s school counselling services provided in schools throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf by Eye to Eye. Key funders include Pen Y Cymoedd Wind Farm CIC, The Moondance Foundation, the Big Lottery, Comic Relief and the Welsh Government’s Integrated Care Fund.
6 The year saw over £500,000 in grants awarded directly by Interlink RCT through grants schemes that we manage. This has resulted in incredible community projects, including children and young people and older people’s projects funded through the Integrated Care Fund, our own Interlink RCT Development Fund, Welsh Government’s ‘Gwirvol’ grants to support young people to volunteer, and our Sydney Albert Fund to support children, young people and families. We supported over 380 volunteers during the year, including assisting young people through the Gwirvol Youth Grants Young People’s Volunteering Scheme. Interlink RCT received an original grant of over £6k and successfully applied for an additional £30k grant that encouraged over 170 young people to volunteer in projects in their local community.
Interlink RCT was also pleased to continue to be involved as grant recipient body for the Invest Local programme, employing a Community Development worker to support the Penywaun Invest Local Group to address the priorities identified by the local community. Interlink RCT worked in partnership with Pen Y Cymoedd Windfarm Community Fund CIC to support community and voluntary groups to apply to the fund, working across the fund area with Neath Port Talbot County Voluntary Service.
Events and networks We held a wide range of successful network events and networks including the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Social Value Forum, the Cwm Taf Mental Health Forum, the RCT Community Hwb Steering Group and
7 a green social prescribing event. One event worth highlighting includes the regional ‘Coproduction, Collaboration and Commissioning’ event held in May 2019 with Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership Board which brought a range of partners together to help transform health and social care. The event we were most proud of was our third sector conference and AGM ‘Citizen Powered Communities’ in November 2019, which focused on how Interlink RCT can work with members and partners to ensure people and communities are fully involved in deciding and taking action on what matters in RCT.
Developing skills through training The Interlink Training Programme continued to deliver a high number of high quality training opportunities over the year with 11 courses with 102 participants during 2019/2020. Courses included Safeguarding, Essential Training for Trustees, Accounts for the Non-Accountant, First Aid, Writing Better Bids and Impact Training. The percentage reporting improved understanding was 96%; confidence was 86% and knowledge was 98%.

Plans for future periods
5. To promote the impact of the community and voluntary sector
The investment in IT and remote working during 2018/2019 meant we were well placed to reconfigure all our services to address the needs Interlink RCT will continue to focus on of the community and work with building community resilience, working partners during COVID-19. Interlink with local community and voluntary RCT will be working with our members, groups to improve health and including the many new COVID-19 wellbeing by addressing what matters support groups, local churches and to local people and communities. other groups to support people and communities through COVID-19 in 2020-2021.

Influence: Pontypridd Foodbank In Spring 2019, the foodbank became increasingly concerned about a 45% increase in demand for their services compared to the previous year. It meant that two churches storing and collecting for them would struggle to accommodate the foodbank in future. They had an urgent need for a facility fit for purpose, and the manager wanted to explore creating a dedicated venue using a pantry model including a kitchen and a wider range of affordable produce. The foodbank didn’t know who to talk to, what to ask, how to make their case, and how to go about securing their new space. We suggested an initial meeting of those working on food poverty in the Pontypridd area to explore how different organisations could work more closely to address the issue. As part of the South Wales Food Poverty Alliance, we requested local data from Oxfam Cymru to help strengthen the foodbank’s data and focus minds on the food poverty crises. The first food summit took place on 3rd July 2019. There were several
outcomes, which included that Interlink would support the foodbank to draft an outline proposal requesting support. Pontypridd Town Council agreed to look at the foodbank’s financial and other support needs, and Newydd was to consider making space available for the ‘Hapi Project’ in Rhydefelin. After the summit, the foodbank’s and Oxfam’s figures were circulated among senior politicians at all levels of government in Wales. Shortly after, negotiations started to make Rhiwgarn infants school in Trebanog a dedicated logistics and distribution hub for two areas. Interlink RCT supported both Pontypridd and Taf Ely foodbanks in the negotiations.
10
Update: In March 2020 Pontypridd was hit by flooding and shortly afterwards went into lockdown due to COVID-19. We continued to support Pontypridd Foodbank. Interlink RCT helped to fund their running costs, and the running costs of Travol who agreed to deliver food packages in lieu of volunteers. Pontypridd Town Council offered the foodbank their fleet of vehicles and staff team to pick up food supplied from local supermarkets. Also Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council ran an emergency food hub. Interlink RCT and Pontypridd Town Council will be working together to submit a bid to the Big Lottery People
and Places programme. It will be to develop the capacity of the foodbank and develop plans for the pantry.
11
Volunteering: Cynon Valley Organic Adventures (CVOA) Before CVOA, locals just medicated health problems. There was nowhere nearby to focus on lifestyle changes in order to prevent issues and strengthen immune systems. In light of this, there was a need for a place to improve wellbeing and build resilience through interaction with nature. The CVOA team leased a plot of land on the outskirts of Abercynon, and their community garden has helped many volunteers. Consider “S”. His mother said that due to his autism it would be unlikely that he’d turn up let alone do any work. Except he did turn up. Week after week, he quietly came to the shed to put on his wellies and he worked hard on the plot from the beginning to end. Nothing has been too much trouble for him, and nothing fazes him. He has achieved everything he has set his mind to. S has gone on to
start college and enrol in driving lessons, but he still comes to tend the community garden. With his involvement, both he and the garden have flourished. Weather conditions have been particularly challenging for the CVOA group. It’s taken real commitment to brave the elements, but a new garden shed and café should provide protection. Indeed thanks to funding, they have developed practical support for the community, the foodbank, community training programmes, their café, and volunteering opportunities. Interlink RCT are among in the funders who have made these projects and CVOA possible. Usually, CVOA finds out about grants through Interlink RCT emails. The group has received practical support when needed, and taken the training available to make the community project happen. Supporting groups have brought opportunities to CVOA, enabling them to grow and become sustainable.
12
Volunteering: Cynon Valley Trust Museum The Cynon Valley Trust Museum (CVTM) needed to widen their volunteer pool. This was due to various reasons including several volunteers moving on, and after reviewing their volunteering policy, they realised they could use volunteering to engage the community. Interlink RCT’s Volunteering Officer met with the Trust and invited them to join the Managing Volunteers Network in Cwm Taf. Having joined the network, they hosted one of its meetings, and it gave them a wider understanding of the voluntary and community sector in RCT. Consequently they made a conscious effort to recruit volunteers from a
range of referral organisations. This included Interlink RCT, the Jobcentre, Communities for Work and others. They ran a social media campaign using relevant local Facebook groups, which recruited volunteers and visitors. CVTM focused on outcomes for the volunteers themselves rather than themselves as an organisation. The number of their volunteers swelled to 65, which included 45 regular volunteers. This made a big difference and meant that each shift could be covered by four volunteers, with no gaps in their rotas. The work diversified their volunteer base which became a better representation of their local population. Also we have been regularly booking their rooms as when doing training or funding events. This helps the organisation to be financially sustainable.
13 was given networking opportunities, and through Interlink RCT, they learnt from the Lee Gardens Pool project in Penrhiwceiber. The action group became a registered charity in October 2019. Their
Governance: Gelligaled Park Community Action Group The group had an initial meeting with us to find out what support we could give them to progress their project. They wanted to create a MUlti-purpose Games Area (MUGA), and to do so, they needed to raise £55k. The community advice team member who met with them established in the first meeting that the group members had all the skills, attitudes, beliefs and values needed to make their project a success. They were given support on good governance, business planning and policy development. Further, they received advice on how to run a sponsored fundraising event, and ideas of organisations to approach for funding for the MUGA. The group
members made a sponsored 15 mile walk from Ystrad Rugby Club to Pontypridd and back to raise funds for their activities and awareness of their project. The Chair of Gelligaled Park Community Action Group said,
“Meriel’s support has been invaluable. She has kept the group focused and on track with our objectives.” Now, they intend to complete their business plan, make further community consultation, and apply for funding to build the MUGA.

Funding: Rhondda Lawn Tennis Club CIO
The secretary of Rhondda Lawn Tennis Club contacted Interlink RCT to discuss their clubhouse’s needs. They needed to modernise the club house, as well as improve several of the tennis courts’ surfaces and repair floodlights. There was a need to confirm the lease agreement with the council for the courts too. Also they wanted to employ a coach to visit local schools to encourage children to play lawn tennis and build a practice wall for them. The community advice team member in contact identified two key requirements. These were to make them incorporated and to develop their business plan. Incorporation gave the club committee protection above public liability insurance, and with it, they stood a better chance of accessing the kind of funding their projects needed. The coordinator referred the club to the Cranfield Trust for help with business planning.
Also, the club became Interlink RCT members. This gave them regular invitations, information, advice and support to help their organisation strengthen its knowledge and understanding of the voluntary sector, while making progress on their goals. They joined our email network ‘Supporting People in the Rhondda and Cynon Valleys’. This allowed them to advertise to, connect with and support other local groups. John Denton, Treasurer of Rhondda Lawn Tennis Club, said,
“Without Meriel’s help we would probably have failed to achieve Charity Incorporated Organisation status. Her indepth knowledge of what was required, guidance as to where to look for information and advice, together with her explanations of the application process were crucial to our successful application.” Pen-y-Cymoedd Wind Farm Fund have provided £3,850 in funding to upgrade the floodlights, and £10k has also been sourced through the Welsh Church Act fund.

operative Centre and helping them with a business plan. When ready, they asked us to identify funding sources, and several big, key funders were suggested for them to approach. A coordinator met with them several times to talk them through the application process while giving feedback, and Interlink RCT helped them through unexpected delays with a funder. They secured funding with the Community Facilities Programme, and also £237k from the National Lottery Community Fund. Karen Taylor, Trustee, said,
RCTCBC decided to move their library from the building where this nursery group met. The decision left Clych Meithrin Seren Fach either having to close or take over the whole building in an ‘asset transfer’. Consequently, they approached Interlink RCT to explore what they would need to do to take on a whole site. This meant reviewing their governance, strengthening their governance document, engaging the local community, and developing a business plan before they could apply for grants. The nursery group aimed to extend and renovate their existing childcare facility to provide a modern Welsh medium childcare and community provision. Interlink RCT supported them through the whole process of taking over the building. This included meeting with trustees to talk about their governance, directing them to further support from the Wales Co-
“This will have such a positive impact for so many families, children and community groups across the Cynon Valley. We now look forward to developing our much needed services.”

Influence: climate change Friends of the Earth Pontypridd (FoEP) were disappointed by RCTCBC’s statement on how they planned to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. For them, it focussed on what they could do internally rather than what they could do as elected leaders for the county. So, the group started discussions with others like Interlink RCT. They wanted a community response showing that locals wanted more action on climate change and to be part of the solution. The main challenge was how they could reach out beyond Pontypridd and across RCT. They needed to engage people, and feed their findings back to the local authority. Interlink suggested holding an event, and collating attendees’ thoughts into a
response to RCTCBC. We agreed to facilitate an engagement event which Pontypridd Town Council hosted. Interlink RCT agreed a date, and promoted the event to our members. It was attended by 34 people, and gained coverage in Wales Online. Due to the event, FoEP gained a much wider range of views and insights from a broader range of community in a wider area. They drew together the feedback, and submitted a response to the local authority. As a result, FoEP were invited to form a new climate change steering group set up by RCTCBC. Interlink RCT supported them to attend the steering group, and FoEP have attended several meetings. FoEP have contributed to framing the local authority’s future plans on climate action, as well as how they will engage the community. They entered into discussions with the local assembly member and MP to hold a climate summit for the area.

Health and wellbeing support Community and voluntary sector involvement in health and wellbeing increased considerably this year with many new services and projects delivered successfully, working closely with the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership Board (CTMRPB) on transformation and supporting our members to access funding through the Integrated Care Fund (ICF). Community coordination We were delighted be able to continue to support older people and prevent social isolation and loneliness by connecting people to groups, services and activities in their local area. Interlink worked with Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil (VAMT) to further develop the community coordinator service to consist of four locally based coordinators across Cwm Taf.
Befriending services There was further development of befriending services across Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil. This allowed for one to one support at home, while supporting groups and activities in the community. It was made possible with ICF funding of £150,000. Community Capacity Grant Scheme We were able to provide small and micro grants on behalf of the CTMRPB, with 20 projects covering older people, carers, children with complex needs and learning disabilities, made possible with £60,000 secured through the Integrated Care Fund. Grants for older people A range of projects to support older people and tackle loneliness and isolation included four organisations delivering larger projects through a medium sized grant and over 26 projects receiving small grants as a result of receiving £100,000 from the Integrated Care Fund.
18 Grants for children and young people £100,000 was secured from the Integrated Care Fund to support a range of ground breaking projects to address the emotional and mental wellbeing of children and young people, with two organisations receiving a medium sized grant and a further six receiving a smaller grant. Dementia Grant Scheme 10 projects were helped to provide essential accessible services and activities to people living with dementia and their carers through £45,000 from the Integrated Care Fund. A further £6,000 enabled Interlink RCT and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil to facilitate a Dementia Forum for community and voluntary organisations delivering services for people living with dementia and their carers. The Forum also secured a further £12,000 to produce a film to showcase the work of the sector and the impact it has for people living with dementia. Additionally the money funded a dementia conference.
Carers’ network Interlink and VAMT facilitated a Carers’ Network of community and voluntary organisations providing services to carers through a £6,000 ICF grant. Wellbeing coordinators Interlink RCT was able to employ seven wellbeing coordinators to improve people’s wellbeing, supporting people with social, emotional and practical support, working with community and voluntary organisations across RCT through funding from the Transformation Fund. BeActive Interlink has worked closely with a range of local partners including Rhondda Housing Authority to deliver an action research programme under the Welsh Government’s Healthy and Active Programme. This three year programme provides a wide range of outdoor activities to improve people’s emotional, social and physical wellbeing.

Wellbeing: Mr X Mr X saw a Taff Ely wellbeing coordinator in his local Jobcentre. He had initially been referred as he was caring for his wife, who had multiple physical health issues. Jobcentre staff felt that Mr X was isolated and could benefit from support with his mental health. During the consultation, Mr X disclosed that he was the victim of childhood sexual abuse. He had only ever told this to two people, with the other being his wife. Also, he had suffered numerous family bereavements in the last five years and felt that he hadn’t grieved properly, which was affecting him. He wanted to find some local support and social groups to help with this. The wellbeing coordinator referred Mr X to Rowan Tree Cancer Care in Mountain Ash, who offer 12 weeks of free bereavement counselling. Mr X had never been able to access free counselling previously and was really keen to try it. Also the coordinator referred Mr X to the RCT Carer’s Support Project, which means he can access local support groups and trips whenever he needs a break from
caring responsibilities. Finally, the coordinator signposted Mr X and his wife to local sight loss support groups and helplines. This was because Mrs X was gradually losing her sight, and they were both struggling with this change. Two months after initially seeing the wellbeing coordinator, Mr X fed back,
“I wanted you to know how important you are in how I’m feeling now…I feel I have grieved now and I’m much more in control of my feelings. I can think of my brother with a smile on my face now. I could not have been in safer hands the minute I walked into your office. It’s restored my faith in people and I’ve been telling everyone about the service.” “My attitude to life is different now, I’m on top of the hole rather than at the bottom. I will be forever grateful and if there’s one person in my life I will remember who has helped me, it will be you”.
21
Community: Mrs P A council occupational therapist referred Mrs P to a community coordinator to deal with her isolation. In a long phone interview, it became clear that Mrs P had very swollen feet which saw her only able to wear slippers or walk barefoot. This would prevent her visiting groups in the community. For instance, to deal with her lymphedema and arthritis she wanted to visit the Lyndsey Leg Club, but couldn’t. Mrs P had ordered extra wide fit shoes online before, yet now, nothing was suitable. She noted a neighbour had to collect shopping for her, as the last time she left the house her slippers were wet through due to heavy rain. The coordinator referred Mrs P to the British Red Cross project ‘positive steps’. Also the coordinator explained the situation to the British Red Cross, and she contacted other health
professionals as well as the podiatry clinic. The latter provided suitable online and local mobility shops that specialised in the correct footwear. The Positive Steps Team planned to take her to have her feet measured and to purchase shoes. When the coordinator rang Mrs P for an update, she started to cry and said,
“I can’t believe you have gone out of your way to find someone to help me buy shoes.” The coordinator explained that the barriers we see daily are usually transport, poor mobility or mental health. If someone doesn’t have a pair of shoes to engage in a group, coordinators would try their best to solve the issue, and the plan implemented with Positive Steps gave her a new lease of life.
22
Wellbeing: Mrs V and Mrs L In states of distress, both Mrs V and Mrs L had been referred to a wellbeing coordinator. Both felt lonely and isolated, without friends or a social support network. In particular, Mrs V had anxiety and depression, and Mrs L had difficult personal circumstances with low overall wellbeing. The coordinator referred both to CVOA’s Ladies Sheds Project. Also she referred them to a free five week course called ‘All About Me’ which helps people with issues like stress, anxiety and poor diet.
