The Chair of the PSB, Councillor K O’Neill, provided the Committee with an update in respect of the work of the Board during the 2019-20 Municipal Year.

The Chair reminded Members that the second year has been about continuing and building on the successes of our first year, as well as incorporating and using what we have learned. Members were reminded that the Board is still taking an assets-based approach, meaning that the Board looks at what works well in Cwm Taf, what people are proud of and what it can do to strengthen and further develop these.

Members were told that the work has focused on two key questions:-

·         How are we making a positive difference in our communities; and,

·         Are our mechanisms for delivery right, and are they working.

In respect of the highlights and key achievements in the 2019-20 PSB year, the Chair of the PSB referenced the progress against the Well-being Objectives:-

o   Thriving Communities

Members were told that across both areas, Neighbourhood Networks continue to thrive, and act as a way of the community being involved in the Hub and how they develop. The community coordinator roles carried out by Susan Jones and Louise Clement help to build and strengthen existing networks and improve access to services, and promote the hubs within the area.

Members were reminded about the site visit to the Ferndale Hub and were told that this work has enabled the PSB to work towards some of the ‘Simple Changes’ identified by the Future Generations Commissioner, such as enabling local people to improve unloved spaces; enabling local people to come together in communities to meet and build social networks and maximising the Board’s work with community anchor organisations.

It was emphasised that over the last six months, the Hubs have been instrumental in supporting and coordinating community response.

During the COVID-19 crisis and the UK national lockdown, the RCT Hubs helped with local responses and meeting community needs, particularly the needs of the most vulnerable: coordinating volunteers, arranging and delivering food parcels, picking up shopping and prescriptions, ensuring contact was made with identified individuals – be it a friendly phone call, offering help, advice and understanding, dog walking, posting letters, using the internet.

Members were informed that the Hubs offered and signposted to Information, Advice and Assistance – initially online and through volunteers, including running and directing towards online courses and support for mental and physical well-being. The Hubs opened once it was possible and safe to do so and offered services that people needed, including support with accessing benefits and finding work, which has been particularly important in readiness for the impact of furlough coming to an end. Members were told that ‘The Little Ferns’ nursery has also resumed in Hwb Glynrhedynog.

The Chair of the PSB also reminded Members about the use of the Hubs during Storm Ciara and Dennis and their help with the response to the flooding, and the coordinated response to the summer flooding events in  ...  view the full Cofnodion text for item 21.

The Chair began by extending her thanks to all Members and Officers of the PSB Joint Overview & Scrutiny Committee during the 2019-20 Municipal Year. The Chair noted that unprecedented times have brought changes and different ways of working, particularly in respect of virtual Council meetings.

The Chair reflected on the 2019-20 Municipal Year and the work of the Committee and noted the decision of the Committee to focus on one area: Thriving Communities. The Chair reminded Members of the successful visit to the Ferndale Hub and emphasised the importance of the Hubs in adapting to the needs of our residents and our communities.
