CVW Community Volunteers Wales
Our aim is to ensure no-one in our community is lonely, hungry or frightened.We have a team of around 190 volunteers who offer services such as shopping, prescription collectionand other small errands for people who cannot leave the house to do these things for themselves. SinceMarch 2020 we have supported over 160 people who have contacted us or have been referred to us forassistance.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing resource of £38,131 for the year, resulting in total reserves falling to £34,301 from £72,432 in the prior year. The trustees note that the charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid, which impacts the going concern basis, although no material uncertainties were identified at the time of signing. The charity's reserves policy requires maintaining funds sufficient for three months of core activity, and the current unrestricted reserves of £9,045 are below the implied target given the significant drop in total funds.
