Folli)wing our award from the Welsh Govornment's, Healthy Working Wales Commendation event, for 'Besl Response lo Clients and the Community,, we continued lo expand 'lnsighl' and durtng 2023-2024 we further increased the offer of in-person activities and opportunities through the 'Events' sects'on of the app. This not only served lo inuease oppoilunili8s for those individual$ we supported directly, bul also lo offer free acl1711eS lo new indivKluals from aeross the UK. This saw the number of members of 'lnsighl' increase to approaching 2000 people from the Learning Disability and Neurodivergent communities. We also continued our mission lo increase Digital Inclusion anol the knowledge and skills of both those we support and the wder community. We conlinued gifting free devices where required, lo ensure we gol everyone we supported directly on board and accessing our expanding Digital Offer. We also continued the expansion and training indivvjual members of 'lnsighl' lo run sessions of their own, and with a self.named Group on 'ln5ight' known as Ihe'Peer Led Team. who run around half of all live events on the App, 2023-2024 was also the final year of our Supported Livlng Contract in the Rhondda Cynon Taf IRCTI. and we commenced a Tender Pr¢xes$ lo establish who the new provkgers would be early in the year. We are happy lo be ab to say that we secured a new 1Ve-year conlra¢l in November of 2023 with the process having taken almost len months lo complete. As parl of this conlrael wa will further develop shared opportunities with Ihe other 5ucc£ssful providers and also drive forward new technologal approaches lo maximise indepenLlence and expand digiL81 inclusion. Our work on our 'lnsighl' app bolh undertines this and offers further opportunity to posilivety impact the Learning Disability and Neurodivergent communitie$.

We worked closely wlh these councils lo develop new Supported Living Setvices arKJ other provisions. harnessing new and emefging technologie$ lo enable and expond indivhyual's independen¢e in previously unachievable ways. 11 is the r¢spon8ibilily of these three lo¢al authorities lo ensure the Supported Living ServCes that we manage are both provided for and meet the qUireMentS of the contract arrangements agreed wlh Innovate Trust in 2019, 2013 & 20211 respectively.

We continued lo contain our geographical spread lo a thnty mile radius of our head office ensuring support was never loo lar away.

We continued lo expand our knowledge of freely available consumer technologies in order lo explore the increasing possibilities of the Internel of Things, which could lead lo individua15 we support attaining greater levels of independen in the future. We also sel up specific partnerships wlh a number of local authority departments and a plethora of organisalions in W81es and the UK. In addition, we ¥%ere commissioned lo assist with several Smart Hguse proje¢t developments in several Welsh Local authority areas.

Innovate Trust Ltd {Registered number: 024939041 Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 On a number of occasions, we successfully applied for new funding streams to support and potentially expand our services,. these funds were due in both 2023-2024 & 2024-2025. We do recognise that in these testing times these funds have become and are likely to become more competitive over the coming years. In particular, 2023-2024, saw us receive lower settlements from our fvnders than in previous years, and lo rectify this position, we sel aside funds in 2023-2024 to address our increasing deficit, to restructure our staffing, and lo ensure an improving p051tion in 2024-2025.we have also continued to invèst a considerabl8 amount of lime and resources in the development of new service provision. We do expect to reap the b8nefits of this work in the forthcoming year with the development of, true to our name, both new and innovative projects and seNices. Throughout these processes we believe we have continued to maintain our reputslion as a local provider. but with an increasing nabonal influen, of high quality and consistent support, with a friendly f681 and an approachable non-hierarchical organisational culture, We have, as always, been impressed with the way our staff rose to the challenges of th8 year together with the intuition and commitment they have shown under exceptionally difficult circumstances. And again, we have continued to be impressed by the hard work and dedication of all our staff throughout the year. We know how committed they are, and I would like to take this opportunity lo thank them all both personally and on behalf of the whole Board of Trustees. The Board and staff of Innovate Trust are fully committed to development and diversification and although thè next year will undoubtedly be extremely challenging, we believe this is a challenge lo which we are èqual. We continue lo review our investment strategy looking at short, medium and long temi approaches lo ensure best use is made of the growing asset base. The new Charity Commission regulations on investment have enabled the Board of Management to invest in a wide range of investment vehicles, including those that provide caprtal growih rather than income, such as the Stock Market. This will enable them to obtain better returns on investments whilst continuing to minimise risk. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the Charity has the power lo make any investment bul only after obtaining advice from a financial èxpert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification. Flnanclal revlow Inve8tment power8 An inve5tmenl strategy will be dgveloped in the medium lo long term to ensure best use is made of the growing asset base. The new Charity Commission regulations on investment will enabl8 the Board of Management lo invest in a wide range of investment vehicles, including those that provide capital growth ralh&r than income. such És the Stock Market. This will enable them to obtain better returns on investments whilst continuing to minimise risk. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the Charity has the power lo make any Investment bul only after obtaining advice from a financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversifieation. Re8erv•8 polley The charitls policy is lo secure a 60 day liquid reserve lo covèr th6 daily cash-flow requirements and a fvrther 120 day reserve to cover the medium term liabilities should the charity lose any part of their contract work. The majority of the local authority funding is used lo support servicè users and is restricted on geographical grounds. The ¢urrenl 18v61 of free reserves aftèr excluding the amount invested in unrestricted fixed asset5, designal8d funds and restricted funds amounted lo £1,493,744. The trustees have carried out a full assessment of the risks to the Charity, and have formulated policies for identifying and mariaging risks and are determining the level of general funds that are required to Cover these risks. The level of general funds needs to be al a level which will cover additional staffing costs including redundancy, maternity, long-term sickness and also provide the Charity with Sufficient resource5 to deal with any loss of grant frjnding. 11 has been estimated that the level required equates to six months overheads Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertalntles Innovate Trust, as part of ils system of Corporate Governance carried out a review of all major risks to which the organisalion is exposed, and the systems in place to miligale these risks. All risks were assessed and appropriate action taken if it was assessed that the risk was inappropriately high. The Trustees identified the 8 most important risks to the organisation are, Computer Data Loss, Loss of AccreditationlRegislralion, Abuse of Vulnerable Peoplè. Destruction of Physical Assets, Accident affecting Staff or Service User, Loss of Substantial ContracUGrant Funding. FraudlFinancial Crime. The Trustees have continued lo review, analyse, and discuss, both the existing and future contract commitment risks lo the organisalion. related lo any loss of fvnding andlor increased inflationary pressures. With three long lefm Local Authority Supported Living Contracts making up more than ninety five percent of the organisalion's income, and with IncaseS directly linked lo the Consumer Price Index,. combined wlh the fact that the services provided are deemed as 'essenlial'. The Trustee's do not consider that the organisations current, or future medium-term funding is under any significant risk, that is reasonably foreseeable. Page 4
