As an organisation whiLh now works InCr&￿inglY on a regional basi5 across Carniarthenshire, Ceredigion, and Pembrokeshire, we have secured funding for a number ot- projLcts. Many ol the new projects enabled, are funded howevcr on d short Icrm basis via the UK Gvvcrnmeni led and Local Authority administered, Shared Prosperity l.'und. which has seen countles5 delays locally in its implcmcnlatiorE and award of funding. I"his has impacted on original plans and subtnissions with timelines now being shrunk in response to late awards, and potentially impacting on the volume of tsrgets originally envisaged, as well as rccruilmcnt for sl&tTing lor the projects. Dcspitc thc challcn8cs faL¥d on delivcry limesL&les as a result of local authority delays. wc havc bccn forlunale lo work with partners, including Cwmpas and Pembrokeshire County Council, lo work cnllaboratively on thc SPF fundcd Pcrnbrokcshirc Community AssLts ProjLcL and similarly exclusively on the Pembrakeshirc Comrnunity Led Housing project. Despite scoring 91% in the projecl criteria matrix as assigned by UK Cynvemmcnt and utiliscd by PErnbrokeshir¢ County Council, sadly our Food projecl which built on the success of proven delivery, with plans for expansion co-produced with Communities. was refused by Members and officers within th¢ Council even though it scorcd the third highest of all 30+ submission4 and other5 scoring 1¢5s. which were simpler for councillor5 to understand, were awarded funding, despile not meeting all the criteria within the scoring mechanism.

Our CWBR youth project which has been funded by the Lottery, is scheduled to finish in the late Spring of 2024. and during its two years of funding, has already engaged with over 1,700 young people, 700+ decision makers and youth leaders. Through co-production, facilitation and innovation, the project has worked aoross many communities in Pembrokeshire, to identify how to align existing decision making proces5¢5 With the views and engagement of youn8 adu1¢5, to deliver a meaningful and sustainable discussion. that has clear outcomes. The results and evidence gained has been considerable, and with increasing complementary discussion5 With colleagues in both Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, the aspiration is to now develop a regional CWBR Youth project, that builds and expands on the results of the Pembrokeshire project, to empower, enable, and support many more young adults within their communities. The focus on local food within Pembrokeshire has seen a growth in PLANED'S support available. via the demonstrable impact and sustainability of our two current Frc5h Community Vending Machines within the county, and the expansion into Camiarthcnbhire, having secured further WG funding on the evidence supplied re impact to datc.

Pembrokeshire Local Aclion Network for Enterprise & Development Limited Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 Work on the three year funded Cadarnhad project via the lotlery, continues to gather pace with two members of the team working full time, covering the three counties of Carmarth¢nshir¢, Ceredigion. and Pembrokeshire, with delivery and engagement. Being an official Agored Cymru Awarding Body as well as an Assessment Centre has been a positive step forward for PLANED and the project, in what we can offer and support communities, projects, and participants with. During the time period for this report, we have already worked with colleagues from different sectors and geographies including Milford Youth Matters, The Torch Theatre, Car y Mor. and VC Gallery in Pernbrokeshire. Small World Theatr< and Elemental Adventures in Ceredigion; and Dr Mz, and Parc yr E5gob in Carmarthenshir¢. The project overall continues to be flexible in the development of bespoke, community and person led conlenl, that applies to the needs of those whom the project is working with. and will continue to evolve and develop into 2024-25. Overall, PLANED continues to increase its profile through impact, influence, and innovation, by working in partnership with others locally, regionally and nationally. This includes being invited to speak and contribute to a number or national events and conferences in Cardiff Bay. online meetings & events. and also as a sponsor of national conferences such the Wales Food Conference held in Denbighshire, lo showcase the projects we are l¢ading and co-producing here in Wesi Wales. Having this increased pr¢sence and profile to showcase the work done by the team with partners, is somethin8 we will continue to promote, in Order to demonstrate the actual delivery and innovation that PLANED continues to lead in practice, as opposed to academic de5k¢op exercises which sadly appear to gain funding. in opEx>sition to the actual real time delivery which we, and others, do on a continued day to day basis. FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial Review PLANED has an enviable track record in accessing European and National funding and h&8 a valuable asset base having purchased a small industrial sile some years ago. The charity uses the surplus income from this site to undenvrite match fund its many projects and programmes. Since the ending of European funding, PLANED has been successful in obtaining various Uk based fundin8 from Ixith ¢entral and local government, various lottery funding as well as other grant funding charities to enable it to continue to provide innovative support not only to ils local Pembrokeshire based communily, but is also actively expanding il5 activities into west Carmarthenshire and south Ceredigion, as is evidenced in more detail in the activities section of this rew)rt. The Trustees are pleased to report that both our restrictrd reserves increased by £409,241 to £627,189 at the year end. and the unrestricted reserves increased by £132,058 to £1,314,238. These reserve5 excludt the staff pension scheme ,here the reserve increased by £419,000 to £1,313.000 at th¢ year end. Tumover has effec¢ively increased during the year to £1,532,464, compared to £1,889,605 for the 18 months in the previous period. However, this includes around £550,000 of grants included this year under the performance method required by the Charity SORP, which are lo fund projects which will tak¢ place over a number of future periods. If these grants had not b¢en included. turnover would have decreased. However, costs have also decreased to £864,060 after deducting the partner payments accrued of £186,683 in respect of the SPF - Community Asset transfer grant from Pembroke5hir¢ CC. This follows consistent review and prudence acr055 multiple areas of the organisation. After the year end the trustees instruuted Brunton Knowles Limited to value the property as at 3 1st March 2024. The revaluation resulted in a gain on the investment property of £29,424 and a gain on the freehold property of £30,154. Page 4

Pembrokeshire Local Action Network for Enterprise & Development Limited Report ofihe Trustees for the Year Ended 31 Mareh 2024 FINANCIAL KEVlkW ReserYe5 policy The t￿SteeS of Pl.ANF.D are of the opinion that they have adequate financial rescrvcs to mcct any financial rcquirctncnts should thc company bc wound up, supportcd by thL company's property portfolio. The Trustees continue to monitor fin8nci&I perfonnance genera*d through both grants obtained and the property portfolio, to enablc a sufficicnt reservcs policy that equatcs to a valuo of three months of salaries expenditure. Unr¢5tricted free reserves at the year end amounted to £297.532, being the net current assets excluding funds designated for specific and restricted purposes. The free reserves do not include freehold or investment property. Unrestricted free reserves at the year end equate to over 7 monlhs of salaries expenditure which exceed5 the policy requirement. Despite the ongoing financial challenges due to short tenn funding opportunities, the Trustees continue to recognise the ongoing need for adequate free re5erve5, realis¢d through sound management and oversi8ht of available resources. enabling the planning for future provision, and supp)rting the potential deficits in funds for any actLVities on which applicable funding niay not yet be secured. PLANED'S Trustees also are aware of the financial risks of the pension fund and its liabilities, and this is continued to kept under review. However, in the current economic climate and the impact on both staff and communilies, PLANED will continue to promote holding reserves where feasible, in excess of the three months 5alarieg expenditure where possible. Risk Management The Trustees of the Company mect with PLANED'5 Scnior Management to consider and review the Company's firtances and agree action where appmpriate. The Company's activities are also considered in order to identify opportunities available and the risks to which it is exposed. In addition. the Senior Management 15 working With PLANED staff and partner organisations to develop proj¢¢ts which will raise revenue for the long temi suslainabilily of the Company and to ¢xlend the range of services whi¢h ¢an generate regular income. The establishment of comprehensive financial rcporting systems and procedures mitigate against risk and the close liaison between officers and tTUStees ensures, at an early stage that a¢cion is taken where necessary.

Pembrokeshire Local Action Network for Enterprise & Development Limited Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 FUTURE PLANS PLANED has a long history of delivery wilh and for communilies in Pembrokeshire primarily. and in the last 3 year this work has now expanded on to a regional footprint, to include delivery of projects across Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion as well. This extension of work on a regional footprinl will continue to forni the basis of our future work and opporbjnities with communities of both interest and place within West Wa]es. Our current organisational vision document "Empowering Communities" will be reviewed and updated in 2025. and this will be infornied by a Series of ¢onsultation events with our Trustees. staff, partners, and stakeholders, to reflect the current & future demands of communities across West Wales, and how we Can sustain the positive impacts of thosc proje¢ts. We will look to expand our support and delivery around the key growth area of community 855et transfers and the OPFOrtunities for communities to raise funds through Share offers, to take ownership of an increa5in8 numb¢r of assets no longer managed or owned by sL￿ut0ry partner organtsations, as well a5 private owners with community focused buildings & services. Related to the above, is the work on locally led community housing opportunities, which builds on the work C￿￿entlY funded by the Shared Prosperity Fund, to support the creation primarily of CommuniLy Land Trusts. This is an area hich we see continued growth and demand for across West Wales, and with qualified and accredited team members in place within PLANED, we are ideally placed to continue to expand and support those communities who have identified an OPFKYrtLLnity to build or develop community housing for their l(KuI population. Our work supporting the expansion of Micro Enlerprises across the three counties that mirrors the geographic footprint of the Hywel Dd& University Health Board will continue to grow and expand. Working in partnership with ihe three local authorities, CVC'S, and other applicable partners, we will look ai further innovative solutions to support and promote both the micro enterprises themselves, as well as the increased ease of ac¢ess for members of the public, who need and require the support delivered by those Enterprises. Building on the success of the previous lottery funded Pembrokeshire focused, CWBR Youth programme, we will be hoping to secure funding to take the lessons learnt from thi5 Single county focused projecl and expand into a three countkes, regional CWBR Youth project. With support from partner organisations and interested parties across the three Counties, we hope to enable a co-produced, people led ptr)ject that empowers the voices and inputs of young adults within their communities, and ¢nabling ¢los¢r links with local leaders to support Sustainable, local change5. PLANED ¢ontinues to invest in applicable training for its team, and in the fabric and maintenance of its buildings and resources, lo enable the team to have the app1[￿ble equipmenL working environment, and security with which. to deliver projects for communities with confidence, and to enable our communities, clients, and partners, to have confidence in us as a delivery organi5ation, and fa¢ilitalor of tK)sitive change, as we monitor the wider funding environment to secure grants for further project delivery.
