Enviro Ability Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30 June 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Our tenancy at Model Farm continues, and we remain immensely grateful to our landlord, Simon Cutter, for his ongoing support. His generosity has enabled us to expand the range of activities we can offer at the site. Our Bobs Bikes project has continued to grow, with rising local demand for affordable second-hand bicycles leading to increased sales. Following the retirement of our long-standing volunteer who founded the project 10 years ago, we employed a Bicycle Repair Operative for two days a week. He has been mentoring a student who struggles academically, working with him during school holidays to teach essential repair and servicing skills. The aim is for this young person to gain an apprenticeship in the trade when he leaves school later this year. We are also grateful for the use of a showroom at The Wolf Business Park in Ross-on-Wye, where we can work on and display our bicycles.

Our expanded workshop space at Model Farm has allowed Take A Pew to flourish. This year, we partnered with a local church seeking to re-home its pews. Together with our skilled volunteers and service users, we refurbished 22 pews, most of which were purchased by parishioners. Remarkably, two of these pews were sent to Abu Dhabi by someone who had been married in that church, giving our work an unexpected international reach. Following a Planning in Partnership meeting with parents and carers, we identified a need to help people develop vital cooking skills. In response, EnviroAbility launched a monthly cooking project at Ross Community Gardens, with around 13 people taking part each month to learn how to prepare and cook their own meals. This project has been both popular and empowering.

We are pleased to report that we achieved our target of increasing the number of paying users this year. To support this, EnviroAbility has updated its review paperwork to give a more holistic picture of attendees’ lives, ensuring that our support is tailored to their broader needs and goals. Our Service Development Officer continues to expand our connections across the Herefordshire care network. He is working with heads of service and commissioners at the council as part of Herefordshire Activities Together (HAT), co-producing a conference to raise awareness of key issues and develop practical solutions within Social Care. He has also played a key role in informing the council's Learning Disability Strategy through active involvement with the Strategy Subgroup, and continues to work with the Learning Disability Partnership Board to ensure the voices of people with learning disabilities are heard and reflected in future plans. Alongside our valued day opportunities for adults with disabilities, we continue to offer a 1:1 home help service. This includes supporting one individual to develop the skills needed to live independently, and providing morning respite for the parent-carer of another individual, giving them essential time and support.

EnviroAbility remains committed to building inclusive opportunities, supporting independence, and _ finding practical solutions that improve the lives of the people we work with. Grant funding has been obtained from a variety of sources. We are particularly grateful for the local funders who regularly support and particularly those who have recognised that core funding, whilst not very exciting, is absolutely critical to organisations such as ours. We are pleased and thankful to have been chosen as The Catenians Charity of the year for 23-24. The Catenians have been organising fundraising events to raise funds for EnviroAbility. EnviroAbility continues to rely upon the dedication of not only its paid staff but to the dedicated volunteers who give their time and skills. The board never ceases to be impressed by the enthusiasm and generosity of these volunteers who do so much for the people we support. In conclusion, EnviroAbility has succeeded in its mission to provide valued opportunities for disadvantaged people that are visible to the community, whilst at the same time considerably improving its financial performance from last year and setting in place the foundations for further growth.

Reserves policy The trustees will endeavour to maintain reserves at a level that provides cover for six months of overheads, should the charity's income streams be adversely affected.

FUTURE PLANS EnviroAbility will look to continue to increase the number of paying service users which will allow us to continue to widen our range of services and support to those most in need in our community and, at the same time, improve our long-term financial security and sustainability.
