Institute of Welsh Affairs Trustees, Report Chair's Report My first report as Chair of the IWA Board of Trustees l&gt year was ￿Titten al a challenging time for people and organisations across the world. We were still navigating the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle EasL the cost-of-living crisis and the climate emergency - and sadly. this year, not much has changed-. many have been faced with even more uncertainty with conflicts still looming large, a turbulent change in leadership across the Atlantic, and ever-increasing extreme climate events. We also saw a Sl￿1f1¢ant General Electi(m in July 2024 with a victory for UK Labour. This outcome was in contrast to a Welsh Labour Government which saw three First Ministers in just five months. Following this unsettled and internally contentious lime for the paty, Wales now has its f]rst female leader, who vows to run a government which delivers better short-tenn outcomes for our economy, transport and health services - and leading the party into the next Senedd elections in May 2026, under a new more proportional system. The year ending March 2025 was our r￿st full year under a new leadership - both at Board and executive level, and we are proud to have success￿11Y continued to bring an independent voice to Wales, most importhnt policy debates. Once again, we were able to ¢onvene important conversations and bring together partners and members to shape policy and conceive pmgressive, actionable ideas to address the long-tenn issues king Wales: we conducted in￿epth research into how mission4Jriven government could work in Wales" we worked in partnership with the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales on a number of projects including river health and the wellbeing e¢onomy* and we delivered policy events with Oxfarn Cymru. Carnegie UK and Wales & West Utilities. We appeared in front of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee to discuss renewable energy, and in the Welsh Parliament to contribute to the Senedd standards and refonn discussion. We continue to be committed to ensuring that the IWA is an inclusive, open and welcoming space for everyone. This year, we are proud to have been able to offer paid commissions to new and emerging Welsh V￿lterS and freelancers, expanding the reach and readership of the welsh agenda. Moreover, with invaluable support from our members, we launched our new strategy for 2024-2028. The strategy provides a clear direction and framework for the IWA as we near our fifth decade. We will remain focused on advocating for the development of a successful, green and fair economy, and a healthy, confjdent and inclusive democrncy for Wales by convening open and infoTm¢d debates, challenging power and creating new and ambitious policy ide&s. With just over twelve months, at the time of writing, until the Senedd elections in 2026, we will continue to work on ensuring the reliability and accuracy of public claims, and improving public, media and citizens, understanding of and engagement with our democrati¢ processes. On a practical note, I would like to express our gratitude to our outgoing tnjstees Sarah Prescott, Shereen Williams, Leena Farhal and Auriol Miller for their valued contributions to the Board. l also welcome our three new appointmenls Gwendolyn Slerk, Shayoni Lynn and Lauren McEvatt and I look forward to working with them over the coming years. On behalf of all our trustees, I would like to thank the IWA staff team for their hard work in what is still a precarious national and global contexl. l also thank all OUT members and partners for their continuous supporL and we look forward to welcoming many more of yow &8 we continue to work together and strive for better democratic and economic outcornes for everyone in Wales.

We published an anthology consisting of a series of articles on imagining Wales in 2100 in collaboration with the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales. The wide-ranging collection of pieces and essays examined key challenges to Wales and its people through a fvtt￿es lens, including infrastructLwe, access to nature and prisons, amongst many others. Apart from our wellbeing economy repo¢ we produced two more internal policy reports for the Future Generalions Commissioner for Wales. The projects, on river health and the adoption of the Act by public bodies, fed directly into the Future Generations Commissioner's 2025 report. New projects in development We will continue to deliver work related to the constitutional future of Wales, part of our poli¢y project fimded by the Legal Education Foundation until March 2026. This will include an analysis and scwtiny of manifestos and caMpai￿S in the ruT] up to the 2026 Senedd elections. We will develop a policy manifesto in collaboration with Oxfam Cymw looking at the wellbeing economy in Wales, setting out priorities for the next Welsh Government. We will continue to seek funding to support our economy, media and democracy policy work. Membership Events This year, we held a hybrid AGM with members invited to join us online, and our Board of Tn￿leeS rnet in person.

Pembrokeshire Herald, Wales 247, The Conversation, Deeside.com) Plans for future periods Strategy Following in￿ePth conversations with the JWA team, Board of Trustees, external stakeholders and our members, we officially launched our revised strategy for 2024-2028 at our 2024 AGM. The strategy sets out the themes for our work and operational priorities over the next 4 y¢wB, providing a clear direction for the IWA, and a framework within which existing commitments can be delivered and new activities pursued and started. By 2028, we will aim to become the leading independent and non-partisan thought-leader in public life in Wales, sustainably funded, bilingual and with strong relationships across the publi¢, private, and third sectors, trade unions, academic and community paTth¢rs, and with an authoritative track record of influence in our priority areas of policy inlerest: Wales, economy and democracy. Our core focus will continue to be on our three-fold role.. convene across boundaries, Challenge power and create new ideas. We will provide open, infornled and welcoming spaces for people to exchange ideas and contribute to high quality public debate. support and ern￿Wer a wider and more diverse group of people to understand how Wales is governed and to challenge and hold governments and decision makers to account. and create new progressive and ambitious ideas, and campaign to secure commitment to implemenling th￿n, so that together we can develop a successful. green and fair economy, and a healthy confident and inclusive democracy. Page 7

Institute of Welsh Affairs Tn￿tee8, Report Our new strategy will not seek to revolutionise our worl but as an evolution of our focus, taking inlo account significant changes, challenges and opportunities in our internal and external contexts, both cU￿t and future, at a Wales, UK and global level. We will continue to play a key role in advocating for more systematic and effective citizen engagement in policy making and delivery, greater awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of the current devolution settlemenl and education on the alternatives and their implications. In the lead up to the Senedd 2026 election, we will play an active role in scNtinising and influencing parties, manifeslos, and communicating to the public what these Commitrnents mean for the people of Wales. At an organisational level, we will aim to secure the long-tern] fmancial stability and sustainability of the IWA, and cement our position &s a progressive, influential voice in Wales, public life. We will continue our journey towards becoming a nel zero organisation and will make further improvements to our ability to reach new audiences, including implementing our ambition to be a bilingual organisation. Public benefit In preparing this report the trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Cornmission's guidance on the rewrting of public benefit. We intend that the totality of our activity should assist in the strengthening of civil society in Wales by improving the flow of quality inforniation on public policy into the public domain and by bringing together interested parties in research groups, seminars and conferences to advance debate, thereby developing the policy community and extending its reach into the wider public. The way in which this has been achieved over th¢ past year is detailed below. The trnstees confirni that Ihey have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 10 have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. FINANCIAL REVIEW Finaneial position The Board prepares budgets and cash flow forecasts for the forthcoming financial year and continually monitors the amount of reserves available. In FY2025, we: Su¢¢essfully navigated & leadership transition process. Launched our 2024-2028 strdtegy at our 2024 Annual General Meeting. Reduced our team due to the completion of a number of fixed-terni policy projects and an uncertain funding context. Exceeded our events and project income targets, but saw a drop in our rnembership due to challenging financial circumstances. Further strengthened our relationships with stakeholder4 and delivered a number of success￿] income-generating events and partnerships. Page 8

Institute of Welsh Affairs Trustees, Report Principal funding sourees The IWA receive5 it5 income from three main sources of funding: membership fees and donations, self-generated income, and external trusts, foundations and other institutions for project work. In FY2025, membership fee5 and donations accounted for 47.30/0 of receipts, with self-generated income from events, training and con5ultan¢y totalling 22.￿/0. Short- to medium-terni grant funding totalled 29.20/0 of our income. In FY2025, we received fimding from the Books Council of Wales and the Legal Education Foundation. We also re¢eived short-tern) project funding from partners including Oxfam Cymru and the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales. We are grateful to our funders for their support. Policy project funding was £59,124 in FY2025. While our budget for FY2025 anticipated a year-end deficit of £25,688, we finished the year with a deficit of £13,876. Reserves policy The Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to its operation. At the end of FY24 and beginning of FY25, a number of our funded PToje¢ts came to an end. Our 2-year Medka and Democracy project, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable TWSL was completed in January 2024 and our Core funding from the Friends Provident Foundation ended in June 2024 after a 2-year terni. The end of the above funding streams led to a fresh review of our reserves policy to acknowledge the reduction in staffing levels and Cost b&8e. The Board of Trustees approved a revised reserve policy requirement of £50,000 al the May 2024 Board meeting (previous policy level was £63,0(X)). This new policy became effective 20 July 2024. As at the balance sheet date, the organisation had free reseryes of £162,751 (2024: £99,645). Like rnany small charities, we continue to work towards achieving a sustainable financial model that includes a variety of short- and medtum-tenn funding from diverse sources, as well &8 core fimding. Over the coming months. we will focus our work on bidding for future project work, including bids to the Nuffield Foundation, the Friends Provident Foundation and The Joseph Rowntree Reforni Trust, as well as diversifying our income streams with an increased offer for delivery of our charitable activities.

Although these ¢onversalions have not progressed yet, they have led to a number of shorter tern) funding streams, whith have been particularly benefi¢ial for our FY25 cashflow. Due to a challenging fmancial contexl, we have had to focus on membership retention, rather than groMTth. Despite a drop in our membership income, our retention rate remained relatively high at 84% (compared with 87 % in FY24). We delivered a series of outputs ahead of, and following the 2024 UK General Eledion. Our Through a Welsh Lens series scrutinised key Welsh policy issues at a UK level. We provided a platfonn for major parties t() respond to a set of challenges we presented. We also analysed and scrutinised policy proposals put forward by each party. We reviewed our reserves policy following staffmg and funding changes throughout the year. The Trustees agreed a revised reserves policy of £50,000, which came into effect in July 2024. Continue to explore long-terni sustainable funding models for the organisation. Continue to retain and grow our membership by creating a valufrdriven offer for young members and Fellows.

Such income is only defe￿ed when the donor specifies il must be used in future accounting periods or the donor bas imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditiona] entitlement. Deferred Income Deferred income represents amounts received for fu￿re periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received.

Income is deferred when the arnounts received are in advance of the perfonnance of the service or evenl to which they relate. Eip¢ndltsre Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be rneasured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they bave been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
