CORNELLY DEVELOPMENT TRUST Year ended 31" March 2025 Committee members are encouraged at any time to seek further information on relevant matters from the Chair or Chief Executive Officer. Risk Mana ement The Directors actively review the major risks that the Trust faces on a regular basis and believe that the establishment of a reserve fund combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Directors have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Trust and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the risks. anisational Structure The Trust is organised so that the Directors meet regularly to manage its affairs. Meetings take place six times a year. The Directors delegate day to day running of the Trust and its medium term strategic development to the Chief Executive Officer. Our Staff We believe that our staff are our most valuable asset. We currently employ 4 members of staff who represent the equivalent of 2.4 full time employees across the organisation. We aim to encourage and support them to realise their full potential. Their dedication and commitment to CDT is exceptional. Volunteers CDT is very fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteers who work in various positions across the organisation. 9 new volunteers were recruited throughout the year, and over 200 people have supported the organisation in total during the year. We currently have 11 volunteers working each week for the Trust. Their commitment and support is rewarded with on the job training and work experience, and their contribution to the organisation is greatly valued by the board and staff alike. Covnelly ent Trust

CORNELLY DEVELOPMENTTRUST Year ended 31st March 2025 Achievements and Performance (Based on the requirements of the funders we are working with, and the priorities we agreed with the Chief Executive.) Priority Recruit 24 new volunteers Outcome 13 new volunteers have been recruited across the last twelve months. We have also lost 5 former volunteers to illness, employment elsewhere or to other circumstances. 5t has been a difficult period to recruit volunteers as there seems to be a lack of interest across the board. However, our volunteer teams have contributed over 4800 hours to our work over the year. Consolidate the existing social enterprise and shop, driving sales to encourage growth The team has worked diligently to increase footfall in the shop (Amdanil as well as supportingthe ReFab enterprise to define its core products and develop them to a high standard where they are saleable in the shop and online. Footfall has increased but sales are reduced in Amdani, which can be put down to the fact that our demographic has far less disposable income at the moment. The things that we sell in the shop are not necessarily "everyday" items, and as is the nature of a charity shop, we cannot guarantee that we will have the items that someone is looking for at the point in time. As a result we are not the obvious first choice when they need a new pair of shoes etc. ReFab has developed the skills of the participants and they have defined their product range to 8 specific items that are easy to make, quality can be managed, and the public want to buy.. i.e. aprons, tote bags, book pillows, door stops etc.. We have attempted to tender for opportunities with other organisations that deliver on a national scale, but to date have had no success. Very little feedback has been given but it seems that we are seen as too small an organisation and have too small an area to deliver in. Alternatively our area does not meet the requirements of the larger Contracting with other larger agencies to deliver on their behalf Comelly ent Trust

CORNELLY DEVELOPMENTTRUST st Year ended 31 March 2025 tenders for delivery. We continue to try and obtain contract work though. CDT has delivered Agored Cymru training in various subjects, working with partners in Adult Learning, BAVO, Online Centres and other providers locally. Subjects covered have included Food Hygiene L2, First Aid at work, NVQI in growing skills, LANTRA Strimmer and Brushcutter and PAI PA6 qualifications. Working with the current funding strategy has paid off in terms of grants received. CDT has been successful in obtaining funds from the following organisations over the year 2023/24: Awards 4 All Wales Working with partners to deliver accredited training to our participants Obtaining funding to safeguard the current complement of Staff, and increasing it in response to business demands Building Communities Trust Garfield Weston Heart Research UK Hubbub Community Fridge Mccarthy Stone National Lottery EGIN People's Postcode Lottery Waterloo Foundation WCVA Volunteering Wales Welsh Church Act Fund Unfortunately demand for services also grew over the same period and since the grants were either capital or restricted revenue, they have been used up during the period. Our trustees and staff members are constantly looking at opportunities to support local people. As a result we take feedback and suggestions from members of the public in our shop, Hub and Forum meetings, and then work out what we can deliver and how it can be funded. One such project was Healthy Hearts, funded by Heart Research UK, and entailed bringing groups of people together each week to take part in some physical exercise- i.e. growing vegetables- and learning to cook healthily by substituting certain ingredients for those that would improve blood pressure and heart health. The Trust continues to reflect on its Increasing our offer to the general public Comell ent Trust

CORNELLY DEVELOPMENT TRUST Year ended 31st March 2025 offer to the public and adapt to local changes and needs. Rebranding the organisation to enable us to expand and work in other areas Following extensive consultation Cornelly Development Trust lor the charity shop as it became known) chose a new name that will be used for the public. Amdani was chosen as it is a Welsh word that means"For us" or"About us" and is easy to say and spell. A new website was created, exterior signage and all other branded items that were felt necessary. While the charity is Still officially "Cornelly Development Trust" we applied to the Charity Commission to have Amdani as the public facing name and it was agreed. It has given the organisation a fresh new look and continuity across its d ifferent locations. It also removed the issue of "Cornelly" being in the title when delivering in other areas a5 that seemed to cause some friction with people living there, Amdani is quite generic and can be used wherever the Trust decides to go in future. Maintain a Community Hub with various services including the Credit Union. Public Access Computers, Food Coopi Informal Training Sessions and general community signposting and information. The CDT office is a community hub with a workspace, shop, offices and meeting area. We use the premises to deliver all sorts of general community activities including a regular craft group, job clubs, public access computers, Food Pantry and associated services. The coffee area has been enhanced over the year and now has regular visitors who meet up there on a weekly basis. The bi-monthly forum, funded by Building Communities Trust, under their Community Anchor Development Programme, has been very successful. It brings together local residents, businesses, third sector groLJPS and statutory organisations so that they can share information, discuss issues and network with each other for the benefit of the local area. It has been key to some of our consultation work this year, and meetings are highly anticipated by local residents. Creating a community forum where local residents, businesses, third sector organlsations and statutory bodies can come together to identify and resolve issues that affect them. Cornell ent Tvust

CORNELLY DEVELOPMENTTRUST Year ended 31st March 2025 The Trust has not been able to generate any reserves this year purely down to the adverse funding situation. All monies received from funders have been specific to projects and cannot be used for other purposes. Any money generated through our charitable activities and shop have also been used up in activities and subsidising food or trips etc for local people. The trustees hope to be able to make inroads into raising reserve in the coming year but demand on services remains high while grant funding is extremely limited and very competitive. Income was £210k this year, up from £159k in 2023/4, but with increased operating cost5 and the needs of the service users growing exponentially, the Trust still made a loss of £18k, which was down from a loss of £28k in the previous year. Plans for Future Periods Our immediate priorities for the next year include: Secure funding for additional full time roles in support of the CEO for 3 years Continue to improve the range and profitability of our Social Enterprises to act as a hedge fund against the lack of public and private funding streams that are available Diversify income streams as a firewall against the extremes of the funding climate Increase the membership of the Trust amongst the general population within the area of benefit Public Benefit Statement The Trust has more than 300 people attending its premises each week, from shoppers to people attending activities, and those seeking help and support. A major part of the work done over the last year has been to facilitate cohesion across different elements of the community, and provide support to older, more isolated residents. Working on activities that bring older and younger people together, or those from different social demographics, has been key to improving the feeling of "community" within the area. The team has been responsible for signposting to other services, acting as an advocate for local people who struggle to navigate social housing providers, local authority services and energy providers plus other more specific issues. The Trust has been able to issue food bank vouchers to those who need them as well as offering emergency food parcels. We work with local churches to operate the"Christmas Sparkle" appeal, whereby toys and gifts are donated by the wider public and donated to local families ensuring that they don't miss out at Christmas. The Trust also works to deliver Christmas Food Hampers to those families that we know would miss out. Offering low cost, or no cost, activities for children during school holidays has also been well supported by the community. A varied range of seasonal themed activities has been created and delivered by the staff and volunteers at CDT. Cornell ent Tvust
