Llandaff 50+
Patrons: Baroness Finlay of Llandaff Matthew Williams, Emeritus Curator of Cardiff Castle
The Trustees’ Annual Report for the Year Ending 30[th] June 2022
Llandaff 50+ was created in 2008 and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 7[th] December 2017, it has a charity number 1176165. The Objects of Llandaff 50+ are:
The promotion of social inclusion, among persons over 50 in Llandaff who are excluded from society as a result of the conditions that arise from old age, by the provision of facilities for their social interaction and recreation and opportunities for volunteering.
Achievements & Performance
2022 has been a momentous and milestone year for Llandaff 50+ and The Pound Project. We have completed the capital funding and building phase, and launched The Pound to public acclaim.
We have consolidated our management structure and successfully piloted a small range of activities, but, also vitally, in 2022 we began to see our Business Plan yielding evidence of the essential long-term selffunding sustainability, which is fundamental to the core of this innovative project.

The Pound project is designed to explore whether, with suitable buildings, older people can and will work together to promote social inclusion and promote well-being amongst their local older population.
This dynamic and unique initiative, has offered individual and community benefit, and now holds the promise of national and international benefit for future generations.
Activities
We have continued to learn how to manage our new building, security, maintenance, eco features etc. We have created a video explaining our future-proofing eco system. We have also consolidated the necessary management structures, taking account of security, health and safety, and collective responsibilities. These will be essential as we build towards 10 Activity Groups benefitting from The Pound on a regular basis.

2022 has been a year of steady transition from focus on the building, to focus on working towards the purposes of The Pound.
These included:
-
Establishing 4 activities: 2 Tai Chi groups, Watercolour Painting, & Wednesday Talks;
-
Preparing and piloting a volunteer team to respond to visitor queries in the Heritage Room;
-
Developing our Heritage and Activity Leaders’ Forum;
-
Creating an A-Z Guide for Members, to ensure good practice.
Over the year, the number of people benefitting has grown to 70 volunteers and 50 participating in weekly activities.
Prior to our formal launch, we undertook a survey across our membership, which confirmed that Llandaff 50+ is achieving the purposes we aspired to and set out in our Business Plan.

Structure, Governance & Management
Trustees are bound by the Constitution of Llandaff 50+; election to the Board is held at the AGM.
The Board, the Finance and Management Committee and advisory groups, and the HALF Leadership Forum have met regularly throughout the year.
2021-22 has also been a very busy period for the Board behind the scenes, further consolidating our management structure planning, as set out in the Management Plan.
As Llandaff 50+ is a self-management organisation, with no paid staff, volunteering is a key factor of our management model, and so volunteering is the lifeblood of Llandaff 50+. We have valued the commitment of 70 volunteers, contributing a total of 5182 volunteer hours needed to address the workload during 2021-22.

Our long-term expectation, when The Pound is fully operational, would be 10 volunteers supporting Management; 10 volunteering as Activity Team Leaders; also 30 volunteering in the Heritage Room, and 20 contributing in hosting and support roles.
We have also successfully maintained our body of enthusiastic Pound Founders and supporters. ( right - Pound Founder launch event, June 2022 )
The Trustees are pleased to able to report that the charity is in a sound state as we move forward. Great credit must go to all who have volunteered their time and their skills.
Looking Forward, Plans for 2023:
The Board is preparing for a Welsh Government visit to review ongoing progress; A careful review of the Business Plan is planned for spring 2023;
We will build our management teams to include the new skills and experience needed for the next steps of our development;

I have independently examined the Accounts of the Llandaff 50+ Group for the period ended 30 June 2022.
I have obtained information and explanations considered necessary for this examination to enable the accounts to be finalised, including Receipts & Payments Accounts and a Balance Sheet as at 30 June 2022. The closing bank balance as at 30 June 2022 has been verified.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my intention which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
