## **Llandaff 50+ Trustees’ Annual Report – 2024-2025** 

Last year, Llandaff 50+ celebrated the completion of the first Five-Year Plan.  We now all move into a new phase of stability and consolidation with 128 members and nine Trustees. 

All of our existing Groups have continued to flourish and we are extremely grateful to our Activity Leaders: Chris, Jan, Diana, Katharine, Eleri and Donna, whose commitment keeps our programmes viable. 

One new venture this year has been the drop-in ‘Chat and Relax’ This is led by Eleri, one of our new Trustees, and has a small but regular group of attendees, including a serious Scrabble Group.  Although the numbers do not meet the usual financial criteria, we have decided to continue with it as an opportunity for new people to ‘drop-in’ and find out about Llandaff 50+. 

After five years of use, our building has required some attention this year.  This has included a new water boiler in the kitchen, and a service and update of our solar heating system. 

We should all be grateful to the Trustees for their continued support.  Lillias French has stepped down, and we thank her for her unfailing work and encouragement since the instigation of Llandaff 50+, particularly with her expertise on ‘Bring and Buys’ – always a good little earner.  Denise Doyle, a regular supporter of the Wednesday Group, has been co-opted onto the Board, to be ratified by members at the 2025 AGM. We are, as ever, extremely grateful to our Executive Officer, Donna, whose diligence keeps Llandaff 50+ and The Pound in a stable position.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S CERTIFICATE 

I have independently examined the Accounts of the Llandaff 50+ Group for the period ended 30 June 2025. 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 2025. The closing bank balances as at 30 June 2025 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.
