(FORMERLY AMMANFORD FOODBANK)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the period ended 31 March 2025.
The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 14 April 2021 and commenced operating immediately. Before 14 April 2021, the charity's foodbank was operated by Ammanford Evangelical Church.
Objects of the charity
The charity is governed by a constitution and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are to relieve financial hardship for the public benefit of persons in conditions of need or hardship in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire and other parts of the United Kingdom, as the Trustees may from time to time think fit, by the provision of food and other poverty-preventing endeavours through the operation of a foodbank.
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
The Charity is aware that a crisis may come in many forms, including (but not limited to) redundancy, revocation of benefits, ill health, family break-up or unexpected large bills. The Foodbank regularly meets the needs of such individuals. Anyone in need in the Ammanford community is welcome to receive food packages and other poverty-preventing/alleviating support, regardless of their faith or creed.
Individuals, churches, schools and other interested organisations donate money and non-perishable food to the Foodbank. The food is then stored in three metal containers located at Y Llusern in Ammanford. With the need for the charity still rising and the current set up continuing to fall short of the charity’s needs, we continued to work with a local architect on the designs of our new building, one better suited to our needs. After a lengthy and much-delayed planning process we were finally given full planning permission to erect the building to the rear of Y Llusern, Wind Street, Ammanford.
The Foodbank continues to work in the same methods as years previous regarding the packing & distribution of emergency food parcels. Throughout the year we supported 3546 people with emergency food aid, of which 1406 were children. All of those engaging with the foodbank received support from our Help Centre as well. The role of which is to help maximise income and reduce expenditure as well as improve overall well-being through signposting to further support & offering in-house support where appropriate to do so. This in turn meant we were able to help 248 people get access to over £329,424 of financial gains in this year as well as numerous other non-financial services. This increase in preventative work through the Help Centre is being felt in the Foodbank directly where numbers support, whilst still high, are not as elevated as they were predicted to be. This shows the essential nature of the Help Centre in combating & preventing poverty in the local area.
2
The Organisation and Local Mobilisation (OLM) project completed its first year with increased connections to local organisations, focusing primarily on the need for better and increased housing in the local area. Particularly for those at risk of, or experiencing homelessness. It was decided by the Trustees before the year end that once the funding for the project expires (November 2025) it will not be continued past the initial two-year plan.
Similar to previous years, the cookery workshops continued bringing in local individuals, known either by their use of the Help Centre, Foodbank or through referral agencies. These are all individuals who would benefit from a course in budgeting & food preparation. Again the course has been met with a positive response from all attending. We continue to be grateful to Community Foundation Wales for their funding to make this possible and are glad to still have this year’s costs met. This continues to be well run by volunteers with a staff member checking in periodically for supervision or assistance.
From 1st April 2025 Paul Kennedy was recognised as the new manager of the charity, taking over from Mydrim Davies.
Throughout this year we began to look into the potential for reaching those living in rural locations or digitally excluded throughout the county with our Help Centre services in a project entitled Reaching Rural Carmarthenshire (RRC). This would look to have a partnership with a local organisation in a rural community who would host the drop ins and provide a Befriender volunteer to meet face-to-face with the clients before signing them onto a video call with a Signposting volunteer back in Ammanford. This method means that there is minimal training needed for the Befrienders and the Signposters can be kept up to date from 1 location. The intent is for a pilot town to trial the service and if it is helping them look to expand it to other areas as well. By the year end, conversation was had with a local church and community group in Llandovery about the project and they were very interested.
Toward the end of the year we have been able to engage two Trauma Counsellors to support clients with affordable counselling, funded by Acts435. Their specialist skills have been able to help a number of clients with a service that otherwise would take years to access. They have helped us develop an Anxiety Management Workshop, run by our volunteers but supervised by the Counsellors. This is a weekly group session looking to equip individuals with the tools they need to combat anxiety in their day to day lives.
After much consideration, in January of 2025 it was decided to change the legal name of the charity from Ammanford Foodbank to Cefnogi. This was for a few reasons but the main factor being that the scope of our anti-poverty work has gone beyond simply handing out food parcels. Cefnogi, meaning to support in Welsh, shows well the aim behind our work - to support the local community in preventing and alleviating crisis. Cefnogi is now spoken of as the umbrella charity responsible for several projects: Ammanford foodbank, Help Centre, Reaching Rural Carmarthenshire, OLM, Cookery Workshops etc. With work carried out prior to the change to share this reasoning, the change was well received and there have been no problems in lack of recognition or access to services as a result.
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Financial review
During this fourth year of operation, the charity has adopted accruals accounting instead of “receipts and payments” accounts in the previous years. More information on this change in accounting policy can be found in notes 2 and 20 to the financial statements.
In the year to 31 March 2025, the charity's income increased by £23,727 to £243,122 and expenditure increased by £25,912 to £194,740. As a result, the charity’s surplus for the year decreased by £2,184
3
to £48,382 and the charity’s net assets increased by the same amount to £230,276, of which £148,349 are unrestricted and can be used for any charitable purpose. Net current assets increased by £47,394 to £210,327, of which £128,400 are unrestricted.
Reserves policy
The trustees have enacted a new financial reserves policy and have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £30,100 (which equates to about 3 months of expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and/or expenditure very adversely. These funds will be held in a separate account until such a time as they may be needed. At the period's end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £132,130, though £82,768 of this is held in a designated fund for the charity’s future building project.
Governance
Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rest with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the charity has been delegated to a team led by one of the charity's employees. New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.
Relationships with other charities and related parties
As mentioned above, the charity's foodbank was previously operated by Ammanford Evangelical Church and the charity retains a close working relationship with the Church. The charity uses premises owned by the Church and the charity benefits in other ways from the Church's support. The two charities also share a trustee.
Risk statement
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
Responsibilities of trustees under charity law
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
4
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The previous year's accounts were prepared using the receipts and payments basis but, this year, the charity has optedprepare its accounts using the accruals basis. The results for 2023, which are comparatives quoted in these accounts, have been restated using the accruals basis (see note 20 for details).
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
- b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
-
i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
-
ii) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2 Accounting Policies (continued)
iii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from and bank interest.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
d) Fund accounting
-
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.
-
e) Tangible fixed assets
-
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Leasehold improvements Over the lease term or, if shorter, expected useful life, upon completion of the works Equipment Over 3 to 7 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Stocks
-
Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value; stocks of goods donated for the charity's own use are valued at an estimate of their value to the charity.
-
g) Leased assets
-
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use).
h) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2 Accounting Policies (continued)
i) Taxation
The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
j) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
k) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
l) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
