Yesterday Caerphilly People First held our AGM (Annual General Meeting) for 2023. At the meeting we went through a summary of the annual trustees’ report for 2021-2022, which details all the activities we took part in during that financial year, as well as looking at a summary of the financial report for the same period, explaining what we have spent our money on, and who has funded us.

Also at the AGM we elected a new Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Treasurer. After each nominee gave a speech on why they thought they should be given the roles, the nominees left the room and the rest of the group voted for who they thought should be elected. The result was that Sophie Morgan was elected Chairperson, Natalie King was elected Vice Chairperson, and Ffion Poole was elected Treasurer. The ladies will be in post for three years and we’d like to wish them all the best in their new roles – we know they’ll do an excellent job.
