Chairfs Report
In a year where Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre gave a huge Croseo to over 34,000 visitors - not only at the centre
but also in our communities, through our partnerships and at Craft Festival Wales it is a huge a pleasure to
introduce this report, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, by celebrating the achievements of our staff,
volunteers. facilitators and partners.
There have been many highlights, but one thing that ha5 Stood out is Louise. and her team's continued
dedication to strengthening our role as a valued asset for our communities. To achieve this, we need to be a
conslstent and reliable resource. which is no small task in a climate of increasing funding pressures. The team
have worked tirelessly across the year to secure funding and make earned income. so that our communities can
stay at the heart ofwhat we do.
We are immensely proud that our Living with Dementia programme is now more than 16 years old. It must not
be underestimated how impactful it is for people affected by dementia to have a longstanding regular and safe
artistic space. The programme as part of 'Be Kind to you Mind,, alongside Create with Confidence. Mindful
Making and Craft Clwb, is building resilience. creating connection through creativity and supporting wellbeing
and mental health for communities across Southeast Wales.
It has also been exciting to see the work of Llantarnam Grange embedded directly into our communities. The
weeklong pop-up exhibition in Cwmbran Shopping Centre as part of 'Cwmbran 75, gave us the opportunity to
platform 97 works of art by 58 different Welsh Artists to a whole new audience. The Billboard Gallery continue5
to democratise art with its very public presence in the town centre. showcasing Ffion Williams. Cymraeg Ddrwg.
which had a dual impact also celebrating the Welsh Language.
Our exhibition programme has continued to champion community voices. nurture new emerging artistic talent
and celebrate much loved established Welsh artists and maker5. The variety across the year has included our
Youth Advisory Panel's 'Practice in Place, which they planned, designed and curated independently. Toni De Jesus,
'Caciilo' which renewed our touring partnerships with Ruthin Craft Centre and the phenomenal Sahar Saki's
'Persian Tour, installation.
With social justice a key part of this worc it has been wonderful to see steps taken to improve the accessibility of
our building. A new disabled parking bay, updated accessible toilet and better lighting support our ambitions for
equity of access for all our audiences. We have also seen changes Eo lessen our environmental impact. notably
the installation of solar panels.
All this work would not be possible without the ongoing hard work of the whole Llantarnam Grange team. Under
Louise's leadership the staff, volunteers and facilitators embody our values every single day, ensuring a person-
centreed approach to delivering our Business Plan. I wish to expres5 my heartfelt thanks to them for their
unwavering commitment and love for the work they do. l also wsh to thank my fellow Trustees for their strategic
oversight and due diligence in providing good governance.

action if income falls below expectations.
dl Planned commitments that cannot be met by future income alone, e.g., plans for a major asset purchase or to
a significant project that requires the charity to provide 'match fundin¥.
el Efficient cashflow- this 15 essential to fund short-term deficits in a cash budget, e.g., money may need to be
spent before a funding grant is received.
n Holding enough cash reserves to cover redundancies and closure of contracts in the event of the charity
