The Friends is an unincorporated association registered with the Charity Commission. 

The management committee adopted its constitution in July 2012. The Friends members elect management committee members from its members at the Annual General Meeting or Extraordinary General Meeting. 

## 2. **Licence to operate** 

The City and Council of Swansea (the ‘Council’) own the freehold premises of Oystermouth Castle. 

Under the terms of a Licence to Operate (the ‘Licence’) The Friends and authorised guests are permitted non-exclusive use by the Council to use Oystermouth Castle as a Heritage Visitor facility.

A portion of income is held in the current account to cover: 

1. Essential Costs (see 3.2.  Financial Review) 

2. Prior agreed events at the Castle which are arranged by the Council 

3. Materials purchased for the Friends use 

4. All functions which are the Friends responsibility e.g. AGMs, insurance, accountancy fees 

5. A portion of the Castle Development Co-ordinator’s salary 

6. The Friends contribution towards the Castle conservation 

7. Other sundry items 

## **5. Public Benefit Statement** 

The Friends objects are to provide access and presentation at the Castle.  The Friends promote the history and heritage of the site to visitors and provide a venue for local schools colleges and universities.  The Castle hosts medieval re-enactments and living history societies, which recreate all aspects of life during the Middle Ages. 

We have managed to run guided tours three times a week in July, 

2 



August and September, organise Halloween and Christmas events and have a few educational school tours. 

## **6. How we fulfilled our Aims** 

The Friends set up a training programme for potential new tour guides to shadow our experienced guides and we are continuing this by making a more structured approach. The programme of guided tours last year provided us with useful positive feedback for the trustees. As a result this coming year we will be increasing the number of tours given at the castle to two tours AM & PM Wednesday and Friday with additional tours during school holidays on a Sunday. 

The trustees have put in place a new claims policy to make it more open and transparent. They have also introduced a new herb garden from which visitors can have a sample bag of the herbs. To enable us to comply with legislation regarding young and vulnerable people 6 of the friends have been DBS checked. 

To assist with delivering an improved service to the ‘Friends’ and the visiting public and also to help the secretary, we are looking to employ a temporary member of staff in this coming year. This will be an ongoing employment for the season whilst the castle is open. 

## **7. Special Events and Year Highlights** 

The past year has seen the trustees engaging with local dignitaries such as the leader of Swansea Council Rob Stewart and other members of his cabinet to raise the profile of the castle, the meeting was a success and we look forward to working with Rob and his team this coming year. 

The volunteer numbers have increased slightly since reopening but we are always looking for volunteers to join and commit whatever they can to help keeping the castle opening and functioning effectively. 

During the past year the Friends formed separate teams, for tour guides, events organisation, odd jobs and extended their connections with the Ostreme Theatre Players, who gave magnificent support when called upon.

The Friends and Swansea Council are still engaged with Hiraeth Architecture to carry out a feasibility study to look at replacing the Friends’ tent and the feasibility for redesign/configure of the current visitor accommodation. There have been number of meetings which progress has been made to the extent of getting to the initial pre application enquiry. If the proposals are accepted we can look forward to the reception and shop etc moving from the chapel block to a position just inside the gatehouse on the right hand side. 

The Friends held two social events through the past year which went very well, they also ran a ‘fact finding’ trip to Hay on Wye castle where an informed tour as well as an opportunity to discuss the management of their castle. It is proposed to hold a number of similar events this coming year 2023. 

## **8. Future Plans**

- Continue to engage with the local community to further and enhance the knowledge of the Castle’s history and continuing story 

- Promote the Castle as a community attraction that local people want to visit on a regular basis 

## **9. Volunteer Help in 2023** 

- The trustees have been overwhelmed by the help and support that the Friends have given to the Castle since we reopened fully after the pandemic and wish to record their sincere thanks to all who have kept the Castle open and enjoyed by the public.  Looking forward we presently have 28 potential ‘Friends of Oystermouth Castle’ for this coming year and have received an encouraging response to our 2023 recruitment process. 

   - The events team are always looking for help with the productions they put on at the castle, no special skills are required only plenty of enthusiasm, this coming year if we want to progress on the excellent work of the events team we will be looking for further help from our friends, the help can be anything you want all is gratefully accepted. 

## **9. Paul Griffin** 

- Finally I must mention that our Past Chairman Paul Griffin has stepped down from duties as a trustee and friend after giving in excess of 10 years volunteering at the castle. I would like to thank Paul for all his past work as Chairman and the excellent support he has given as a trustee and help given to other ‘Friends’. 

## **10. 2023** 

- Looking forward, let us hope that this year 2023 is a successful one, and we continue to make progress since reopening fully. With a number of big issues in the pipeline we can look forward with great optimism to make the castle one of the cornerstones for attracting visitors for the county and benefiting our local community.

## **20.2 Deferred income** 

_**Please complete this note if the charity has deferred income.**_ 

_**Please explain the reasons why income is deferred.**_ 

_**A large grant of £89,001 for Castle conservation and development from Welsh Government was also deferred in 2020. £4,654.84 of this was spent in 2021, and so this amount of income was released into the 2021 accounts to fund/offset the relevant expenditure. A similar release of £36,669.39 of the remaining income held occurred in 2022 to offset grant spent.  In 2021 £10k grants Covid Circuit BR were received but not spent and so these have also been put into deferred income. Thus deferred income  at year end 31/12/22 was £57,677 comprised: £47,676.77 WG Conservation grant remaining + £10k Covid Circuit BR.  (The final element making the £57,827 above is £150 accrual for the Independent Examination y/e 31/12/22.)**_

## **Note 25             Fair value of assets and liabilities** 

**25.1  Please provide details of the charity's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring a loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) , liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands) and market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market) arising from financial instruments to which the charity is exposed at the end of the reporting period and explain how the charity manages those risks.** 

**25.2  Please give details of the amount of change in the fair value of basic financial instruments (debtors, creditors, investments (see section 11, FRS 102 SORP)) measured at fair value through the SoFA that is attributable to changes in credit risk.** 

No current credit risk, due to the fact that the majority of income comes from entrance fees and shop sales which are received at point of sale. No liquidity current risk, as there is more than enough money in the bank to cover obligations both accrued and ongoing. No market risk, as the organisation has no investments other than cash at the bank in a standard account. 

N/A. There has been no change which is attributable to credit risk.

**Respective responsibilities** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The **of trustees and examiner** charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

**Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

- **Independent examiner's** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention **statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in 

   - accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with 

   - the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Section B                           Disclosure** 

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems.(E.g. 

accounting records have not been kept in accordance with s132 of the Charities’ Act 2011 and those accounts do not comply with the requirements of the 2008 Regulations setting out the form and content of charity accounts; any material expenditure or action which appears not to be in accordance with the trusts of the charity; any failure to be provided with information and explanations by any past or present trustee, officer or employee; and any material consistency between the accounts and the trustees’ annual report.)
