REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees present their report, together with the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

OUR PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

The objects of the charity is established to provide the provision of facilities for recreation and other occupations for children resident in the districts of Radnorshire/North Brecknock being facilities (A) of which such children have need by reason of their youth or social and economic circumstances and (B) which will improve the conditions of life for such children by promoting their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCE

This organisation is in the process of being wound down. We were waiting until all assets had been transferred to the new charity.

There is more information in the Play Radnor/Chwarae Maesyfed report.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

We have now been able to transfer all assets to the new charity in preparation for this organisation to be wound down. Play Radnor/Chwarae Maesyfed has been set up to take over the charitable aims and objectives of this one.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total Incoming Resources in the year were £80,640 (2024 - £75,997). Expenditure was £84,445 compared to £96,832 for the previous year. Net expenditure for the year was £3,805 compared to net expenditure of £20,835 for the previous year. The net movement in funds were net expenditure for Restricted Funds of £4,801 (2024 - net expenditure of £23,338) and net income for Unrestricted Funds of £996 (2024 - Net income £2,503) details of which are provided in the notes to the Financial Statements.

Details of Income and Expenditure are given in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 5 of the report. The Principal Funding Sources are summarised in note 2 on page 9 of the Financial Statements.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, or held in designated funds, (‘the free reserves’) held by the Charity should be approximately three months of core costs expended which is estimated at approximately £16,000 (2024 - £16,000). At this level the Trustees feel they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The actual free reserves at 31 March 2025 were £Nil (31 March 2024 - £293).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued in March 2005.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PLAY RADNOR

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 5 to 13.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. 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 you as 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 Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention:

(1) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Preparation of Accounts on a Going Concern Basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern but the period considered is less than twelve months as the Charity is in the process of being wound down as a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation, Play Radnor/Chwarae Maesyfed has been set up to take over the charitable aims and objectives of this Charity.

Exemption from Preparing a Cash Flow Statement

The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements .

Incoming Resources

Incoming resources including capital grants for the purchase of fixed assets are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when these are receivable.

Incoming resources in the form of donated assets have been included in the Income and Expenditure Account at a reasonable estimate of their value and capitalised where appropriate.

Resources Expended

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in cost categories of costs of generating funds, charitable expenditure provision of hospice and governance of the Charity.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to these categories in respect of administration expenses, it is estimated based on activity levels that 90% of these costs are attributable to direct charitable expenditure and 10% to governance.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Freehold Property No deprecation Play Fort 10% on cost Equipment, Fixtures and Fittings 20% on cost Computer Equipment 33.33% on cost Motor Vehicles 25% on cost

The residual value of the Freehold Property is considered to be at least equal to the carrying value of Freehold Property in the Financial Statements and therefore no depreciation has been provided on the building as this would be immaterial.

Voluntary Help and Gifts in Kind

No value has been put on the voluntary help received during the year.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.

Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Accounting for Separate Funds

The financial statements of a charity must differentiate between restricted and unrestricted funds.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions, imposed by the donor or by the specific terms of the charity appeal less amounts expended for these purposes. Designated funds are income funds of the Charity which have been set aside for specific purposes, less amounts expended for these purposes. Unrestricted funds are all the other funds of the charity.

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of this scheme are held separately from those of the charity, being invested with insurance companies. Pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities disclosed in note 7 represent contributions payable by the charity in the year.

Concessionary Loans

Concessionary loans are measured in accordance with the accounting treatment set out in FRS 102 PBE34.90 to PBE 34.97.
