MCCP strengthened communication and en8a8ement with families through the introduction of the Famly digital platform.

Parent feedback was overwhelmingly positive and highli8hted the quality of care. communication. emotional 5UPWt and Welsh language opportunitles provided by the charity. The charity remained committed to promoting Welsh language and culture within its provision.

Trustees also focused on securing the lon8-term sustainability of the charity and its services. Following notification that MCCP had been named as the principal beneficiary of a substantial le8acy f rom the late Mr Michael Williams, trustees explored options to secure a permanent home for the organisation. This culminated in the decision to purchase the former doctors, surgery In Machynlleth, creatin8 a lon8-term charitable asset to support the continued delivery of childcare services for future generations of local children and famllles. Addltlonal dotalls of objectlves and actlvltlos (Optlonal Informatlon) Following receipt of the generous legacy gifted to Machynlleth Community Children's Project Ltd {MCCP) by the late Mr Mlchael Williams, the Trustees have carefully considered how these funds can be used to maximi5e public benefit, secure the future of the charity, and ensure the long-terrn sustsinability of childcare provision within the Machynlleth area. The Trustees recognise their responsibility to ensure that charitsble funds are invested prudently and in a manner that directly support5 the orRanisation's charitsble objectives. Following extensive consideration of number of options. the Trustees concluded that securiiig a permanent home for MCCP represents the most sustainable and beneficial use of the funds available. You may chooso to include further statements, where relevant, al￿ul.. FK)licy on grantmaking; policy programmE ielatsd investment; contribution made by volunteers. Background In D•cÈmber 2024. MCCP suffered sienificant storm damase to its nursery building as 3 result of Storm Darragh. The damage was extensive Marth 2012 and resulted in the charity having to urgently relocate services to ensure childcare provision could continue for local families. Children aged 2-3 years were temporarily accommodated within Ty Melfed. whilst childcare for children aged 6 months to 2 years wa5 initially delivered fr(Kn temporary community facilities before moving to accommodation provided with the support of Machynlleth Town Council. The organisation successfully re-registered the service with Care Inspettorate Wales and reopened on 6 January 2025. Subsequent inspertions and professional assessments determined that the original nursery building was unsafe and that demolition represented the most appropriate course of action. The Need for a Permanent Solution Whilst the emergency arrangements enabled MCCP to continue operatlng, the charity has experlenced slgnificant Challe￿e5 operatlng across two separate sites. Operatlng from two locatlons has: Increased staffin8 costs due to the need to maintsln approprlate stsffing ratios, leadership presence and safeguarding arran8ements across both Iixations. Increased management and operational costs. Reduced operational efflciencv. Made communication between teams more challengln8. Limited opportunities for staff to work collaboratively. Restricted opportunltles for children to access the same facilities and experiences. Increased pressure on the charity's finances, The Trustees have concluded that continuin8 to operate acr05S two sites is not financially sustainable in the long term. Bringing all children and stsff together within a single building will significantly reduce duplication of Staffing and operational costs and improve the overall efficiency and sustainability of the organisation. StrJtPEiC Investment Objectives The legacy funding will be used to achieve the following objectives: l. Secure a Permanent Home for MCCP Purchase and develop a permanent building capable of accommodating all nursery. childcare and family services on one slte. Ownership creates a long-term charitable asset that will benefit future 8eneratlons rather than investing substsnts.al fund5 into rented accommodation. 2. Protect Childca re Provision Safeguard the continuity of childcare services following the loss of the previous nursery building and ensure families continue to have acces5 to reliable, high-quality chil(kare provis10n. 3. Improve Children's Outcomes Create an enhanced learnin8 environment that SUPFN)rts children's wellbeing, learnin8. development. outdo)r play, inclusion and Welsh lan8uage development. 4. Improve Organisation31 Su5tainabllity Brin8 all children and stsff together on one site to reduce duplicated Costs, improve efficiency. strengthen serrfice delivery and ensure the charity remain5 financially sustainable into the future. Operating from a single location will allow resources to be directed into improving outcomes for children rather than malntainin8 multiple sites. Property Acquisition FolSowin8 the receipt of the legacy, Trustees considered several option5 for the future accommthdation of MCCP, including the potential lease of a Welsh Gi)vernment-owned bulldin8 that met the required space stsndards for childcare provision. In March 2026, the former doctors, surgery in Machynlleth became available for purchase. After careful consideratlon, site vlslts and discussions re8ardin8 future development potential, Trustees unanimously agreed that acquiring the property would provide the greatest lon8-term benefit to the charlty. Benefits of purchasing the property Include: Creation of a permanent base for MCCP. Bringing all services together under one roof. Improved operational efficiency. Increased opportunities for service development. Enhanced facilities for children and stsff. Creation of a valuable charitable asset. Improved long-term financial sustainability. An offer of £3(X).iNXI VRS submitted and subsequently accepted. and the charity is progres5in8 V4ryth the purchase. 12-Month Delivery Plan Phase l - Property Acquisition Mafch 2012 Complete legal purchase. Finalise surveys and due diligence. Transfer ownership to MCCP. Phase 2 - Design and Planning Complete architectural designs. A8ree r¢x)m layouts and operational requirements. Engage with CIW and relevant stakeholders. Phase 3- Building Development Complete adaptstion viorks. Oevelop indoor and outdoor learning envlronmerrts. Purchase fvrniture, equipment and resources. Phase 4 - Transition and Opening Complete re8iStration requirements. Relocate seNices to the new bullding. Inform and engage families throughout the move. Launch the new MCCP facility. Public Benefit Outcomes The Trustees expect this Investmert to deliver significant public benefit through: Securing the future of childcare provision for chlldren aged 6 months to 12 years. Providing a safe, secure and purp05e-designed environment for learning and development. Supporting working families and helping sustsln local employment. Protecting jobs within MCCP. lrnprovin8 children's V￿lIbeing and outcomes. Increasing OPWtunities for Welsh language development Supporting children with additional learning needs. Reducing financial pressures asscKiated with operatin8 over two sites. Improving efficiency by brirvding staff, children and resources together in one location. Creating a permanent community a55et that will benefit future generations. March 2012 Trustee Statement The Trustees believe that using the Michael Williams le8acy to purchase and develop a permanent home for MCCP represents a prudent, sustainable and impartful use of charitable funds. Rather than investing significant resources into temporary accommodati¢)n or lon8-term lease arrangements. the charity is investing in a permanent asset that will continue to serve children. families and the wider community for many vears to come. The decision has also been driven by the need to secure the lon8-term financial sustsinability of the charity. Operating from two separate sites has created increased staffing requirements and additional operational costs which place Ongoi￿ pressure on resources. Bringing all servlces together within one building will reduce duplication, improve efficiency and enable a greater proportlon of the charity's Income to be invested directly Into dellverlng hl8h-quallty childcare and supportin8 children's outcomes. The Trustees are satisfied that this investment represents the best use of the legacy received and will secure a stable, 5UStainable future for MCCP whilst ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality childcare for the children and families of Machynlleth and the surrounding communities. Section D Achievements and performance Section D Summary of the main achlevements of tho charity durlng the year Achievements and performance A major achievement during the year was the charity's successful response to the severe storm damage caused by Storm Darragh in December 2024. Following the closure of the nursery buildingi MCCP rapldly implemented emergency arrangements to ensure continuity of care for children aged 6 months to 3 years. The charity successf ully relocated services across alternative sites, worked closely with Care Inspectorate Wale5 {CIWI and Machynlleth Town Council, and re-opened provision on 6 January 2025 with minimal disruption to families. Throughout the year, MCCP continued to provide high-quality childcare, early years educatlon, after-school care and hollday provlsion for children aged 6 month5 to 12 years. The organi5ation maintained strong partnerships with parents, schools, Flying Stsrt, Local Authority advisory servlces and Additional Learning Needs IALNI teams to ensure children received appropriate support and opportunities to thrive. The charlty successfully increased its re8lstered chlldcare capacity through approval from Care Inspectorate Wales, enabling more children and families to access childcare services during a period of sl8nlficant Iixal need. MCCP continued to achieve F￿ltIve outcomes for children through a play-based approach to learning, outdoor experiences. healthy eatin8 initiatives, and a stron8 focus on emotional wellbeing. Children were supported to develop independence, confidence and key developmental skills withln nurturing and inclusive environments. The organlsation also continued to provide effective Support for children wlth additional learning needs through early identification and partnership workin8 With specialist agencies. A significant improvement during the year was the introduction of the Famly digital platform. This enhanced communication with families, improved record keeplng, strengthened compliance monitoring. and allowed parents to receive resular update5 regarding their children's experiences. learning and wellbeing. Parent feedback demonstrated that communication had improved considerably following its introduction. Feedback from famllies remained overwhelmingly positive. Parents highlighted the warm and wel¢omin8 environmÈnt. excellent communication, strong emotional supp)rt for children, quality learning experiences. outdoor opportunities and promotion of the Welsh language. 5tsff were praised for their dedlcation, patience and commitment to supporting children's individual needs. The charlty also made significant prcgress in supporting and developing its worKforce. Weekly roorn m•otin8s and management meetings were introduced to improve communication and co113boratiOTJ. Staff wellbeing Mawch 2012 Section D Achievements and performance initiatives. including a dedicated wellbeing weekend, were implemented to support morale and resilience during a challenging period of organisational chan8e. Staff survey results indicated improved levels of satisfactirn compared with the previou5 year. MCCP continued to promote Welsh language and culture throughout its provision. Children participated in Welsh songs, stories and activities, with many parents reportin8 increased use of Welsh language at home as a result of their children's experiences within the setting. A transformational achievement during the year was the notiflcation that MCCP had been named as the principal beneficiary of a substantlal legacy from the late Mr Michael Williams. This provided the charlty with an opportunity to secure its long-term future and enabled trustees to explore optlons for a permanent home for the organisation. Followin8 detailed consideration, trustees successfully a8reed the purchase of the lormer doctors, sur8ery in Mathynlleth for £300,C(IO. Thi5 will provide a permanent base for the charity, create a valuable charitable asset, improve financial sU5tainabillty and allow all services to operate from a sin8le 51te in the future. Overall, the charity demonstrated resilience, strong leadership and effective governance throughout the year, successfully overcoming slgnificant challenges whilst continuin8 to deliver hi8h-quality childcare and support to children, families and the wider community. The actions taken during the year have positioned MCCP well for future 8rowth, sustainability and continued public benefit. Section E Financial review RESERVES POUCY In January 2023 the Trustees revIev￿d the restricted Funds Policy This policy explains why we hold a certain amount of our money in cash reserves, why we hold the level we hold and how this policy will be reviewed. Machynlleth Community Children's Project IMCCPI Ltd.'s Reserves As a charitsble company Ilmlted by guarantee, the Trustees acknowledge that each year the majority of income should bÈ returned to the charity in terms of the services MCCP provides. However, as a sensible and professional organisation. it is important that a level of reserve is held which would be available should any unforeseen circumstance occur. MCCP is dependent on trading income and an element of grant funding, the nature of the organisation is such that it is unlikely to be able to secure any other type of funding from other source5. Level of Reserves in order to minimise the risk to the organisation. the Trustees have agreed the following-. To maintain a level capable of meeting a sufficient operating reserve to meet the equivalent of ￿0-Month Salary costs. Current assets Brlef stalemant of the charlty's pollcy on reserves surplus to the agreed operating reserve, sh￿Id be used for strategic purposes of MCCP in developing its services and raising its Standards. £24(K)O was bequeathed to MCCP to helpfacilitate a new nursery building. This isto be held in reserves until such a time that a new nursery building is acquired. At any time, this policy can be reviewed should the chair of the Trustees receive official notice from either two of the Trustee Boar(L Machynlleth Community Children's Project Ltd hold £64690.00 in reserves as of January 2023. This policy was reviewed Februa 2023. Detalls of any funds materlally In deflcft Further financlal revlew dots118 (Optlonal inforniation) The Trustees are pleased to report that, despite a year of significant operational disruption following the loss of the charity's nursery building, Machynlleth Community Children's Project Ltd remained financially Stable and continued to deliver high-quality childcare service5 to children and familles across the local community. You may chooso to inclLKI8 additional information, where rélevant about.. the charity's principal sources of funds (including any fundraisingl., how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity: Investment pollcy and objectives including any ethlcal Investment poI￿Y adopted. Totsl income for the year ￿￿S £789.95012024: £301,747). It is important to note that this substantial increase in income vrns almost entirely attributsble to the receipt of a signiflcant legacy, rather than an increase in normal tradin8 activities. Childcare fee income in¢rea5ed to £355,048 {2024: £277,822), reflerting continued demand for the charity's services, however the exceptlonal rlse In overall income arose from the legacv received durlng the year. Without this legacy, the charity's income would have reflected a much more typical operating year. The Trustees recognise that this legacy represerrts a one-off receipt and not a recurring source of income. Consequently, the charity ha5 not viewed the funds as available for ongoing operational expenditure, but rather as a unique opwrtunity to address long-term strategic challenges and secure the future svstainability of the or8anisation. Total expenditure during the year was £383,68412024: £307.2701. Staffing costs continued to represent the charity's lar8est area of expenditure, with V￿ge5, National Insurance and pension contributlons totalling £329,552. Thi5 reflects the charity's commitment to maintalning appropriate Staffing ratios, safe8uarding standards and high-quallty childcare provision. The charity reported a net surplus of £4LE•.266 (2024: deficit of £5,523). Again, Trustees emphasise thatthi5 surplus was generated prirnarily a5 a result ot the excepiiondl Irsa¥y inGom• rg¢•ivÈ>d diJrinGr the vear. March 2012 Excluding the legacy, the financial position would have reflected the usual challenges faced by childcare providers operating in a difficult economic environment and managing increased operating costs ass(Kiated with temporary accommodation arrangements. At 31 August 2025. total fund5 Stcd at £498,32912024: £92,063), comprising £467.088 unrestricted funds and £31,241 restricted funds. Cash balances increased from £81.837 to £502,687, primarily due to the receipt of the legacy funds. Following Storm Darragh and the subsequent loss of the nursery building, the charity has been required to operate from two separate sites. Whilst this arrangement has enabled MCCP to continue providin8 childcare services. it has significantly increased operating costs, particularly staffing costs. Additional staffing is required to ensure appropriate supervision. management oversight. safeguarding arrangements and regulatory compliance across both locations. Trustees have concluded that operatin8 from two slte5 is not financiallv sustainable in the lon8 term and that brin8ing a51 children and staff together within a sin8le buildin8 is essential to securin8 the charity's future. During the year. the charity was notified that It had been named as the principal beneficiary of a substantlal legacy from the late Mr Michael Williams. The Trustees undertook a strategic review of the or8anlsation's future accommodation needs and considered a range of options for securing a permanent home for MCCP. Followin8 detailed consideration, Trustees agreed to purchase the former dc(tors' sur8ery in Machynlleth for £300,(XKI, subject to completion. The acquisition will create a permanent charitable asset and enable the or8anisation to bring all 5ervice5 tO8ether on one site, reducin8 duplication of costs, improving operational efficiency and 5trengthenin8 lon8-term 5UStainability. The Trustees believe that usin8 the le8acy in this way represents a prudent and responsible use of charitable funds. Rather than usinE the funds to support day-ttrday expenditure, the investment will provide long-terTn benefits to children, familie5 and the wider community by securing the future of childcare provision in Machynlleth for many years to come. Alter revieY*ivi8 tr¢ cnarity's financial position. future available reserves. the Trustees remaln satisfied that MCCP has adequate resources to continue operatin8 and meeting its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. The financial 5tstements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. Overall, while the charty's year-end financial pos(tion is signnfcantty stronger than previous years, the Trustees ackna￿edge that this reflects the receipt of a one-off legacy rather than an increase in recurring income. The Board's focus remains on using these funds slrategicalty to secure a permanent home, improve operational efficiency. and ensure the long-term sustainabilty of MCCP and its services for future generations.
