REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The
trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due
regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Significant activities that were undertaken
during the year demonstrate public benefit and are set out in the following pages.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation
and leisure time occupation, to benefit the residents of Trimsaran and the surrounding neighbourhoods. The Forum is to
maintain and manage a Community Centre in furtherance of these objects.
Volunteers
Ten volunteers have assisted at the Charity during the year.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The trustees are pleased to report that this year has been one of relative stability, with additional groups using the
facilities, some of which are free for attendees.
The centre is a community hub, facilitating a wide range of facilities and services eg sports hall, function room,
community café, Doctor's surgery, Ulcer clinic, community garden, Family centre, gym, free wifi and a public access
computer to name a few.
There has been a welcome reduction in utility costs. We are grateful for support from The WCVA in funding an energy
efficiency report to identify areas where we can reduce overheads, then funding to replace the boiler to a more efficient
one.
The cost of living crisis has impacted on our community. We have run low cost and no cost events along with the café
being used as a warm hub to help alleviate this. We also provided some food parcels to residents with support from the
We have continued to support youth club sessions and hope to be able to expand this into the old miner's hall, we for
which we have a funding application in to the Welsh Government to renovate the space.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
At 31 March 2025 the Charity had total funds of £740,301 of which £469,130 were restricted and £271,171 were
unrestricted. There were free reserves of £55,040.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted free reserves of the charity, at a level that equates to approximately
six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support
costs. Unrestricted funds fell below this level during the year, however the trustees consider that the charity is a going
concern with the ongoing support of Trimsaran Community Council.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in

is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has
been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly
attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of
resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but
not accrued as expenditure.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful

STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow
moving items.
TAXATION
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
FUND ACCOUNTING

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions
