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 2015).

Charity Objectives

The promotion for the public benefit of urban or rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation, and in particular, the electoral wards within the electoral constituency known as Aberafan.

Such other means as May from time to time be determined subject to the prior written consent of the charity commissioner for England and Wales.

Mission statement

Supporting regeneration to enable a better quality of life for communities.

Vision statement

Helping communities work together.

Values

Public service, leadership, selflessness, integrity, objectivity, honesty, accountability and stewardship.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Activities

During 2023/24 we had new centre users – Physical Empowerment and Whitehead Ross, and continued working relationships with Marauders Men’s Health, Rainbow Tree Wales, Drive and several community organisations. The three members of staff continue to work a 4 day working week in order to cover all 3 premises.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the organisation to maintain unrestricted and designated funds to ensure sufficient reserves to meet three months running costs. However in the event of periods of difficult trading this continues to be no longer achievable until the survival strategy disposal of unproductive assets is achieved.

FUTURE PLANS

The organisation seeks to maintain its community based regeneration activities based on its capacity for income generation.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 27 November 1998. The company was established under a memorandum which established the objects and powers of the company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The company became a charity pursuant to Special Resolutions passed at its Annual General Meeting held on 27 June 2001 and written resolution dated 26 September 2001. Subsequent amendments widening the area of beneficiaries to include the electoral ward of Aberavon and thereby a name change were adopted dated 29 September 2004 and ratified with a written resolution on 9 March 2005. In the event of the company being wound up the director trustees are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

On 3 September 2012 AGM, following a year of community consultation the charitable company amended its Memorandum and Articles of Association to include the Constituency of Aberavon in its area of beneficiaries and changed its name. The changes have been registered with the Charities Commission and Companies House during the financial year 2012/13.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Memorandum and Articles are known as director trustees and members of the Board. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the members of the Board are elected at the AGM. The Board has adopted by-laws to allow free membership of the organisation and ensure that of the 18 permitted director trustees, 9 will be residents in the constituency of Aberavon and shall comprise one from each electoral ward, 3 shall be appointed from residents within communities first Wards and 3 shall be from business.

Any vacancy within the Board is advertised prior to the AGM and appropriate nominations invited from the membership of the organisation or by way of introduction in the case of business nominees. The Board has appointed a paid Business Manager who shall direct all operations, business planning, business administration, human resource management, finance and marketing of the company's community regeneration mission.

Organisational structure

NSA Afan has a board of director/trustees which aims to meet 3 times a year and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At the year end, the Board has 4 director trustees. The trustees represent a number of residents and community interests as well those with business and professional backgrounds. The company secretary does not sit on the board and has no voting rights.

Management structure

As referred to above, a scheme of delegation within a management structure is in place and the 'day to day' responsibility for the management and delivery of all programmes, projects and services rests with the Business Manager who also manages all development, operations, business planning, business administration, human resource management, finance and marketing of the company's community regeneration mission. This is accomplished via the Business Manager, Finance Officer and Facilities Administrators in the Centres.

Induction and training of new trustees

All trustees are familiar with the running of the organisation. They meet four times a year in scheduled Board meetings and set the budget for the year and decide on the strategic direction of the company for the ensuing year. New trustees are inducted into their role by the Company Secretary.

Most trustees have participated in a "Charity Trustee Responsibilities" training event which we bought in from Bevan and Buckland. They also receive Charity Commission newsletters on the roles of Trustees and related issues.

Trustees are very familiar with the running of all aspects of the organisation by receiving the Chief Executive's report and the minutes of the Senior Management team on a monthly basis.

Trustees conform to all aspects of charity law and a visit in 2006/07 by the Charities Commission review team helped strengthen the charity and the role of its trustees. This is reflected in changes in the Memorandum and Articles of Association with regard to introducing rotation of Trustees for example.

Key management remuneration

Staff Salaries are currently paid to 3 staff members who are entitled to reimbursement of essential expenses only. Trustees are entitled to claim reasonable expenses incurred in travelling to meeting locations .

Related parties

We work in partnership with a number of organisations who have interest in or a base in Sandfields, Aberavon and the wider Neath Port Talbot and Swansea Bay area and who support residents in all aspects of the quality of their lives. For example, we have provided public support for the Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay scheme proposed by a Special Purpose Vehicle company of the same name. The charity has purchased 6 shares in the scheme totalling £4,800 as a demonstration of commitment to clean renewable energy and the potential community benefits of the scheme to residents in the Swansea Bay area. The Company Secretary is the Chair of the Active Supporters Group for Neath Port Talbot which comprises over 300 members of the 1,000 supporters across Swansea Bay.

Risk management

Policies are in place and procedures observed in respect of health and safety of our staff, volunteers and customers at our premises which as at 31 March 2024 are:-

The Employment Academy at Dalton Road is the NSA Afan Official Headquarters. The Community Development Centre, Bevin Avenue is active with a Staff member in post.

The Community centre at Michna Street remains open and run on a mutually key holder basis with local groups.

All necessary policies for employing staff are in place and these are reviewed annually. Two or more policies are reviewed at each board meeting. Each member of staff has been issued with an employee handbook which sets out personnel policies.

The charity has introduced a stricter form of controls as a consequence of fraudulent activities identified during the years which were carried out by a former employee. This is referred to in the auditor's report.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of New Sandfields Aberafan and Afan Community Regeneration for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

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 proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and

The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

ACCOUNTANTS

The independent examiner, Daniel Perrin & Co Limited, will be proposed for appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on .........25[th] January 2024....................................
