Volunteers
Thanks go to the army of volunteers who serve on Menter Caerdydd's Board and committees and who work on our numerous projects. We have over 50 volunteers who work with us on a broad range of services throughout the year and provide an invaluable contribution to the delivary of activities provided by Menter Caerdydd across the city.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Menter Caerdydd provides a wide range of services through the medium of Welsh in Cardiff and its environs. An outline of the work can be seen on the Menter Caerdydd's website www.mentercaerdydd.cymru
Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Manter Caerdydd staff innovated and successfully moved muchof thelr offers and services online, and continued to find new ways to develop and deliver opportunities for people right across the city.
We succeeded in receiving funding from a number of departments within Cardiff Council including Play Services, the Leisure Department and Education Departmant. We also received funding towards our services from the Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales. Menter Caerdydd is a workforce of 9 staff (5 full-time, 4 part-time) and 146 casual staff.
Following the huge success of Tafwyi 2019 the concept of Tafwyl was further developed in 2020, under hugely challenging COVID-19 circumstances, via a virtual Tafwyl broadcast. The innovative event took place with an ambitious programme being streamed live from Tafwyl's most recant home, Cardiff Castle, diractly into people's homes, supported by our main funders Cardiff Council, the Arts Council of Wales and the Welsh Goverment, as well as other partners and sponsors. The festival was watched by a global audience of more than 24,000 who tuned in to enjoy a digital version of Tafwyl - Cardiff's annual celebration of Welsh arts and culture — with people watching from the USA, Japan, Netherlands, Spain and France to name but a few. Our core service had to change significantly during the year, with almost all activities being delivered digitally. This new approach drew in excellent attendance numbers as we diversified our programme of opportunities and we were able to deliver to new audiences and offer support packages of digital workshops for schools.
Accritical element for us was to ensure that people of all ages had opportunities to use their Welsh on a social level, outside the classroom/work, as well as a chance to develop new skills, meet new people and enjoy new experiences,

The trustees have considered the needs of the charity for financial reserves in accordance with the guidelines given by the Charity Commission that trustees carry out an ongoing review of the reserves levels and the reserves policy to ensure they continue to be relevant in changing circumstances. As a result they have adopted the following policies -
-
The need for a reserve funds is: a) To have money to earmark for special projects in order to develop them or realise them in a shart period of time.
-
b) To ensure that money is available for administration and support costs which enable the charity to operate especially during periods of uncertainty e.g. COVID-19 pandemic that has an enormous impact on the income generation opportunity of the charity, as well as additional pressures on future grants. This reserve level also takes into account periods at the beginning of a new financial year as well as ensuring there are sufficient funds to meet all contractual liabilities in the avent of winding up the charity.
-
c) To provide a sufficient reserve to enable its voluntary fundraising scheme to operate.
Page 2
MENTER CAERDYDD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024 a FINANCIAL REVIEW The current policy of the trustees is the financial reserve should be approximately 17% - 20% of expenditure In a nonCOVID-19 year (approx. £790k). This equates to £134,300 to £158,000. The trustees consider the current level of reserves to be sufficient to meet the charity's needs.
FUTURE PLANS
The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated our lives since March 2020. We have been forced to make the unprecedented decision to change the way we delivered our offers and services. This led to the cancellation of most of our face to face activities until April 2021. We have had to be more creative and innovative than ever in the way we engage our service users and how we continue to deliver our wide ranging programme of activities.
The Board and staff at Menter Caerdydd have worked tirelessly throughout, collaborating with colleagues from other organisations across Wales to ensure that Welsh language social opportunities have continued to be delivered and enjoyed.
Menter Caerdydd is committed to ensuring that our work continues to reflect the needs of the diverse Welsh communities in the capital city especially as we emerge from the pandemic. We will need to continue to challenge areas of expenditure in order to drive down costs as well as looking for new sourcas of income. We have been realistic in recognising that we face a challenging economic period going forward, but by continuing to Innovate, working in partnership with organisations throughout the city, and with partners from the third sector, the public sectorand and the private sectorwe are confident that we can continue to fulfil the objectives in our Corporate Plan (2019-22) that our services have a positive impact on the Welsh language In Cardiff,
~ Promoting opportunities to use the Welsh language
-
Increasing confidence and improving attitudes towards the Welsh language
-
Strengthening/increasing the use of Welsh within families
-
Supporting employment and training opportunities for young people and adults through the medium of Welsh ~ Organising Tafwyl to celebrate the Welsh language and cutture - Ensuring that Menter Caerdydd has an effective digital platform for the Welsh language - Partnership working with various bodies and organisations
By concentrating on these main priorities Menter Caerdydd will continue to play a key role in the work of promoting the Welsh language in the city and will deal with the main strategic priorities of the Welsh Goverment of reaching a miltion Welsh speakers by 2050, and Cardiff Council's Bilingual Cardiff Strategy. Moving forwards, much of our face to face offers have begun to retum, although some of our digital offers continue to be delivered and enjoyed due to their popularity and keenness of some of our audience to remain online. We will adapt our offers in line with the needs of our customers to ensure that there are opportunities for all that want to engage with our work to continue.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concer for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for Issue. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the company’s ability to continue as a going concem In excaptional or unforeseen circumstances.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other Information Is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained In the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement In the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Page 6
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF MENTER CAERDYDD
Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, wa have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
-
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept or retums adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made: or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or - the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companias exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or In preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such Internal control as the trustees determine Is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible forassessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financlal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and fo issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) wil always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Based on our understanding of both the company and industry, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations, including those related to UK tax legislation and considered the extent to which any non-compliance might have on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and ensured that all those involved In the audit undergo regular update training, including on how to identify or recognise fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inaccurate journals. We addressed these risks by carrying out specifically targeted procedures, which included:
-
discussions with management, including consideration of any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and/or fraud;
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance;
-
the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
-
evaluating the reasons for any large or unusual transactions;
-
reviewing disclosures in the financial statements to underlying supporting documentation
As outlined above, reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantees that a material misstatement may always be detected. The extent fo which our proceduras are capable of detecting material misstatements or irregularities, including fraud, is therefore subject to the inherent limitations of an audit. There is therefore, an unavoidable risk that a material misstatement may not come to light, in particular, where non-compliance with laws and regulations are remote from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements or where fraud or errors arise due to intentional misrepresentation, forgery, concealment, management override and/or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
