FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy and objectives

We aim to build our contingency fund to cover at least six month running costs.

Relationship between expenditure and the charities key objectives

Core staff salaries.

Building maintenance and running costs.

Reserves policy

The company is working towards setting up a contingency fund, if funding allows, to cover 6 months running costs. The current targeted reserves is therefore £114,763.

Free reserves have been used over this financial period to fund essential core staff salaries and running costs, however, at the end of the year free reserves showed a balance of £118,328 (2023: £113,420) which is in excess of this target.

The trustees will continue monitoring costs and attempt to increase core hall hire income together with attempting to identify further sources of funding for the future and increase free reserves to the targeted level.

Principal financial management policies

All finances are recorded using the QuickBooks Accounting package & Sage Payroll.

All expenditure over £100 must be passed by the committee.

All cheques must have 2 signatures of 3 people designated by the Management Committee.

Funds in deficit

There are no funds materially in deficit.

Going Concern

The Charity has secured a Service Level Agreement up until the 31st March 2026 and the Charity would like to thank Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council for their continued support.

The Charity has also secured funding for various project throughout the year and has also increased hire costs and maintained current users, while securing new users.

As a result, these accounts will be prepared on a going concern basis.

FUTURE PLANS

Meet the outcomes of our Business Plan, together with meeting the needs of the community.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WILLOWS CENTRE TROEDYRHIW

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Willows Centre Troedyrhiw ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
