Partnership working is strong and agencies such as the Health Visitor come to the Centre on a regular basis. The staff have provided a variety of activities and sessions for the children and their families and work in partnership with Plant Dewi, ICC, Flying Start, Perinatal Mental Health and other providers to provide parents and children with information sessions together with practical activities and workshops. ## Activities General activities at the Centre have included cooking, gardening, themed art and craft sessions, messy play, play-day activities, fun-days, nature walks, mindfulness sessions, home safety sessions and much more. Healthy eating and active lifestyles are promoted at the centre ; and there are there is a free healthy snack provided. Parents have enjoyed the healthy eating and low budget meals that are demonstrated in the health promotion sessions, including the introduction of walking sessions aimed at families when it was safe to resume face to face sessions during the Covid-19 pandemic. ## The typical weekly structure includes: - e Baby group on a Thursday morning gives parents and babies the space to enjoy free play, messy play and crafts e.g. baby keepsakes. - e Together Time on a Thursday afternoon for parents and their children which incorporates a craft and cooking activity as well as various play opportunities. - e Parent and Toddler group is held all day on a Friday with free play, crafts, messy play, stories, songs, dancing and lunch club and split into two sessions. - e After School club is held on a Friday at 3.00pm until 4pm for parents and their schoo! age children. During the Covid—19 pandemic, we had to close the Centre doors on March 20 2021 and adapied our way of working to provide online support using Facebook, Instagram, Zoom and WhatsApp. When it was safe to do so, we resumed face to face sessions and based ourselves within the local community in safe outdoor areas for families. Links with Flying Start, Health Visitors, Maes Y Morfa School, Jellitotz Nursery, Morfa Residents Committee, Perinatal Mental Health Service as well as other professional agencies such as Legacy Project, DWP, Wales PPA and Communities First are very strong and we continue to work closely with these agencies and families within Morfa and the surrounding areas. ## Highlights ° The centre has attracted a number of funding pots to sustain the setting over the last year ° Families have adapted well to the new ‘blended’ model of delivery although our most popular sessions when available are still face to face sessions. They also appreciate the health benefits of going on local walks and visiting parks to keep families fit and active and the opportunity to meet in a safe environment. 6 / ## MORFA FAMILY CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES- continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021 ## CHARITY COMMISSION NUMBER 1102670 e Local families are feeling less isolated due to attending Morfa Family Centre.

The trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The greatest area of risk to the effectiveness of the charity is loss of grant funding. In the event of such a loss the trustees wish to be able to maintain services for at least 3 months to enable other sources of funding to be secured or to make changes to existing services. The trustees therefore feel that reserves should normally approximate to 3 — 6 months of the largest grant. This currently equates to approximately £7,082 - £14,164. As of 31 May 2021, reserves held equated to £5,500, which is below this range. The trustees are considering ways to increase unrestricted funds and continue to monitor reserves on an annual basis. ## FINANCIAL REVIEW During 2020-21 the centre was funded by Awards for All, Community Foundation Wales, Foyle Foundation, The Moondance Foundation , Oakdale Trust, Waterloo Foundation, and unrestricted donations. The charity is grateful for the support of its funders. ## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 7 # MORFA FAMILY CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021 ## CHARITY COMMISSION NUMBER 1102670 ## Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Morfa Family Centre | report to the trustees my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 May 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 11. ## Responsibilities and Basis of the Report As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). | report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, | have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. : Independent examiner’s statement | have completed my examination. | confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: ° the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or ° the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or ° the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. | 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.
