Trustees' Report
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 19 January 2006 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association as amended by special resolution dated 7 November 2006. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. The company acquired charitable status on 6 December 2006.
Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in the accounts. In an effort to maintain a broad skill mix, members of the Management Committee are requested to provide a list of their skills.
Trustee Induction and Training
Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity because of their local experience. New trustees are expected to familiarise themselves with the documentation and invited and encouraged to attend training sessions as identified and required.
Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission’s guide “the Essential Trustee” are used as a follow up to these sessions. This is available to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles, the latest financial statements and policies. Trustees are expected to attend training on issues such as safeguarding, health and safety, employment legislation, equality and diversity, and finance if appropriate.
The Obligations of Management Committee members
The main documents, which set out the operational framework for the charity include the Memorandum of Agreement and Articles of Association, and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts and future plans and objectives.
Risk Management
A risk register has been established and is updated as required and at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have highlighted the need to develop a strategic business plan which will emphasis the need for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre.

Trustees' Report
Organisational Structure
The Management Committee is responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the Committee has fourteen members from a variety of backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity. Day to day responsibility for the provision of the services rest with the Chair and the Manager. The Chair is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. The Manager is responsible for the day to day operational management of Canolfan y Bont and the Partnership including the submission of funding applications, monitoring of projects, management of volunteers, service delivery and to ensure that skills and working practices are developed in line with good practice. The Manager also considers ways in which all projects undertaken by the Partnership can remain sustainable.
Related Parties
Insofar as it is complimentary to the charity’s objectives; the charity is guided by both local and national policy. The representation of local organisations within a range of groups has proved invaluable to the charity in establishing links across the wider community and identifying relevant national and local policy initiatives and the potential and range of funding.
Covid-19 Crisis
For the most part of 2020 we, alongside the entire country, were presented with significant challenges associated with Covid-19. As an organisation we rapidly adapted to new ways of working to meet the Covid-19 related needs for support and assistance within our community. Our staff and volunteers rose to the challenge of putting in place an emergency response project to provide support to all those who were shielding, isolating or generally vulnerable. At this point, and as Chair of the organisation, I would like to thank our staff and volunteers and Trustees and note their dedication and commitment to supporting people in such difficult circumstances.
Vision:
To develop Pontarddulais as an attractive place where people have a good quality of life and where people choose to visit.
Aims
To improve the quality of life for the community, developing inclusive quality services and promoting a sense of pride and community spirit.
To improve the environment so that Pontarddulais is an attractive place to live, that recognises the historical influences, offers a range of quality services and is a place that people choose to visit.
To support and promote economic development locally to ensure that there are adequate job prospects and to support the employability of local people, working towards funding suitable placements for young adults with learning disabilities.
Improve communication both within the town and the wider area.
Encourage and nurture vulnerable members of the Community to get involved, particularly those who are socially isolated, elderly, and those with learning disabilities who find it difficult to fit in with mainstream activities.
Develop and communicate an ongoing evaluation for all activities undertaken by the Partnership.

How our activities deliver public benefit
All our charitable activities focus on promoting communication and involvement so that any development/initiatives reflect the views and needs of the community. We are working towards an Asset Based Community Development approach to identify and gather information to provide community cohesion.
Project Activity Delivered and who benefited from our services:
Railway Station: Work with U3A and Merched y Wawr to maintain the planters and entrance to the station as and when Covid-19 restrictions allowed
MUGA: The MUGA, whilst in situ, is in need of upgrading and grants will be sought to facilitate this in the 2021/22 period. Other new projects and developments will also be considered.
Coed Bach Park: support to the Friends of Coed Bach Park group in applying for funding for new environmental developments and ecological improvements and the provision of improved areas for children and the disabled.
Cooking & Nutrition Project: Employing staff to work with vulnerable people including children to improve their cooking and budgeting skills and have some fun (this project was curtailed at the end of February 2020 due to the pandemic).
Food Bank: Giving people an opportunity to deal with emergency situations as they arise.
Wider community support: provision of support to people seeking employment or wishing to improve their quality of life and financial situation. Support to other organisations in their quest for funding towards sustainability.
Finance: Throughout 2020 the Partnership were unable to generate income due to the pandemic. We are hopeful that 2021 will be a more prosperous year and that our income generation activities can continue. Grant funding and donations throughout the year have bolstered the organisation throughout the pandemic.

Trustees' Report
Canolfan Y Bont Centre: Because of the pandemic a decision was taken by the Manager in consultation with the Management Team to close the charity shop. Consideration as to how the facility can re-open safely in the future are currently being progressed. During the pandemic Canolfan y Bont was repurposed to house the services needed by the Emergency Community Response to the pandemic. For most of the year, the Centre was closed to the general public however staff, volunteers and the Management Team ensured that it remained open to deliver essential services including the food bank which, at the height of the pandemic, delivered over 3,000 emergency food parcels. Prior to the pandemic, new LED lighting panels were installed throughout the ground floor of the building together with general redecoration in preparation for the possible re-opening of the Centre.
Canolfan y Bont has, in the past 10 years, expanded its range of activities helping it to become self-sustaining. Work is ongoing to raise the profile of the Centre which will continue to offer a diverse range of activities including learning opportunities for adults of all ages, and the promotion of digital inclusion for all ages. Work is focused on engaging the entire demographic that is Pontarddulais and the surrounding area. Promotion and marketing activities continue and will develop further through the use of social media; the internet; leaflets and a website.
The main impact of Canolfan y Bont is the retention of a local skills, learning and community resource centre for Pontarddulais which offers a variety of agencies an excellent facility in which to meet the needs of the population. It provides local people with easier access to training and learning opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of local people and provides accessibility to work. It hosts a food bank and provides welfare support to the community.
Financial review
Against the backdrop of Covid-19 and a reduction in the opportunity to generate income, the Pontarddulais Partnership has continued to develop and access grant funding supported by Swansea Council for Voluntary Services.
Principal Funding Sources
The principle funding sources for the charity have been by way of grants and donations from the Baily Thomas Foundation, Mynydd y Gwair (Wind Farm), Communities Aid Foundation, Western Power Distribution, Welsh Government Food Poverty Fund, Neighbourly, Masonic Benevolent Fund, Tesco Bags for Help, Admiral Insurance, St Bride’s Catholic Church, Independent Food Aid Network, Pontlliw & Tircoed Community Council, Pontarddulais Town Council, SCVS, Mawr Community Council, and Swansea City Council. We also benefitted from monetary donations from a number of local businesses and community members.
Investment Policy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount of unrestricted funds in reserves each year, most of the charity’s funds are restricted by the projects identified in the short term.
Reserves Policy
The Management Committee did examine the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation and decided a policy was required to agree how funds not committed by grant funders or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be managed. A reserves policy has been developed and implemented whereby 6-months of operational reserves are restricted.
Plans for Future Periods
The Partnership needs to continue to develop:
- Pontarddulais as a community hub providing a range of quality services for all generations.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Pontarddulais Partnership
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 10 to 24
.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by share capital, incorporated in Wales.
The address of its registered office is: Canolfan Y Bont 28 Dulais Road Pontarddulais Swansea SA4 8PA
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 24 August 2021.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Pontarddulais Partnership meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Page 14
The Pontarddulais Partnership
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £50.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Page 15
The Pontarddulais Partnership
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class
Office equipment
Depreciation method and rate 25% reducing balance
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Foreign exchange
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at that date.
The results of overseas operations are translated at the average rates of exchange during the period and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation of the opening net assets and results of overseas operations are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
Other exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they arise except for:
1) exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks (see above);
2) exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in other comprehensive income; and
3) in the case of the consolidated financial statements, exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported under equity.
