The Gorseinon Development Trust Ltd. 

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

## **The charity's objects** 

The objects of the charity, as set out in the memorandum and articles of association, are the promotion for the public benefit of urban and rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation, around Gorseinon and surrounding area, by a variety of means detailed in the memorandum of association. 

## **Public benefit** 

In setting the objectives and planning the activities of the charity, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, which explicitly recognises the promotion of urban and rural regeneration as a charitable purpose in the light of changing social and economic conditions. 

## **Principal Activities** 

We work with the local community by providing facilities to improve the quality of life for residents, manage and maintain the Canolfan Gorseinon, and support other charitable and community activities in the area. Within the Centre, we currently lease offices to small businesses to whom we also provide office services and provide a first class childcare facility. Since December 2020, we have continued to assist the NHS covid and latterly MMR vaccination programme by enabling part of the Canolfan to act as a mass vaccination hub. This has necessitated a reconfiguration of space within the building, leading to the curtailment of services provided by the healthy living café, and the continued suspension of being able to accommodate community groups, which ran a wide range of educational and recreational activities and the organisation of some community events. It is the Trust's intention to resume offering facilities for community groups in the future, when the local Health Board no longer require the current amount of dedicated space. We anticipate that these opportunities will arise in the latter part of 2024.

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance** 

## **Charitable activities** 

As the economy recovered from the effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic, it was gratifying to report that most of our small local business tenants were able to continue their activities. As the NHS continued using the main hall in the Canolfan as a mass vaccination centre for Gorseinon and surrounding areas, there was another twelve months of the complete cessation of other community activities, room hire and catering services in the Canolfan. As even more people are now aware of the charity's presence and the availability of its facilities in  the future, we continued to receive enquiries from a variety of local organisations and individuals which we anticipate being able to accommodate in the near future. 

Childcare provision within our Trusting Hands Day Nursery continued to expand, utilising the additional space made available within the Canolfan, which initially came about as a result of necessary changes arising from the pandemic. We continued to acquire further play and storage equipment, increase training opportunities for staff, and progress towards a more healthy and sustainable pre-school scheme as part of the local authority's drive to prevent obesity in pre-school children. Costs continued to rise with further substantial increases in the national minimum and living wage, partially offset by increases in fees charged to parents. We continue to be very grateful for parents' understanding of the need for such measures, which are necessary for the financial resilience of the nursery, within the context of the ongoing cost of living crisis. . 

Zoe Evans was appointed nursery manager from April 2023 to replace her long-serving predecessor, Caroline White who retired after 15 years in such a demanding position. We are pleased to note that Zoe has embraced the role with enthusiasm, and has continued the development of Trusting Hands as a well-loved part of the community. Opportunities continue to be given for staff development within the nursery, which will continue in the current year. 

The new nursery management software system (Famly), which was implemented early in 2023, has continued to be extremely beneficial in the development of information regularly given to parents about their child's progress, and to the nursery staff in reducing the administrative burdens in producing invoices and preparing staff rotas. This then allowed us to change to a new accounting system (Xero) from April 2023 which integrates with the Famly invoicing software. 

In the face of all these factors, we were again able to generate a surplus, despite the ever-rising cost pressures. particularly substantial increases in electricity costs. Further recruitment to the trustee board is being sought. Our website has been redeveloped and is also used to enhance staff recruitment. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial position** 

Income from the Trust's principal charitable activities increased by 17% in the year with resources expended similarly increasing by 17%. 

The charity made a surplus in the year of £65,664, giving an overall accumulated surplus at the year-end of £230,882. 

Unrestricted free reserves stood at £224,219 at 31 March 2024.

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The previously declared aim of the charity is that, over time, a reserve equivalent to three months' operating cost shall be established. After a lot of hard work by staff and trustees, the Trust has now moved to a position where it has achieved a position where free reserves cover 3.4 months of operating costs. During the current year, the trustees will review their policy with a view to identifying a range within which free reserves should lie in order to achieve financial resilience, enable the charity to manage day-to-day cash flow, and to be able to develop and expand the charity's services. 

## **Going concern** 

As with many charitable organisations, the challenge going forward is to ensure sustainability of the  organisation so that its charitable objectives can be met as much as possible through resources generated internally. Virtually all of the charity's resources are internally generated, but, in the shorter term, there continue to be significant challenges in relation to meeting the increasing core costs of the organisation, which create material uncertainties over future results and cash flows. 

The trustees/directors are continually taking steps to improve the charity's position. Some of the increases in staff costs, due to legislative changes, have been offset by an increase in fees charged. The Trustees are continuing to pursue further income opportunities, including strategies to maintain the temporary increase in registered capacity of the nursery. 

A healthy surplus was again achieved in the year, and a further operating surplus is anticipated in the 2024/25 financial year with the trustees/directors having a reasonable expectation that the charitable company's resources will continue to be sufficient to continue operations in the foreseeable future as a going concern. 

## **Future plans** 

The Trustees will continue to follow the core strategy of rebuilding the Trust's financial position in order to ensure the continued availability of the Canolfan Gorseinon for community use, secure staff employment and build a sound platform from which future community development projects can be successfully delivered. We will seek to work with the local authority, Welsh government and others to maintain and develop our community contribution. 

There have been recent exciting developments with the acceptance by Welsh government of our application through the Childcare and Early Years Capital Programme, put forward with the cooperation and support of. Swansea Council. This will allow the development of additional space at the Canolfan to expand the nursery on a more permanent basis, and will be completed by 31 March 2025. Concurrently with this structural work, we will also conduct a strategic review of all our charitable activities and seek to increase our presence in the local area, particularly as the use by the NHS of the Canolfan will cease during late 2024. It is still the longer-term intention to seek to employ a general manager to enhance the delivery of services and to implement the Trust's strategy.

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of  Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 

3. 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 

4. 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)).
