Wilhln the Centre, we leas8 offices lo small businesses to whom we also provide office Services and provide a firsl class childc81'e facility. During the year, we recelved substantial grant fundlng lo anable the capacity of the chlldcare activity, known as Trusting Hands. lo b8 increased. From DeLembeT 2020 to February 2025, we assisted the NHS covid and MMR vaccination programmes by enabling part of the Canolfan to acl as a mass vaccination hub.

We continued to recelve enquiries from a variely of local organlsallons and Individuals, and since Ihe Spring of 2025 we hav8 slowly been able lo recommence offering our facililies to Ihe local community once again, The outstanding 8chlevemenl of the year was the extension of (he Canolfan, with the full support of our landlords, Swansea Council, lo incr88se Ihè capacity of the Trusling Hands Day Nursery from 66 r8gislered places to 94. This was achieved with the addltion of a self-contained multi-purpose modular bulldlng lo provlde 24 child places and buildlng niodificallons lo the exlsling bullding lo allow a permanent change of use to secure 24 pae.es and add a further 4. The work was all Gompleled by Ihe erid of the financial year followlng approval of a grant of £352,845 under the Chlldcare and Early Years Capital Grant scheme, assessed against the Welsh Governments Capital Programme's crlteria and Swansea Councll's Childcare Sufficiency Assessment. The total cosls of Ihe development amounted to just over £409k, wllh the shortfall of approximately £57k met from the r.h8rily's reserves.

We are exlremely grateful lo Swansea Council . the Welsh Govemment, our architects IPlan Architecture. the conlraclors G6 Developments Ltd and others for all their efforts in meeting the regulatory, financial and construction deadlines throughout the process.

Costs continued lo rise with furlher subslanlial Increases in the national mlnlrnurn and living wage, partially offsel by increases in fees charged ID parents. Vve continue to be very gialeful for parents, understanding of the need for such measures, which are necessary for the financial resilience of the nursery, withln the context of the ongoing cosl of Ilving crisis. The situation h8s been fLtrther pxacerbated in 202J-26 wilh the national incra2ses in national insurance contributions paid by 8mployer5.

Flnanclal revlew The net surplus for the year was £363,679, Includlng a net surplus of £5,459 on uiirestrict6d fLinds and a nel surplus of £358,220 on restricted funds after traiisfers.

This resulted in free reserves (after long term liabilillesl deGreasing by £38,600. which 8t 31 MaTch 2025 represented a reductlon to 2.4 rnonlhs of operating costs. bul the truste8s anticipate that the ability to improve results in fulure years has been enhanced. Golng concern As with many charilable organlsalions. the challenge going forward is lo ensure sustainability of the organisation so that ils charitable objectlves can be mel as much as possible Ihrough resources generated internally. Virlually all of the charity's resuurce5 are internally generated, bul Ihere contlnue lo be significant challenges In relation lo meeting the increasing core costs of Ihe organlsallon, which cre81e malerlal uncertainlies over future results and cash flows. The trusteesldirectors are continually taking steps to improve the charlty's position. Some of the furlhei Increases in slafl costs, due lo Segislalive charbges, have been offset by an increase in fees charged. The Trustees have continu&d to pursug fijrther income opportunities, including expansion of the nursery in ordpr lo Increase its registered capacily. An operating surplus was again 8chieved in the year, and the trusleesldirectors have a reasonable expectation Ihal the charitable compaiiy's resources will continue lo be sufficient to conlinue operalions in the foreseeable future as a golng CDncern.
