The charlty's main actlvities
We work with the local coinmunity by providing facilities lo improve the quallly of life for residents, managc and
maintain the CanolfBn Gorseinon, and supporl olher charitable and cofflmunily activities in the area. 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. W& have now bee able to restart olfering lacilities to accommodate groups to run a wide range of
educ8tional and re¢re8lional activlti6s and the organisation of somè communlty events.
Plibllc beneflt statement
In setting the obi8¢1ives and plannlng th8 activities of the charity, the trustees have given careful consid8ralion
lo Ihc Charity Cominission's geiierdl guidance on public benefil, which expllcilly r@cognls8s the promotion of
urban and rural regeneration as a charitable purpose iri the ligl)l of changing social arid economic condStlon$.
Achlevoments and perfurmance
The NHS continued usiiig Ihe main hall Iii the Canolfan as a mass vaccination cei Itre fur Gorseinon arld
surrounding areas uy urilil February 2025, so 2024-25 s8w a furtFi&r year of Ihe coi?Iplete cessativn of other
r.ommunily 8Ctivitips, room hire and cateriiig S*3Tvices in the Canolfan. 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. The riew facilities open8d during the curreni financial year, following conclusion of Ihe
relevant building control formalitles and approval by Care Inspeclorale Wales. 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.
We also conllnued lo acquire further play and slorage equipment, increase tralning opporlLinilies for st8ff, and
progr8SS towards a mDre healthy and suslainable pre-school scheme as part of the local authority's drive to
prevenl obesity in pre-school children. 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.

Achlevemeiits and perforinance {contlnuod)
In the face of the disruplions caused by tliese develoi)Iiivnts, we were again able lo geiierate an operc11ing
surplus. despite the ever-rfsing cost pres8ures. Further recruitineiit lo11)e IrLJSte8 boai'd is being souglil.
Plans for future periods
The Truslees will continue lo follow the cor8 strategy of rebuildlng Ilie Tnjst's financial position in order to
eiisure the contiiiued availabilily ol thè Cai)olfan Gorseinon for Loniniunity use, secure slaff ernploymenl and
build a sound platform frum which future communlly development projects can be successfully delivered. We
will seek to work with the loLal aulhorily. Welsh govemment and others to maintain and develop our commuiiity
contribution. Thls has been helped with the opening of the new nursery places, whlch has bèen very w811
recelved by staff and parents, aiid of coursè the children theins6lvesl
The trustees will contlnue to conduct 8 wlde-rangln9 Stralegl¢ review of all our charitable aclivities and seek to
increase further our presence in the local area.11 is still Ihe longer-lerm intention lo seek to employ a generel
mana4Jer to enhance the delivery of services and to implement the Trust's strategy.
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.
Income from ch8rilable activities increabed by 7.3010 10 £908k. Overall incoine Iricreused by £429k larLJely du8 to

Reserve5 poIIGy
The charitls free reserves, excluding fixed as8els, at the yaar end were £185,617,
After several years working lowards eslabllshlng a reserve equivalent lo three months, operallng costs, thls was
achiev8d by 31 March 2024. This enabled efforts durlng 2024-25 largely to be dlrectsd to increasing capacily at
the Canolfan as a prelude to growlng core acllvllies. 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.
