## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **Asset-Based Community Development in Action**
Our ABCD approach remains central to our ethos and operations. In 2024, we continued to:
Recognise and celebrate individual gifts, talents, and contributions
Encourage and support local leadership and initiative
Create opportunities for mutual aid and peer support
Foster a culture of celebration and shared success
## **Key Achievements**

We delivered dynamic youth programmes that nurtured creativity, resilience, and leadership. Initiatives included Winter Youth, Ffos Y Fran Youth, Holiday Open Access, and One Stop Youth.

## **6. Environmental Sustainability**
Through EGIN, Wild Isles, and Lettuce Talks, we promoted environmental stewardship and sustainable living practices within our community.
## **Navigating Funding Challenges and Planning for Sustainability**
As we approach the end of 2024, Twyn Community Hub is entering a period of significant transition. A substantial proportion of our current funding streams are scheduled to conclude by December, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the organisation.
We are acutely aware of the broader economic pressures facing the voluntary and community sector, including rising costs, increased demand for services, and a competitive funding landscape. These realities highlight the importance of strategic planning, adaptability, and community engagement as we move forward.
In response, the Hub is actively exploring all available options to mitigate the risk of service reductions and staff redundancies. Our priority is to maintain continuity of support for our community while safeguarding the wellbeing of our team and volunteers.
To achieve this, we are undertaking a comprehensive review of our organisational aims and objectives. This process will involve:

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
Twyn Community hub are keenly aware of the need to secure our viability beyond the immediate future. In order to be able to provide reliable services over the longer term. Twyn community hub must be able to absorb setbacks and take advantage of change and opportunity. We provide for this by putting aside, when we afford it, some of our current income as a reserve against future uncertainties.
A minimum level of reserves required for 1 quarter = £15,000. Twynyrodyn Community Hub accepts that where possible it will need absorb setbacks and take advantage of change and opportunity. Twyn Community provide for this by putting aside, when we afford it, some of our current income as a reserve against future uncertainties.
The charity currently holds free reserves of £2,131 (2023: £Nil). The target reserves level, as stated above, is £15,000 being required spend for one financial quarter. The charity will make every effort in the coming years to increase free reserve to this level..
Twyn community hub will continue to fundraise, welcome donations and use our premises for rental to retain and build reserves. Since our hire charges are significantly cheaper than other local halls, there is unlikely to be a problem increasing our rates if we need too.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TWYN COMMUNITY HUB (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS TWYN ACTION GROUP YOUTH CLUB)**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Twyn Community HUB (Previously known as Twyn Action Group Youth Club)**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Twyn Community HUB (Previously known as Twyn Action Group Youth Club) (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do 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.
I 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Legal form**
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation, registered in England and Wales.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
The following specific policies are applied:
**Voluntary income** received by way of grants, gifts or donation is included in full on receipt unless it is subject to a condition when it is treated as deferred income.
**Deferred income** . Income or grants received in advance are held as deferred income and carried forward to future accounting periods to be released when the defined purpose of the work or project have been completed, approved or certified.
**Gifts in kind** are included in the income and expenditure account where they are applied in carrying out charitable activities, where the company would otherwise have to purchase the donated facility and the benefit is both quantifiable and material. The quantifiable benefit is shown as both incoming and expended resources within the appropriate funds. Where the gift is an asset it is treated as income and taken to stock or fixed assets as appropriate. The value of services provided by volunteers is not quantified.
**Investment income** is included when receivable.
**Other income.** This is contributions from restricted funds towards core costs of the organisation. An unrestricted designated fund is to be used to hold all such contributions prior to them being expended.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at historic cost less accumulated depreciation. Grant receipts which fund fixed asset acquisitions are taken to restricted funds and the appropriate depreciation charge is made against those funds over the expected useful life of the asset.
Improvements to property - 4% on cost Plant & machinery - 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **20. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES**
There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **21. ULTIMATE CONTROLLING PARTY**
The Charity is controlled by its Trustees.
## **22. GIFTS IN KIND**
The value of volunteer time is not quantified in terms of money but the time contributed by volunteers is an invaluable resource in terms of the outstanding contribution made by them.
The number of hours contributed by volunteers in the year was approximately 6,000 (2023: 6,000).
## **23. GOING CONCERN**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Activities of the charity post 31st December 2024 are subject to additional funding being obtained, but the Trustees are confident this will be received.
The trustees therefore believe that the organisation's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the organisation's needs and that no material uncertainty exists.
