Llyfrgell Gymunedol Cei Newydd/New Quay Community Library

Report of the trustees for the period ending 31 May 2023

The Trustees of New Quay Community Library present their annual report and audited accounts for the period ended 31 May 2023 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the trust deed and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) .

OUR AIMS

The Library was registered as a Charity by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales on 16[th] October 2015 and operates under our Constitution dated 1 September 2015

OUR OBJECTIVES

To advance the education of the public in New Quay and its surrounding area by the provision of a lending library.
The provision of facilities for the benefit of the inhabitants of New Quay and the surrounding area for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances; or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitants.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

New Quay Community Library runs the library service, using services from Ceredigion County Council, for the benefit of the local community.

Financial support is provided by New Quay Town Council for the running costs of the existing services. The Trustees are responsible for securing funding for any new services or initiatives they wish to introduce. The Trustees are also responsible for the management and administration of the finances of New Quay Community Library.

As planned, the Library moved into New Quay Memorial Hall, and opened on 2[nd] November 2021. We now operate from a dedicated room which is more easily accessible to people in the area. The room is warmer and more welcoming than the old Library building which was in a bad state of repair. Toilets and running water also means that we will be able to run events in the future.

The goals for the year were to increase awareness of the new location and looking to introduce new sessions, opening a Saturday morning once a month, and also on a Friday morning when the Market is at the Hall. Both of these have been achieved;

though there is still much work to do. We will be 10 in 2024, and we intend to use this milestone to further increase awareness of the services provided.

The Library currently has 344 members of which 62 are under 16. 26 people joined the library during the year, and 6 people ceased to use us.

FUTURE PLANS

The move to New Quay Memorial Hall now provides New Quay with a warm and easily accessible Library. The Charity will be 10 years old on 1[st] June 2024, and we will be looking to run events to mark the occasion, and to increase awareness of what the Library offers and thereby increase members.

The other main priority is to increase the number of volunteers, so that the Service can look at opening additional hours when other regular groups are at the Hall.

The Trustees would like to attract more people to work as Librarians, but are also looking to recruit Trustees, and others with specialist skills to be involved in areas such as Social Media and Marketing.

Our future plans are financed primarily by the financial support provided by New Quay Town Council and from our reserves.

OUR FINANCES

The financial statements show reserves of 2,028, of which £1199 are restricted funds, £661 of which can be used for the benefit of the users to the service. The Charity also has £830 which is an unrestricted reserve.

As a Charity we are entitled to 100% relief on our Business Rates.

ACCESS POLICY

The Library facilities are open to anyone who lives in Ceredigion. The new location is accessible to all having parking right outside and a ramp in to the building.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Constitution allows for 3 – 6 members for the Board of Trustees. The Board currently consists of 5 members. The Trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of the Library. The day to day management is undertaken by the voluntary Library Co-ordinator, and the Library is run by a group of Volunteers.

All trustees give their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year.

CHARITY TRUSTEES

The Charity Trustees of NEW QUAY COMMUNITY LIBRARY are appointed by the existing Board of Trustees. Due to the lack of new volunteers, the existing Trustees have remained in post.

The current Trustees are:

Sharon Evans Chair Vacant Secretary Marie Spackman Treasurer Bethan Jones Trustee Appointed by Volunteers Julian Evans Trustee Appointed by New Quay Town Council
