| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Post pandemic saw the full time return of the Association’s member sports clubs use of the Pontardawe Recreation ground facilities, with a broad programme of fixtures being fulfilled. Members of the public continued to enjoy the use of the maintained green spaces around the site. A new club joined the Association, Glais FC, adding further resilience and broader use of the site but would not become active until August 2023 (beyond the date scope of this report). A reconfiguration of the pavilion dressing rooms was completed to accommodate this extra team, with the toilet cubicles receiving refurbishment and providing improved facilities for all users. The football dugouts and surrounding fencing were refurbished, whilst the storage containers were put into use. The Heart of the Valley show returned to the site in September, proving an increasingly popular community event. Grants were received during the year, Neath Port |
