Report of the Trustees
for tha Year Ended 31 March 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Family Mediation Cymru is a charitable incorporated organisation that provides family mediation
seNices to Cardiff, Newport and surrounding areas. Thè Charity d06s not hav& any trading
subsidiaries.
The impact of the pandemic of 2020 and 2021 on demand foi. mediation is difficult to assess.
Whilst the strain imposed on family relationship by the pandemic would be thought to increase
divorce, other factors such as the functioning of the family courts and the UK Government's
voucher sch@m& also have an effect on demand for mediation. One impact which has endured is
the way services are provided online which is now how the majority of mediation is carried out.
Originally online provision, as opposed to face to face meetings, was done for social distancing,
but this has contlnued and for many clients is the preferred way to conduct mediation. Gradually
demand for seNices increased suGh that 2022123 generated a surplus compared to the previous
yearfs breakeven position and Famlly Medlation Cymru has continued wlth a sury)lus for 2024125
although at a redU￿d level. The UK government vouchar sGh8me has enabled more people to use
mediation, whicli is a positive, but the scheme itself placed addltlonal demands on admlnistration.
Critical to the provision of mediation to meet dernand has been the need for more mediators.
Family Mediation Cymru has managed to develop trained mediation internally but the need for
more trained mediators to be recruited continues to be ongoing issue.
Tliere were no serious incidents that required reporting to the Charity Comml8sion durlng 2024125.
All eligible staff have had a Disclosijre and Barring SeNice {DBS) check,
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The primary sourc68 of funding wer& Legal Aid Agency (L4A), and fee paying clients. Fep paying
clients are those who are not eligible for public funding under the contract with the LAA, and are
charged a rate calculated in accordance with their personal income, as agreed by th6 Trustees.
The Charity does not work with a professioiial fund raiser nor work with a commercial partlGipator.
The Charity did not receive any income in this accounting period from outside the UK.
Expendituro is primarily salaries of mediators and support staff providing mediation services with
associated running expenses. Excluding Trustees, the Charity did not amploy volunt8@rs.
The accounts show a surplus at 31st Marc'h 2025 of £6,378 (2023124: surplus £4,668) on total
IIICOn18 of £278,420 {2023124' £251,120). This has enablod the unrestricted reseNe balanco to
increase to £67,509 held at 31st March 2025. The Charity has a policy to keep in reserve sufficient
funds to cover three months expenditure which would bo approximately £68,000 and therefore this
was within tolerable limits for 2024125.
Comparison of finances 2022123 to 2023124 showed a 8 % increase in income compared to an
increase of 120/0 in expenditure. For 2024125 this growth was approximat81y 10 % for income and
100/0 for expenditure. If the organisation can continue to generate surplus then this can be used to
expand and improve services.
A n'sk assessrnent of the service is reviewed by the Trustee management commiltee, inc,luding
such matters as child protection, staff issues, financial safeguards, and the reserves policy.
Professional Indemnity Insurance for Staff and Truslees is in place. There were no expenses paid
to Trustees during the year.

Report of. the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The UK Govemment policy direction has remained to increase mediatlon. The Government
response in January 2024 to the consuttation supporting earlier resolution of prlvate family law
arrangements was a commitment to continue with Ihe voucher scheme. Also to adopt measures to
enable child Inclusive mediation and to remov6 exemptioiis to increase the number of MIAMS.
These measures ought to increase demand for mediation. The recrultment and training of
professional qualified medlators remains a key objectlve to me6t demand. There is also the
potential to offer services such as training where there is capacity in the office accommodation.
The Charity will thereforo coiitinue to provide mediation services to the communitles of Cardlff,
Newport and the surrounding areas and hope to maintain and increase our service provision.
Given the online nature of much of mediation now, if Provision is available then opportunities
further afield for expanding the servlc8 will be considered.
