OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The purposes of the charty as set out in its goveming document are that the
Association is estsblished for:
the relief and assistan￿ of children, young adults, families and carers in need by
reason of leaming difficutty or disabilty in South Wales, in particular bul not
exclusively by providing and arranging resptte breaks. recreational trips, events and
activities.
Thrive Trustees are all volunteers and are not paid staff.
Membership is open to any family wtth a childtyoung person with a disability.
Membership is currently charged at £20 per family per year. Trustees meet at regular
intervals to discuss the aims of the groups and to ensure policies are being followed.
All members are able to attend regular trustee meetings on request except for any
confidential issues.
The main activities thrive provides fall into three categories
1) During school holidays Thrive arranges activitiesleventsftrips for our families. We
try to have an activity of some type on most Vleek days during the holiday periods.

TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 Ma￿h 2023 Icontinuedl
Most of these activities and events are heavily subsidised by the char5ty. Families
pay towards covering the costs of any activitylevent Ihat they take part in.
The activities are planned and run by parent volunteers
2) We also continue to run a holiday home that provides our families wf(h short
breaks at rates that are considerably lower than would normally be available. Many
of our faMil￿S simply cannot afford to go on holiday andlor are concerned about the
suitability of accommodation for their disabled family members. The holiday home
can also be used by families for a short break from their caring role.
31 During the term time. Thrive Cardiff provides exclusive soft play sessions for our
families to attend. These sessions are Closed to the public so that our families are
able to relax in a safe, secure space where they are not judged or discriminated
against. These sessions are also subsKlised.
We confinTr the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on
public benefit. Trustees are regularly reminded of guidance issued by the charty
commission. All activities are planned following the public benefit guidelines.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Events, Trips and Play Sessions
Activities throughout this year have included bowling. fishing, walks, sporting
activities, pottery, craft, a Jubilee paty and many others. We have also run a number
of theatre trips including our popular tradition of attending the Christmas pantomime
at the New Theatre in Cardiff. There have been 5 day trips this year
Grants and Donations
There have been no grants recEived during this financial period.
A donation of £5786 was re￿iVed from the Hollies After School Club Charity from
funds left over after they disbanded.
Holiday Home
Bookings for the holiday home were lower during this year and the Trustees will be
looking into addressing this over the next year. The heating system still needs to be
replaced and some basic maintenance work will be carried out during 2023 including
the repair or replacement of some window untts_ A total of 28 breaks over 117 days
were taken by families during this period. The Trustees intend to have the property
redecorated in more up to date colours to improve the overall holiday experience.
Membership
At the end of January 2023. we were still supporting over 100 families. Our families
continue to aC￿$S our wide range of ath'vities. Members have the abilty to book a
holiday at our holiday home from March unb"l December at a reduced rate.

Volunteers
The Trustees would like to thank our volunteers who assist with hosting and
organising events. Our volunteers have again this year supported the trustees. and
they are invaluable to Thrive.
Child Pmtection Issues
No issues were reported. All Trustees have DBS ￿rtIficateS and safeguarding
training has been undertaken by most of the trustees.
Complaints
We are pleased to report that no fomial complaints were received. Some issues
were raised regarding incidents during the soft play sessions and these were
resolved infonnally by trustees. with the families involved.
Going Concem and Post-Balan¢e Sheet Events
The charity's reserves have reduced over the last 2 years but we continue to be in
an overall healthy position_ The trustees intend to look at fundraising so that we can
continue to support our families during the cutrent cost of living difficulties.
We will seek input from our members regarding the type of activities they would
prefer and will review the subsidy for every event in order to use the charity's money
to best effect. The annual membership fee will remain at its current rate of £20 at the
next renewal date.
The holiday home is in need of updating and Trustees are actively arranging this at
the current time. The Trustees also intend to review the costs involved in maintaining
the Holiday Home so that an appropriate amount is charged to members who book a
holiday. The Holiday Home charge will remain well below commercial holiday let
levels.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial perfomiance of the charity is shown in the attached receipts and
payments account and statement of assets and liabilities.
In the year to 31 March 2023 Thrive Cardrff receipts V￿re £18,058 {2022 £39.718).
Payments for the year were £25,903 (2022 £44.647). There was a deficit for the
year of £7,845 (2022 £4,929).
Receipts were lower than in 2022, partly because the charity received no grants
during the year. Reduced income from the holiday home also contributed to the
increased deficit compared to the previous year.
The unrestricted cash reserNes of £50.473 at the year end mean that Thrive Cardiff
remains in a positive financial position. These reserves mean that the charity can
Continue as a going concem and some of the cash held can be used to finan￿ the
charity's ongoing aclivities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Thrive Cardrff was registered as a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation
(Registered CIO'.1168563) in August 2016 and commenced trading as the new CIO
in April 2017 having taken over the assets, liabilities and activities of the predecessor
charity.
The CIO is govemed by its constitution and managed by ts trustees, who are
unremunerated. During the period April 2022 to March 2023. trustees were e￿Cted
by the board but the CIO has changed its goveming document from a Foundation
CIO to an Association CIO. This means that from September 2023 trustees will on
again be elected by the charity's members.
All trustees are requested to complete a DBS Disclosure and also undertake
safeguarding training where appropriate.
Throughout the year the Trustees continued to action and review our policies which
are in place to safeguard our member families and to protect Thrive as a charity. The
current financial climate for small charits'es is difficult and the twstees intend to
develop a risk strategy and a fundraising strategy to protect the charity into the
future, ensuring that it remains financially heaEthy.
