## Trustees' Summary Report and Accounts for the year 6th April 2024 to 5th April 2025 

The Society continues to maintain a close relationship with the Canal and River Trust, (CRT) who are the owners of the extant portion of the canal. We are also a member of the Inland Waterways Association (IWA), and liaise with a large number of other local and national bodies over the canal and its restoration including local councils, Swansea Bay Inland Waterway Partnership, the Neath and Tennant Canals Trust and Sustrans. 

The Society is currently financially sound. The main current risks to the society are associated with accidents both during our maintenance and restoration work and relative to our canoe operation. These are mitigated by a close attention to safe practices combined with the proper levels of insurance, measures which have resulted in no significant problems. 

The Society continues to advance its work to revitalise the canal - 

- Funding: 

A number of grants were applied for during the year 2024/25 with funding coming from the Shared Prosperity Fund for work on the Hidden Lock Site, and the Hebron Road, Swansea Canal Centre, and boat basin. 

Boat being craned into the new Boat Basin 



- The Hidden Lock, Clydach, Phase three: 

The buried Clydach Lock was unearthed and found to be in quite good condition, and work continued on the area around the lock site to get it ready for re-opening in due course. 

##  Canoes and Kayaks: 

Our Community Canoe and Kayak Hire Project entered its 11th season at Easter 2024. Youth Group hires (Brownies/Beavers/schools etc) went ahead on a number of occasions. There were a number of events run by the canoe team, these included Bunnies on Easter Sunday the Opening day of the season, Summer Fun in June, Pirates at August Bank Holiday and Spooky at Halloween. All were well attended. We were fortunate that Pirates was Funded by a grant from Swansea Council’s, Coast scheme. 



## • Green Flag Community Award: 

We were excited to receive the Green Flag Community Award for the ninth consecutive year. This award was given in recognition of the value of the canal as a green space and of the outstanding work done by our volunteers. 

- Birds and Bats: 

Several bird and bat boxes, constructed by our volunteers, were installed in various locations along the canal. It is pleasing to note the number of birds that moved in during the breeding season. 

- Volunteer Activities: 

The cornerstone of the Society’s endeavours continued to be the hours worked every Tuesday. When work was allowed, it continued come rain or shine. The work ranging from litter picking, through bank repairs to continuing to build the wall for the garden in the Hidden Lock site. Volunteers also assisted at one of the local schools with a bit of gardening and painting. 



• Our long-term aim continues to be the joining up of the Swansea, Neath and Tennant canals together with the Tawe River navigation to form a 35-mile navigation waterway. The Swansea Bay Inland Waterway Partnership, of which we are a very active member, met online at intervals throughout 2024-25 to pursue this aim. Every project on the Swansea Canal helps to bring this vision a little closer to reality.

SWANSEA CANAL SOCIETY Independent Examiner's Report 

Report to the trustees/members of Swansea Cancel Society on the accounts for the year ended Sth April 2025, Charity number 1105624 set out on Pages 3-18. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The chairty's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## Basis of Independent Examiner's statement 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no Opinion is given whether the accounts present a 'true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent Examiner's statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1) Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or

SWANSEA CANAL SOCIETY Independent Examiner's Report 

Report to the trustees/members of Swansea Cancel Society on the accounts for the year ended Sth April 2025, Charity number 1105624 set out on Pages 3-18. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The chairty's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## Basis of Independent Examiner's statement 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no Opinion is given whether the accounts present a 'true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent Examiner's statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1) Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
