OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objects for which the charity is established, as set out in its governing document, are: To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Upper Afan Valley and the surrounding area the provision of facilities for wellbeing, self-improvement, 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, primarily but not exclusively through the provision of a swimming pool and associated facilities.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year: The Charity has been established to subsidise the running of the Afan Valley Swimming Pool which has been transferred from the ownership of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council to Neath Port Talbot College Group (Llandarcy Park Ltd). The purpose of the company is to raise funds and promote the use of the facility so that the pool can remain open.

The main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit: The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity. The Charity supports a number of projects for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Upper Afan Valley, and some of the benefits of these projects are detailed below.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Charity raised over £34,900 in the UK which was used in support of our projects. The activities of the Charity during the year has enabled the Afan Valley Swimming Pool to remain open for the benefit of the inhabitants of the local, and surrounding, community. Without the support of this Charity these leisure facilities would have been lost.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory and appropriate to the objects of the charity.

Restricted reserves are maintained for expenditure, at the discretion of the trustees, on such projects that further the objectives and activities of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registered under the Companies Acts. The governing document of the charity is the Memorandum & Articles of Association establishing the company under company legislation. The governing document is dated 27 August 2015, and there are no restrictions therein on the operation of the charity or on its borrowing powers other than those imposed by law.

The trustees seek to appoint additional trustees whenever necessary in line with the process outlines in the company's articles. Potential trustees are provided with all relevant guides from the Charity Commission before any appointment. The trustees are all individuals and no trustee has any beneficial interest in the charity.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
