Trustees' Report
for the year ended 31 March 2026
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts.
We’ve had another successful year at both Lee Gardens Pool and Penrhiwceiber Welcome Centre. We are very grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund and the players of The National Lottery for providing the funding to keep our one member of staff in employment and working hard for the benefit of our charity and the local community. We continue to offer activities Monday to Friday throughout the year and this includes Quillers & Crafters, Knit & Natter and Valleys Re-Told. The Food Pantry is open twice a week and continues to draw in new people. Cosy Cwtch Warm Hub operates in the Autumn and Winter providing a hot meal and dessert and endless cups of tea and coffee to those who attend, all supported by our wonderful volunteers. During the summer season children, families and the elderly get to enjoy using the swimming pool and grounds during the school holidays. Fridays’ Table Sale and Drop-In continue to draw in new visitors and we are extremely lucky to have such high-quality items donated. The Memorial Tree, Santa’s Grotto and Easter activities bring the community together throughout the year. Free school uniform, period products, recycling bags and end-of-day produce from Penrhiwceiber Co-op were available throughout the year. There is plenty to do in our little village of Penrhiwceiber and our activities continue to support our aim which is to reduce the impact of poverty, loneliness and isolation.

We are grateful to all the funders who help us to achieve our goals. Funders and partners for this year include Building Communities Trust (BCT), TNLCF, Rhondda Cynon Taff CBC, Moondance Foundation, Harlech Food Service, Ross Manning - The Valley Santa, Tesco, Asda, Co-op Community Fund, GSII Pen Rhiw Ltd, Cynon Taf Community Housing, Trivallis and Interlink. Penrhiwceibr Primary School and Pengeulan Primary School are always very willing to engage. We’re grateful for the support offered by them all, which enrich our activities.

Trustees' Report
for the year ended 31 March 2026
The opening of Lee Gardens Pool continues to be a highlight of the summer. Preparations weren’t without a few hitches, the main one being the bubbling of the paint during the heatwave. Extreme temperatures made the paint bubble and resemble bubble wrap. This all had to be scrapped back and the pool repainted. This took time and a lot of extra money but it was well worth it when the pool opened and everyone enjoyed having fun in the sun! For the first time, we employed our own lifeguards. These were three local young people who had volunteered as lifeguards the year before. Megan, Morgan and Ella were supported by three volunteer lifeguards Cody, Lowri and Carter. We owe these young people a huge THANK YOU for giving up their summer holidays so that our community could enjoy the pool.
British Empire Medal and Royal Garden Parties
Trustee, Diane Locke received the BEM for work in the community. The achievements made at Lee Gardens Pool were possible because of the hard work of fellow trustees and volunteers and support from the community and funders. Diane was proud to accept the medal recognising the efforts of others. She thanks all those who wrote letters in support of this award.

Building Communities Trust – Community Anchor Development Programme
We continue to be funded by Building Communities Trust as part of their Community Anchor Development Programme. In November four trustees attended a Get Together at VC Gallery in Pembroke Dock along with our nine other project partners and BCT staff. It was a great opportunity to learn from each other and share good practice. VC Gallery brings veterans and community together through various art projects and food – delicious food! It was an excellent overnight visit that was cut a little short because of snow, which saw us rushing to catch the train to get home! A big THANK YOU to Steph and her team at VC Gallery for their fantastic hospitality.

St David’s Day celebration with Cynon Taf Community Housing
A fantastic celebration with lots of Welsh craft, fun Welsh games, a free raffle and a trail of a new Welsh shopping board game. Beautiful music was played on the harp by musician Bethan Nia, which gave a serene feeling to the event. Entertainment was further provided by Penrhiwceibr Primary School and Pengeulan Primary School with Welsh songs, poems and dances. A delicious cawl was made by our wonderful volunteers and enjoyed by everyone.
There was a further celebration of St David’s Day with a coffee morning fundraiser for Marie Curie. Children from Penrhiwceibr Primary School entertained again much to the delight of those attending. Just over £200 was raised for this very worthy charity.

Phase 3
Work on Phase 3 of our BCT funded project continued to move forward and on 18th March we took delivery of two steel containers, each measuring 10m x 3m, into the carpark at the Centre. These containers, provided by Containers and More, have now given us a floor space of 10m x 6m for our long-awaited charity shop. Delivery of these containers was nothing short of amazing as David Watson Transport, National Grid, Open Reach, Police, The Local Authority and Nigel and Dapper from Davies Brothers Wales Ltd all worked together to move parked cars, drop and reinstate power lines and Wifi cables and guide the long and heavy containers into place, even lifting one over the other – team work at its best! We’re extremely grateful to the two households that went without Wifi while the cables were disconnected. A few days later Oli and Kem from Ollywood Shop Fitters were onsite and did a wonderful job in fitting out the space.

What an amazing feat in delivering the containers. They made it look so easy! Work will now continue to provide wheelchair access and repair old paths around the Centre. The shop is expected to open in Autumn 2026.
Valleys Re-Told
This lovely group continued to run when our project with Amgueddfa Cymru/Museum Wales came to an end. They have been working on two projects. The first is about old shops on the high street and how they have changed over the years. The second is in preparation for a remembrance service for the 100th Anniversary of Penrhiwceiber and Matthewstown War Memorial Clock, which stands proudly in the village. Both projects will feature in next year’s report.

Cosy Cwtch Warm Hub
The warm hub offers a welcoming environment for people to come and have a hot meal with dessert and endless teas/coffees. Before food people can quill and after food they can do craft. The hub is open from 10am to 3pm and runs throughout Autumn and Winter. It closes for food at the end of March but the Quillers and Crafters groups keep running until July, meeting from 10am to 12 noon.
Food Pantry
We are so pleased that Asda Foundation, Moondance Foundation, Co-op Community Fund and RCT Local Authority provided funding towards our food pantry this year. We also had support from Santa! Ross Manning and Team took to the sleigh to collect food donated so generously by people throughout the Cynon Valley. ‘Valley’s Santa’ dropped off a substantial amount of food to support our food pantry as did Laura and David from Harlech Food Services. People living within the CF45 area can purchase 8 items of food and/or hygiene products for £3. This is only made possible with the continued effort of funders and supporters, and we wholeheartedly thank them all! The food pantry is open to the public twice a week and continues to draw in new people.

And lots more besides ...

Period Dignity
We are now being supported by Hey Girls with a range of free single use and reusable period products. We are grateful for these items which will now supplement our annual delivery from Rhondda Cynon Taff Council. All girls and women should have access to free period products and we’re so pleased that Hey Girls and RCT make this possible in our area.
Table Sale & Drop-in
Every Friday we sell donated items cheaply to the community. This brings in much needed income and also provides people with items they need at a fraction of the cost sold elsewhere. Another benefit is that is saves a lot of unwanted items ending up at the landfill. It’s also a place where people call in to meet other people and has become a social event for many. When the weather permits we are able to hold our table sales and drop-in at the pool. Our friendly PCSOs call in regularly and people can have a Cuppa with a Copper and discuss any issues they may have.
New Activities
An exciting abstract art project with Dazzle Cymru began in 2025. Tutor, Stuart Lewis taught those taking part the techniques of acrylic pouring and saw skills develop amongst his students. The project ended in 2026 with an exhibition of participants work at Cynon Valley Museum.

Everyone enjoyed seeing their work on display, which looked amazing!
Bingo started in February 2026 after people were telling us they wanted day-time Bingo because they don’t like going out after dark. This is fast becoming a popular activity with cash prizes. It’s a lovely opportunity for people to get together.

In the same month we trialled 8-weeks free Tai Chi sessions with tutor Ruth Harding. This was funded by Interlink and was initially very well supported. The sessions were great and the trial started really well but as the weeks progressed the numbers unfortunately dwindled. As the majority of participants, and the tutor, came from Mountain Ash it was decided that after the trial the group would move to the YMCA at Mountain Ash to better serve those who attend.
In March 2026 we launched our litter picking hub supported by Hywel Tanner-Jones and Keep Wales Tidy. Children from Penrhiwceibr Primary School and Pengeulan Primary School and local volunteers collected 13 bags of rubbish from the Pentwyn Fields. The place looked a lot neater when they finished.
Litter picking equipment can now be borrowed from the Centre by individuals and groups wishing to help keep their area clean and tidy.
Another Keep Wales Tidy initiative and supported by Hywel Tanner-Jones is the mini wildflower garden, which is sited within the grounds of Penrhiwceiber Welcome Centre. We weren’t sure if these seedlings would grow, but as you can see in the photograph they’ve grown like triffids! We maintained Community Green Flag status at both sites again this year.

Hosting other organisations
We continue to host RVS Joan Club and Carmel Ladies, at Penrhiwceiber Welcome Centre, weekly and monthly respectively. The rental income we receive helps towards running costs and is very much appreciated. Sadly, the CISWO (Coal Industry’s Social Welfare Organisation) group that met at the Centre fortnightly decided to close in February. The group was run by Mrs Patricia Thomas and Mrs Anita Green who provided so much support to Lee Gardens Pool Committee when we took over the lease to what was then called Penrhiwceiber Old Age Centre. They will be truly missed.
The trustees would like to wholeheartedly thank all the volunteers who give up their free time to support a wide range of activities. Grateful thanks are also given to funders, supporters and to those who donate. A huge thank you goes to the community for embracing the activities and making them so enjoyable for all who attend.
Constitution and Objects
The Charity is governed by a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Foundation document registered on the 15th February 2017 the charity registration number is 1171621.
The objects of the CIO are as follows:
To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Penrhiwceiber and the surrounding area the provision of 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.
The trustees have referred to the guidance given by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and details of the activities that have taken place during the year can be found later in this report.
Organisational Structure
The trustees who have served the charity during the period are shown on the information page.
The Charity is responsible for maintaining the grounds and its contents in a suitable state of repair for use by those who live in the surrounding area. It raises income through fundraising, grants and donations. A small tuck shop also provides a small income as does the sale of pre-loved items.
New trustees are selected owing to the skills needed.
Financial Review
Total incoming resources for the period came to £226,883. This came from fundraising activities, grants and donations. £174,982 has been expended leaving net incoming resources for the year of £51,901 with £64,092 also capitalised into fixed assets during the year.
Page 12
Lee Gardens Pool Committee
Trustees' Report
for the year ended 31 March 2026
Investment Policy
The charity's liquid assets have been placed in a current account, thus keeping the monies readily available should they be required.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain sufficient unrestricted reserves to provide working capital for the dayto-day operation of the charity and to meet anticipated administration, support and maintenance costs. The trustees recognise the importance of maintaining adequate reserves to ensure the charity can continue to deliver its charitable activities while meeting unforeseen expenditure and funding future repairs and maintenance of both Lee Gardens Pool and Penrhiwceiber Welcome Centre.
At 31 March 2026, the charity held total unrestricted funds of £100,386. Of this amount, £45,297 was invested in tangible fixed assets and was therefore not available for general expenditure. The charity's unrestricted free reserves amounted to approximately £55,089, represented principally by unrestricted cash balances of £56,332.
The trustees have reviewed this level of free reserves and consider it appropriate having regard to the charity's ongoing operational commitments, the seasonal nature of its activities and the continuing maintenance obligations associated with both Lee Gardens Pool and Penrhiwceiber Welcome Centre. The trustees will continue to monitor reserves regularly to ensure they remain sufficient to support the charity's long-term sustainability while allowing funds to be applied in furtherance of its charitable objectives.
Risk Management
The trustees are aware of the operational and financial risks which the Charity faces and regularly review those risks to mitigate against any impact they may have on the charity.
The trustees have a healthy volunteer bank which aids in the running of the charity, recruitment and succession planning for volunteers and trustees alike is important.
Statement of Trustee Responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales required the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
Page 13
Lee Gardens Pool Committee
Trustees' Report
for the year ended 31 March 2026
The Trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Lee Gardens Pool Committee
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Lee Gardens Pool Committee for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a 'true and fair' view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner's statement.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
2) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3) the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
