TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD
1[st] April 2021 to 31[st] May 2022
ACHIEVEMENTS
This report covers the period April 2021 to end May 2022, during which we were still under some Covid restrictions and/or Lock-Downs. Over this time Dŵr Anafon continued to make grants available to the communities of Abergwyngregyn and Llanfairfechan.
Applications were – as with the previous year - less than expected, as many organisations had put their activities on hold because of government restrictions and social distancing requirements. Nevertheless, a number were received and approved and by May 2022 there was a renewed interest in grant applications, particularly from Llanfairfechan.
In March 2019 the project Energy Saving Aber had been launched in Abergwyngregyn, with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of homes in the village. In November 2019 Dŵr Anafon set aside a total of £20,000 to enable those who had completed surveys to carry out work recommended. Strict criteria were set for these grants. In this financial year £3769 was distributed in energy efficiency grants, with other applications submitted but awaiting completion of works.
In May 2021 a grant of £1,340 was made to Llanfairfechan Bowling Club for repairs to their pavilion roof which was badly damaged in storms. In June 2021 a grant of £10,000 was agreed for Llanfairfechan Sailing Club for vital improvements, and in April 2022 a grant of £2094 was agreed for improvements and repairs to the bird hides at Morfa Madryn. At the very end of the financial year an application from Llanfairfechan Golf Club was received for £4750 for improvements to the clubhouse and was agreed upon.
In September 2021 a crisis grant of £250 was made to the family of a local girl in Llanfairfechan following her tragic death by drowning, to assist with funeral costs. Such crisis grants are usually restricted to people living in Abergwyngregyn, however as she was previously employed in Yr Hen Felin and was well-known and liked in Aber the board of Trustees made an exception.
The Trustees are aware of a potential application from Llanfairfechan Football Club for security improvements/deterrents following several break-ins and a spate of vandalism.
The Trustees are about to undertake a marketing campaign to increase awareness of the charity amongst the community hopefully leading to more grant applications now all covid restrictions have been lifted.

POTENTIAL COMMITTMENTS
The current Bank Balance for Dwr Anafon (as at 1 June 2021) is £46,430.34 – though please note that £10,000 of this balance has been assigned to Llanfairfechan Sailing Club, £2094 to the Morfa Madryn project and £4750 to Llanfairfechan Golf Club which will be awarded to them as and when their invoices come in.
Running costs of the Charity, Insurance, Bank Charges, Sundry expenses etc., are expected to be in the order of £400.
