ddiwedd y cyfnod
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the
end of the period
Para 1.21
2022-23 blwyddyn: gwarged o £ 19,238. Defnyddiwyd
incwm grant o Lywodraeth Cymru (ymgais 2020-21) i
sicrhau bod modd talu costau’r Ganolfan, gan fod
incwm o Goleg Gwent wedi darfod (symudwyd eu
dosbarthiadau ar-lein) ond bu’r dosbarth Mynediad
gyda thiwtoriaid gwirfoddol rhent o’r U3A a
chyfraniadau boreau coffi yn fodd da o gynhyrchu
incwm pellach. Daeth incwm hefyd o £260 o’r Dathliad
Gwyl Dewi.

2022-23 FY: surplus of £19,238. The Welsh
Government building income (2020-21) enabled the
charity to maintain the Centre, as income from Coleg
Gwent’s rent had stopped (due to classes moving
online). The shortfall is now being made up with
volunteer-led in person classes, rent from the U3A
Welsh group, and coffee mornings. An income of £260
was also made from the St David’s Day event.

*Yn cynnwys llyfrau (includes books)

Yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon, gostyngodd incwm rhent of Cymraeg i Oedolion Gwent i £ 0 oherwydd parhaodd dosbarthiadau ar lein ar ôl pandemig Cofid-19. Derbyniwyd grant busnes oddi trwy Cyngor Sir Fynwy yn 2020-21 i helpu gyda treuliau.

In this financial year, rental income from Cymraeg i Oedolion Gwent was £0 as classed continued online after the Covid-19 pandemic. A business recovery grant via Monmouthshire County Council was obtained to assist in covering costs.

Mae yswiriant yn parhau i gael ei drefnu trwy Aston Lark Brokers. Y darparwr cyfredol yw Allianz. Roedd codiad o dros £200 o gymharu a’r flwyddyn cynt.Mae cyfleusterau cyffredinol, ac eithrio'r Dreth Gyngor, yn cael eu talu trwy ddebyd uniongyrchol.

Mae bancwyr yr elusen yn parhau i fod yn Barclays gyda’r llofnodwyr yn dri o’r ymddiriedolwyr, sef Andrea Webber, Lynne Feakes a Naomi Price. Mae angen awdurdod unrhyw ddau o'r tri llofnodwr ar gyfer pob taliad. Am wariant dros £100 (ac eithrio gwariant yn gysylltiedig a chynnal a chadw, cyfleusterau neu trethi lleol) rhaid cael cytundeb y mwyafrif o’r ymddiriedolwyr.

Insurance continues to be arranged through Aston Lark Brokers. Current provider is Allianz. There was an increase of over £200 compared to the previous year. General utilities are, with the exception of Council Tax, are paid by direct debit.

The charity’s bankers continue to be Barclays with the signatories being three of the trustees, namely, Andrea Webber, Lynne Feakes and Naomi Price. All payments require authorisation by any two of the three signatories. Expenditure over £100 (other than that associated with essential maintenance, utilities or local taxes) must be approved by a majority of the trustees.
