TRUSTEES’ REPORT
LEGAL STATUS AND ADMINISTRATION
Gwent Young Farmers Clubs is constituted by trust deed and is a registered charity, No 1178227. The address is The YFC Office, Coleg Gwent, Usk, Monmouthshire, NP15 1XJ. The Charity Trustees, all of whom make up the Executive Committee, during the year were:
Alun Morgan (President) Chris Lewis Laura Baker Helen Hinton Trevor Bowen Sophie Madsen Sophia Vassallo Katie Matthews Andrew Watkins Kelly Whistance Thomas Berry Elizabeth Berry Alyssia Thomas Emma Davies Rhys Whittingham Gareth Price Abbie Williams(chairman) Laura Bowyer Laura Morgan Rhiannon Williams Angharad Gwillim Lucy Phillips Amy Phillips Dan Maggs Hayley Bull Lowri Lougher
The Trustees are appointed by the affiliated clubs on an annual basis with the change over taking place at the Executive Committee AGM held around October of each year.
CHARITABLE OBJECTS
The objective of the charity is to provide educational and social benefit to young people aged between 10 and 26 years who predominantly live in the countryside, in the old county boundary of Gwent. Activities are biased towards agricultural and countryside subjects but also include many activities that are of general appeal to young people.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)
Fundraising for the Federation is dependent on the members of the affiliated clubs to arrange activities and events, with the majority of the money raised coming from the members and their families.
This year has seen a profit whereby income exceeded expenditure by a total of £20,759.
Donations and sponsorship have once again been gratefully received and our thanks go to all who have donated to the Federation over the past year.
This year we received grants from Wales YFC totalling £858 to support the promotion of the Welsh language within the County and encourage members to learn something new. We received £26 from the Welsh Lamb Scheme and have received a £4,275 grant from Monmouthshire County Council. We received £20,186 from Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) and £2,724 from Gwent Association of Voluntary Organisations (GAVO) Comic relief fund which is being used to benefit the club in such ways like promotional advertising, and technology. For this support we are continually grateful.
The hard work and effort of the Members, County Officers and County Organiser have kept the Federation in a safe financial position this year during difficult times. I am sure this will remain the case for next year and wish the new officers every success.
The Charity will remain affiliated to The National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs, which oversees and coordinates activities nationwide.
ACCOUNTANTS
Green & Co have expressed their willingness to continue as the Trust’s accountants for the forthcoming year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
GWENT YOUNG FARMERS CLUBS CIO
We report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2021 set out on pages 5 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and Independent Examiners
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees must consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the 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 you as 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 as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiners Statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
