The Society recorded a surplus of £5,390, which was an increase of £965 on 2023-24. Overall income rose by £5,701, mainly as a result of outstanding Gift Aid claims from HMRC amounting to £4,284 and grant funding from Brecon Beacons National Park Authority for the Tramroads Project which totalled £3,484. Total expenditure was £19,598, an increase of £4,736 on last year. As in previous years, the Society did not spend all the allocated funds for several projects. As stated above, the grant from BBNPA is intended to be used for the Tramroads Project, specifically to fund the services of a resident archaeologist. Our agreement with BBNPA is that we share the cost of this. These funds are therefore Restricted Funds, but as the National Park pay us retrospectively there were none in hand at the year end. A closer review of expenditure shows that around half was spent on Collaboration and Projects, with the remainder split between Services Direct to Members and Core Administration Costs. The £5,390 surplus increased our cash reserves to more than £50,000, leaving the Society well placed to meet unexpected expenditure and support the projects planned for the future. ## **David Burden** ## **Hon.

That is, according to the date on which monies were received and payments made. These statements do not therefore include accrued income nor expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, receipts and payments are deemed to have been received and made once the relevant transactions appear in the Society’s bank account. 2. The cost of individual items of equipment of £1,000 or less is expensed on purchase. There were no single items of purchase above £1,000 in the year. The Society has no fixed assets. 3. Unrestricted Funds are those funds that are available to be spent as the Trustees see fit for any of the Society’s Charitable activities, as well as any costs relating to Support and Governance. These comprise the General Fund and Designated Funds. 4. Designated Funds differ from the General Fund in that these are funds the Trustees have set aside or earmarked to be used for a particular purpose. These are not legally distinct funds, and the Trustees can at any time redesignate them for other purposes. As at 31[st] October 2025 the Society has no Designated Funds in place. 5. Restricted Funds are those funds that the Trustees are obliged to spend only on a particular purpose set out by the donor and should only be used for a specific purpose. Although the SDF grant from BBPNA is restricted, it is paid retrospectively and so there no Restricted Funds in place at the year-end. 6. Endowment Funds are funds the Society is prohibited from spending as income as laid down in the governing document. Normally these will be investments but may also be property held as endowment for use by the Society. The investment receipts must be spent for the purposes indicated in the governing document. There were no Endowment Funds at the year-end. 7. Core Administration Costs are those payments associated with the Support and Governance of the Society. Support costs include IT systems, Insurance and Fees. Governance Costs are those payments associated with the governance of the Society and include costs relating to Executive and Trustee Meetings as well as the Annual General Meeting. 8. Services Direct to Members are all payments made in undertaking the Society’s work to deliver its charitable objectives such as walks and talks. 9. Collaboration covers costs relating to the Society’s dealings with external bodies such as the BBPNA and CNP. It also includes projects such as Tramroads and Dark Skies. 10. The Charity Commission recommends that charities should have a robust reserves policy in place to mitigate possible financial risks in the future. The Society’s Reserves Policy is reviewed regularly by the Trustees. Various risk factors need to be assessed, including a possible fall in income and any significant unexpected expenditure. The Reserves Policy is normally stated in relation to planned budgeted expenditure for the year. For the Financial Year 2023-24, the reserves were set at equal to one year’s planned expenditure. More details of the Society’s Reserves policy can be found on our website. 6 ## **Brecon Beacons Park Society** ## **Notes relating to the 2024-25 Accounts** 1. Membership subscriptions are stated net of GoCardless Limited collection fees. 2. The amount shown for Gift Aid includes claims for previous years which were not made at the time. We are now up to date with our Gift Aid claims up until 31[st] October 2025 3. The income from Walk Fees includes donations made by non-members when joining one of the Society’s organised walks. 4. The Society did not organise specific walks along the Beacons Way during 202425. 5. Members attending the 2025 AGM paid a fixed cost for the lunches provided. The numbers shown indicate the relevant receipts and payments. 6. The Income figure for the Tramroads/SDF Grant of £3,484 was half of the overall Expenditure on the project - £6,967. 7 ## **Independent Examiners’ Report to the Trustees of Brecon Beacons Park Society Charitable Incorporated Organisation No: 1180841** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] October 2024. . As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. I have completed my examination of the Financial Statement, the Statement of Receipts and Payments, and the accompanying Notes to the Accounts. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or - these accounts do not accord with the accounting records I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Signed:** _Michael Davies_ **Date: 1[st] June 2026** **Name: Michael Davies** **Relevant Qualification: Retired Bank Manager** ## **Address: Crickhowell, Powys, Wales** 8
