BRYN GWALIA FUN CLUB
Trustees’ Report
The Trustees present their annual report with the accounts of the charity for the Year Ended 31st March 2025.
THE OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY
The objects of BRYN GWALIA FUN CLUB (hereinafter referred to as BGFC) are:
TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION OF CHILDREN IN WALES, FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT, BY ENCOURAGING PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR NEEDS THROUGH HIGH QUALITY CHILDCARE PROVISION..
In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. The Charity meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria under both the advancement of education, the advancement of citizenship or community development headings.
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
The Governing Document for BGFC is
CIO - ASSOCIATION Registered 30 Nov 2018
Trustees are appointed by the members of Bryn Gwalia Fun Club, on a rolling programme, to serve for at least one year but may be re-elected or re-appointed.
The administrative work of the BGFC is carried out by the Management committee who meet four times a year, at present three trustees are appointed to the Management Committee and work collaboratively with the other members. Interim meetings will be held if matters arise and require a swift resolution. In addition, all trustees hold regular Trustee meetings. Meetings are normally held four times a year which includes the Annual General Meeting and takes place in Ysgol Bryn Gwalia where the organisation operates. The Trustees reflect on the regular reports submitted by the Management Committee and make decisions together on their future aims and evaluate the achievements. Dates and times of these meetings and minutes are recorded.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE IN THE YEAR
BRYN GWALIA FUN CLUB continues to be a popular venue for children’s education, learning and development.
We were successful in securing grant funding in order to refurbish play areas this year.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
BGFC will continue to endeavour to increase the involvement of the local community in the activities and the service they provide and in involvement in the running of the organisation itself through the Management Committee. The Trustees will continue to review the specific roles Trustees and Members of the Management Committee hold within the organisation in order for each individual be in a position which reflects their knowledge and strengths. The Trustees will address the provision and establish whether the extension of sessions is a viable proposition in order to offer more childcare places to the wider community throughout the day. A stimulating environment for all stakeholders is of importance, the Trustees will aim to further enhance the environment through internal refurbishment. In addition they will ensure funds are available and directed to the renewal of resources and play equipment which is appropriate to the age range of the children. Furthermore, the Trustees will review the Qualification framework for staff and offer support to any employee who is required to gain further qualifications in order to carry out their role, this is an ongoing process which is reviewed regularly. Support will also be given to staff that voluntarily embark upon further training and education to enhance their level of qualification.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
BGFC's policy on reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the BGFC should income and fundraising activities fall short. 2024/2025 has shown a deficit however, surplus funds have ensured the stability of BGFC throughout this financial period. Furthermore there is an ever increasing need for us to ensure that those to whom we direct our resources are the most suitable recipient and that we continue our prudent management of outgoings.
Approved by the Trustees on 16 January 2026

Independent Examiner's report to the Members of BRYN GWALIA FUN CLUB
I report on the accounts for the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2025, which are set out on pages 5 to 6.
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance section 130 of the Charities 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
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Signed : Susan A Ridings
