## **Trustees’ Annual Report**
## **For the period: from 1/4/24 to 31/3/25**
CYLCH MEITHRIN DYFFRYN BANW
Charity number 1181376
## **Objectives and Activities**
The delivery of quality early years education, care and play (as regulated by CIW and Estyn) through the medium of Welsh to children aged 18 months to 11 years of age, delivered in a Cylch Meithrin setting with an accompanying breakfast and after school club. Open daily from 8am to 3.30/5pm.
We also run a Cylch Ti a Fi parent and toddler group which meets weekly.
The charity trustees confirm that they have regard to the Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
## **Achievements and Performance**
Continued to deliver high-quality experiences for the children, thanks to the work of Anti Mirain, Anti Lwsi, Anti Lws, Anti Natalie, and Anti Leah in the Cylch Ti a Fi.
Staff continued with their respective Level 3 and Level 5 qualifications, also taking advantage of a wide range of Continuous Professional Learning opportunities.
We opened an after-school club using hypothecated ‘Children in Need’ funding for children aged 8- 11 years old.
We maintained a constructive relationship with officers from Powys County Council (especially concerning the work of introducing the curriculum) and Mudiad Meithrin.
We continued to deliver ‘Flying Start’ provision for two-year-olds also winning a tender to deliver 10-hours of weekly funded early education provision for 3 and 4 year olds.
We celebrated our 50[th] birthday as a cylch, having won a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to enable us to do so.
## **Financial Review**
The charity’s financial situation is robust and there are no concerns regarding the future of the organisation. Our financial reserves are more than sufficient to cope with any unexpected shock or to meet our obligations if forced to close. As a voluntary management committee, we are active in applying for grants and we fundraise by arranging numerous community events.
## **Related party transactions**
There were no material transactions between the charity and its trustees or other connected persons.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Cylch Meithrin is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation managed by a Voluntary Management Committee comprised of 9 individuals. Of those 9, 3 are trustees. The Committee consists of a Chair, Treasurer, Secretaries, Responsible Individual, and 4 members without a designated role. We meet every two months and communicate weekly through a discussion group, as needed/required. The Chair, Treasurer and RI discuss any specific matters requiring attention between meetings, obtaining the committee’s approval as and when required. The committee follows Mudiad Meithrin policies. The Cylch Meithrin’s Leader is line managed by the Responsible Individual, and in turn she acts as line manager to other staff members.
## **Trustee selection and appointment methods**
The Trustees are selected according to the Cylch’s recruitment policy. Positions on the committee are advertised and individuals are co-opted. New trustees are appointed when exiting trustees leave the CIO and the governing document is amended as is our webpage on the Charity Commission’s register. Induction and training are provided for committee members and information is shared on ‘What it means to be a Trustee’.
