| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole |
Para 1.20 | Our aims for the year were to ensure that all the children would be given the resources and quality of highly qualified staff that is required to give the best quality education and care. The interests of the children are a central point of daily activities. To manage the Cylch Meithrin on a day-to-day basis we need to ensure that the level of staffing and income is raised and available. To increase opening hours available for the children attending the setting, we are currently looking at adding an hour for lunch wrap around cover or an hour breakfast club. The setting has now opened an extra hour to accommodate a lunch club to assist parents, working parents and carers. Allowing children to stay an extra hour is an asset to the daily running of the Cylch Meithrin. We are currently looking at adding a breakfast club hour to the service. Our main achievements, during the year was to hold various fundraising events. The Cylch Meithrin is managed well. The Cylch Meithrin setting is to |
enhance the children’s learning.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CYLCH MEITHRIN CRYMYCH
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31[st] March, 2024 which are set out per the attached document.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includers 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.
Independent examiner’s statement.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
*to keep accounting records in accordance with 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
-
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
