Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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	Over the financial year Cylch Meithrin Amlwch has supported 24 children aged 2 or 3 to learn through play and be surrounded by the Welsh language whilst doing so. Through applications to funding opportunities the Cylch has been able to provide new resources for the children to support their development, moving to a more natural setting- offering opportunities to play and learn, rather than very set and structured activities. We have also developed our outside area with help from Menter Mon to have an all weather canopy to support us to be able to offer outdoor play in all seasons. Children have developed their Welsh language skills, grown in confidence and also gained skills. The focus this financial year has been to promote social skills, alongside learning. We have also welcomed a new approach in terms of how we support the children to develop, which has required new resources in line with Welsh government guidance. We now have children attending under the Flying Start scheme which is of benefit to local families and also financially for the Cylch. We are looking to be able to accept the Childcare scheme in Wales next financial year. Offering the wraparound service Sept 2024 onwards has increased revenue and opportunities for local children and families.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	At year end the Cylch was in a relatively healthy position financially. We ended the year in profit of £1800 and had received a substantial grant which paid for all the new equipment required. There were some delays with the money from flying start being paid into the account. The Responsible individual keeps an email trail with this. The majority of parents continued to opt to pay via BACS, though we had some paying large amounts at a time which required careful management by the Cylch leader. We only pay cash in a few times a year now due to not having the need for this on a regular basis and having no access to a local bank (nearest branch is 40 mile round trip from the Cylch).
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	No policy in place currently.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	n/a
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Informally we aim to hold a reserve of £2500 which along with the termly grant from YMCC would cover 2 months wages for staff.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	n/a
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23
