2023 - 2024 was a challenging year due to
stalling drflicultiesfvacancies. This resulted
in the setting being unable to open for all
sessions and depended on the availability of
bank staff to open when we could with the
Assistant Leader.
Throughout this challenging ￿rIC￿l we wèr8
offered support by the local Mudiad Meithrin
support worker who attended committee and
aff meetings. The Foundation Leaming
Advisory Teacher was also a valuable
SUFPOrt.
In Juty 2023 a new committee was fomied
when previous members stepped down as
their children left the setting. Holly Pugh
took over as treasurer and Anwen Davies as
Responsible Individual and Chair. li remains
a challenge lo gel mofe parents inVo￿ed
and part ot the committee. resulting in the
role of Secretary being vacant. DBS checks
were completed by previous chair and Care
Inspectorate Wales, ensuring we were
meeting Charity Commission guBlelines.
Committee me81ings were held 9￿c￿fullY
each haw term.

Financial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at lh8 end
of the period
Para 1.21
The accounts for the Cylch continue to be
prepared on a cash basis {receipls and
paymenlsl and therefore do not ieflect any
prepayments or accruals.
During the year Cylch has unfortunately
reported a loss this last financial year ol
£358.61. This is due to the staffing
challenges faced with paying sickness leave
and bank staff, as well as reduced opening
hours reducing the funding we would have
received lor the children attending. Had we
nol had these challenges, we would have
broken even.
On a w)sttDie, Ft has been a￿anged the rent
is now paid twice a year, which works out
well lor us. All invoices are paid in a timely
manner and everything is up to dale.
Full membership fee was paid lo Mudiad
Meithrin.
We hold sufficient reserves in case we need
lo pay staff redundancies.

The low number ol young children in the
catchment area remains a concern and
challenge. Powys County Council have
agreed we are able to continue to offer
CPFX)rtunities for 2+ chiklren to attend 10
increase numbers and make us more
financialty viable.
The committee is still small, has a vacant
role meaning il is a lot of work lor those
