b) the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of a community gym

Values

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Activities

Our Fitness Suite was based in the former swimming pool at Cymer Afan Comprehensive school which we shared usage with the school. However due to the recent school closure, we had no option other than to re-locate the fitness suite to Cymer Sports hall. We have recently signed a 25 year lease with NPTCBC so we can continue to deliver recreational and physical activities, plus improve the health and well- being of the people of the Afan Valley in a fit for purpose building

We have divided the sports hall in two halves; where one half is a fitness suite and the other half is used for groups to hire.

Our main objective is to enhance the quality of life by providing all with opportunity to improve their physical wellbeing which in turn improves the overall mental and emotional wellbeing, which can have a detrimental impact to ones quality of life.

Unfortunately in March of 2020 we were mandated to close in line with Government Covid 19 rulings. We opened back up with limited use in August of 2020 but were once again forced into closure in December of 2020.

In November of 2020, we were very fortunate to be awarded the existing gym equipment from the Ford Plant in Bridgend (which was being decommissioned). This allowed us to extend the size of the Fitness Suite and enable the necessary social distancing requirements to be met without reducing capacity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the organisation to maintain unrestricted and designated funds to ensure sufficient reserves to meet six months running costs. However in the event of periods of difficult trading this continues to be no longer achievable.

The organisation seeks to maintain its community based regeneration activities based on its capacity for income generation. We are looking at expanding on current provision and increase opportunities for new and existing members.
