Financial Report
During 2021 – 22 financial year our income generating capacity has seen a positive increase this year, we have had grants from Merthyr council to help with the well- being of staff, due to working with Covid still around. To help provide cleaning equipment and products for the increased number of children we have at each session. We always strive to further increase our footfall and subsequent income so will continue to market the centre, we believe our planned projects for the year ahead will set us on the right path to achieve this. The Policy for holding reserves is to insure we have a fall back for the day to day running costs of the charity.
