3 Chair's Report

3.1 Learning Clubs

This year we have continued with our 3 Learning Clubs in 3 different Cardiff Hubs. We are very grateful for the continued support from the Hubs which allow us to have our Learning Clubs in the heart of the communities of Cardiff.

We have had new learners join us, showing that there is a continued need for what we provide.

3.2 Funding/Fundraising

We applied for, and our application was successful in, an award from the National Lottery Community Fund for £10,000. This has enabled us to continue to offer our Learning Clubs.

4 Financial Statement

Although our income was less than our outgoings this year, we had sufficient balance from previous years to cover our commitments.
