## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Cylch Meithrin Llanuwchllyn**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages eight to sixteen.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Mae 3 aelod o staff yn cael eu cyflogi, sef 1 arweinydd a 2 gymhorthydd. Mae’r Cylch yn sicrhau ei fod yn rhan annatod o’r gymuned ac yn ymdrechu bob amser i ymuno yng ngweithgareddau’r gymuned e.e. Eisteddfodau, cyngherddau ac ati. Mae’n parhau i fod â chyswllt agos â’r ysgol leol, Ysgol O.M Edwards, sy’n sicrhau bod y plant sy’n trosglwyddo wedi arfer â’r sefydliad a’r staff.

- Mae’n amlwg fod y plant yn cael mwynhad o amrywiaeth y ddarpariaeth – o amser chwarae gyda ffrindiau tu mewn a thu allan i ganu a chelf a chrefft. Mae’r plant hefyd yn mwynhau chwarae gyda teganau amrywiol yn y Cylch ee deinosoriaid, tractors, cerbydau a jic-sôs.
- Er bod rhai plant wedi rhannu ambell weithgaredd sydd ddim at eu dant megis clai (!) mae’r amrywiaeth a gynigir yn sicrhau'r profiad gorau i bob plentyn.

Gallwn ymfalchïo yn llwyddiant y Cylch i sicrhau'r addysg gorau drwy amrywiaeth o weithgareddau mewn awyrgylch hapus. Am flwyddyn arall sicrhawyd amrywiaeth o weithgareddau, teithiau addysgol o amgylch y fro gan ehangu ar amrywiaeth sgiliau a hyder y plant. Mae ymrwymiad y staff yn sicrhau bod y plant yn cael profiadau addysgol sy’n rhoi sylfaen gadarn i’w datblygiad fel unigolion hyderus, annibynnol a chwilfrydig. Mae’n amlwg bod eu hunanhyder ac annibyniaeth yn cael eu datblygu yn sgil yr addysg a gynigir iddynt.
Mae’n braf nodi bod y staff, rhieni a’r Pwyllgor yn cydweithio’n agos i sicrhau bod y sefydliad yn rhedeg yn esmwyth. Hyfryd pob amser yw gweld cydweithio rhwng y Cylch Meithrin a sefydliadau a chymdeithasau eraill yn y gymuned a cafwyd cydweithio agos rhwng ysgol O.M. Edwards a phwyllgor y Neuadd Bentref unwaith eto eleni. Wrth geisio paratoi ar gyfer tymor newydd gobeithiwn i barhau a’r hyn sydd eisoes yn cael ei gynnig ac ehangu hyd yn oed fwyfwy ar brofiadau addysgol y plant a pherthynas y Cylch a’r gymuned.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Cylch Meithrin Llanuwchllyn**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages eight to sixteen.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
