Ardal Aberystwyth CIO Charitable Aims
Our Charitable Aims are set out in our governing document and are the relief of the poor and needy in Aberystwyth and the surrounding area, any other part of the United Kingdom or elsewhere in the world, or such other charitable purpose as the members of the CIO shall in duly constituted meeting direct.
Ardal Aberystwyth CIO Governing Document
Our governing document is our Constitution, dated and last amended 3rd October 2022, which is a constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its Charity Trustees, and is appended to this Annual Report.
Commentary on Activities
Our activities in the period 01 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 have been focused on overall support of our local community via organisation of, or participation in, various community events, such as organising Aberystwyth’s Firework Night Display, and St David’s Concert, and assisting with delivery of Race for Life and Bae Rali Ceredigion. We generated fundraising finance to be able to support individuals, groups, and organisations in line with our Charitable Aims. Funds were raised through a combination of cash collections and raffles for President’s Charities of the Year (being Aberystwyth 2[nd] Scout Group and MIND Aberystwyth). Donations were made throughout the year including funding of an emergency shelter to alleviate suffering in Gaza, Guide Dog Association, Ray Ceredigion, Ceredigion Music Service, Myanmar Earthquake Appeal, and Cancer Research Wales.
Commentary on Annual Accounts
Our Financial Year runs in line with the Rotary International Financial Year of 1 July to 30 June.
