## ’ Chair s welcome address AGM 08.12.2021 

Welcome to the thirty fifth Annual General meeting of the Glynneath Training Centre. This annual general meeting covers, in terms of financial matters, the period ending in March 2021, however I will be commenting on the training centre’s day to day activities up to that date and on until today. This meeting was unfortunately delayed due to a Covid infection at our accountants. We will, I suspect, have to get used to this sort of thing from now on. I am very grateful for the help we have received from W.B.V. and to Terence for all his hard work on our behalf. 

The Management team and staff have throughout the lockdown continued to maintain the centre and organise for a strong return which continues apace. 

I would like to thank Malcolm and Rhysian for all your hard work in this regard it is much appreciated. I should also note that Rhysian has now left the training centre for a new challenge and it is impossible to adequately convey the extent to which her calm, thoughtful and uniquely reassuring presence bolstered all during very turbulent times. 

Natalie has recently joined the management team and I would like to welcome her on behalf of the board, staff and members of the training centre. We are also happy to welcome Shan Batt and Peter Diplock to the team. 

I would also like to welcome Brian Brooks to the board. Brian has a wealth of experience which the board have greatly benefited from already. I also mention the work Matthew Pugh has done on behalf of the Training Centre it has been greatly appreciated. 

We have benefited from some much needed grants from the U.K. Government, Welsh Assembly Government and Neath Port Talbot C.B.C. This along with the support of Pen Y Cymoedd means that the training centre is able to look forward to the future with some confidence. 

We continue in our objective of developing a surplus safety net in order to deal with those unexpected costs. 

Without the support of our funders like Neath Port Talbot Council and Pen Y Cymoedd (please see financial statement for a full list) and the residents of Glynneath, who give in order to support the work we do in the community, the training centre would not be here today. On behalf of the board of trustees and management team thank you all. 

The trustees and management team continue to work towards securing the future of the training centre as it has reopened its doors safely to the residents of Glynneath. We have a range of classes once again and we offer blended learning where appropriate to safeguard the vulnerable. 

Rompers is thriving under the leadership of Louise and Malcolm. It should not be forgotten that high quality childcare is essential for the young families of Glynneath, never more so than whilst emerging from a global pandemic and the board are justifiably proud of the commitment all the staff have shown, both during the dark days of lockdown and as we emerged towards a semblance of normality. Work is underway on a new inside / outside play area at present which will give the children much more    oppor tunity to learn through play. 

Work is underway on a new inside / outside play area at present which will give the children much more opportunity to learn through play. 

We have made a new waiting area at the rear of the centre to help control access and make using the centre safer and the art centre’s roof has been renewed.

The charity shop has been relocated to the old café area and is now open when volunteers are available. I would like to pay tribute to our wonderful volunteers who give of their time and to Lisa who has done such a lot of work in organizing the shop. 

Due to staff changes and a marked decline in footfall, the Community Information Centre has not had the impact that was hoped for. The board and management team are currently looking at possible uses for the space. 

The under the sky project is still working hard in our schools and on the allotments. There was a series of open days during the summer and a much appreciated visit by Jeremy Miles A.M. and Rachel Thomas, everyone who came was struck by the hard work and knowledge which has transformed the site into such an inspiration. The project was scheduled to wind up at the end of December this year but because of an underspend the project is now continuing until the end of February 2022. 

Because of the contribution made in the locality and the fantastic work that is on-going in our schools we are hopeful that the Under the Sky Project will be continued and we are in discussions with Pen Y Cymoedd about this currently. 

I would also like to pay tribute to the horticultural team and the volunteers who have made such a difference to Glynneath with the beautiful floral displays they have planned and maintained around the town. I particularly enjoyed the wildflowers which the team along with local school children sowed along the entrance to the cemetery. 

This will be my last A.G.M. as a member of the board and I would like to thank everyone who contributes so much to the life and culture of Glynneath through their support of the Training Centre. My time on the board has been tumultuous to say the least and the board and management team have had to make a range of very difficult decisions. I thank each and every board member for their wise counsel and guidance. There has been very little time to ponder the future beyond the immediate issues, happily the board is now starting to turn towards these matters and I look forward to seeing the Training Centre’s profile and contribution to our community widen and deepen over the coming years.

## **Lifelong Learning** 

Our accredited course programme was severely impacted by Corona Virus, we still manged to offer a limited programme by moving to a online provision working in conjunction with our partner organisations. 

We also were able to offer essential training opportunities face to face for people who were considered essential workers due to the layout of our building and following strict covid procedure protocols. 

We offered the following training during this period:Paediatric First Aid 48 people Emergency First Aid in the workplace 10 people Health and Safety Training 8 People 

Even during these difficult times our students still managed to achieve the following results:- 

GCSE Maths, Psychology and English 18 sat assessments and 100% passed A Level English Language/Literature 5 sat assessments and 100% passed Basic IT and iPad 27 learners engaged online and face to face with 18 achieving accreditation and 9 learners returning this year to achieve their accreditation. 

We also provided training rooms for local employers, hosting staff training days such as Health & Safety at Work. 

Over 36 people volunteered with us on projects and events. 6 people regularly attended weekly Return to Learn programmes throughout the year gaining Certificates in Communication, Maths & IT Skills. We continue to work in partnership with NPTCBC Community Learning, NPTC Group (Neath Port Talbot College), School of Arts & Humanities at Swansea University and Adult Learning Wales. 

## **Advice & Support** 

These services were severely disrupted for a lot of the year due to Covid, there was no face to face 

sessions delivered during the year. We were however continuing to support these services and our community by using our Social Media sites to keep our community informed of the options that were still available to them. 

## **Social and Interest Groups** 

This was another area we were unable to sustain during this period, but we are now starting to encourage social and interest groups to return to the Centre following our Covid procedures. 

## **Community Information Centre** 

Our staff team at the Community Information Centre on Glynneath High Street provided information on what’s on at the Centre including courses, social groups, and advice services, as well as information about community groups and events in the local area. The Information Centre can promote your community group and events, please drop in posters and information on your activities and events, for display. 



View(Glynneath)Ltd Annual Report 

## **Revive, Recycle, Reuse initiative** 

During the year, the team was busy refocusing the old café space and preparing for the relaunch of the Revive Shop, promoting waste reduction and the repu[6] rposing of unwanted items, while at the same time raising important revenue for our charity. Revive is managed by the staff team, with support from members of our Management Board and vol unteers. Revive opened part time this past year but there are plans to recruit more volunteer support so that we can soon open 5 days a week, Monday to Friday. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Cath or Lisa at the Community Information Centre. 


## **Youth Club** 

Unfortunately, this was another service that was unable to continue a face-to-face basis during the Covid outbreak, but the Youth service did remain in contact with the youth via social media sites, though not ideal it kept them in contact with the younger members of our community. They also dropped activities off to people  to participate each week. 


Rompers AGM Report 2021 

2021 a little more normal than last year!! 

Staff have been really happy to continue their normal working through the last year. Parents are still not allowed in the Nursery, staff meet all the Children outside and bring them into the Nursery. We still have restrictions in place in regards to what the Children have access to on a daily basis, we have had to take a lot of resources out of the Nursery due to the pandemic and a few activities that were readily available to the children have been removed, a lot of the activities still happen, however in a more controlled environment small groups/individually to ensure correct cleaning takes place, eg playdough, painting, water/sand play etc. 

At present we have 12 Flying Start places, one child we are supporting on a one-to-one basis. We have Children attending through the 30-hour Childcare offer, through Neath Port Talbot, Powys and Blena Gwent.

Window of Tolerance and 3 Rs (Regulate, Relate, Reason) 

We continue to use the Welsh language more and we have been introducing lots of Welsh words within the Nursery and singing Welsh songs and reading Welsh stories with the Children. 

We continue to do weekly or fortnightly themes, these themes include messy play activities, imaginative tuff trays, focused tasks, story of the week, food activities and lots more learning opportunities for the children. When planning in the Nursery it’s all centred around the age and stage of development of the child, all staff are trained how to make learning activities easier and more complicated according to the development stage the child is at for their age. In the nursery it is set up to offer a continuous provision, this means the nursery is sectioned into different areas offering continuous learning opportunities for the children. We also offer an enhanced provision by enriching and adding to the continuous provision with different materials and learning activities to help the children develop and grow, the weekly/fortnightly theme also ties into the enhanced provision. All messy play activities are done individually at present and will remain this way until it is safe to do group messy play activities. 

We are pleased to have maintained our 5 Food Hygiene rating. 

## Grants 

We were successful in applying for a grant from Welsh Government for £22,752.00 and Maes Gwyn Wind Farm for £6,000 to totally transformed and doubled in size of our outdoor play area thanks to Rhy sian, for the Children to have more space and freedom whilst we are outdoors, this will also enable us to spend a lot more time outdoors throughout the year. The grant has taken a lot longer than expected due to the pandemic, however building work is coming to an end and we look forward to welcoming every- one to our open day to see the transformation.

We are very aware how fortunate we are to receive all these wonderful grants to improve the Nursery and buy new and replenish broken and worn resources for the children. When applying for grants we also ask the children for their input and what they would like to see in the Nursery, the different areas and what resources they would like us to purchase. 

Some examples of the childrens requests from this year:- 

We have our new workshop, workbench and real tools. Our pirate area. The older children have a specif ic area for only them to store all their arts and crafts materials, and once our kitchen is complete, they we will have the kitchen storage cupboard in the play area for their resources. 

We have been keeping our parents and partner organisations up to date with pictures of the renovations and they are really impressed with the outdoor play area progress and the continuous changes being made to the different areas of the Nursery, we will be holding an OPEN DAY once the outdoor building work is complete for everyone to come and visit our new outdoor play area and have a look at all the changes we have made in the Nursery as our parents have not been inside the Nursery since March 2020. 

During the Summer Holidays the Children and Staff enjoyed a visit to the Allotments, they picked lots of lovely fruit and veg and tasted them once they got back to the Nursery and most of all had lots of fun, thank you to Sandra and her team, we are looking forward to our next visit. 

11 



We have made the decision to cancel the Children annual Christmas Party again this year, we are all sad this isn’t going ahead, but our priority is that we keep everyone safe. The Children will not be missing out as we will be holding a couple of small Christmas parties in the Nursery for the Children with a social distanced visit from Santa. 

Hopefully next year’s AGM report will see the Nursery open back to its full potential with a lot less re- strictions in place. Going forward we will be keeping a lot of the new procedures we have put in place due to the Pandemic (more hand washing, cleaning etc).

**Glynneath Training Centre Environment Department** 


**April 2020—March 2021** 

**Report by Project Coordinator** 

COVID 19 – Lockdown 

The Environment Department was closed at the end of March 2020 due to Lockdown and all activities with the O Dan yr Awyr Project and at GTC were put on hold. All project team members were furloughed/supported by the Govt/HMRC scheme from April 2020 – July 2020. 

## **Volunteer work during Covid 19 Lockdown** 

## **Glynneath in Bloom – Hanging Baskets Project** 

During March 2020, the plants for the hanging baskets arrived as we were going into lockdown. I took the 968 plug plants and seedlings home, where I potted them on, watered them, put them out in the sun in the day and brought them indoors at night. 



Once the plug plants and seedlings had grown sufficiently, they were ready to be arranged in hanging baskets, Ian Rhys Williams, our volunteer from the Glynneath in Bloom group purchased baskets and I planted them up, they were advertised on the Glynneath Training Centre Facebook page. We   successful ly sold 30 baskets and 6 planters to community members. The money from sales will purchase the flowers and baskets for next year. 


This has become a sustainable project.

## **Community Garden Plot at the Allotments in Llewellyn Street.** 

Once movement within the community and safe to work outdoors, whilst following the two-meter social distancing rule was introduced, Christopher (Project Assistant) and I set to work constructing 3 large raised bed. We also had the help of our long-term volunteer Derrik Lloyd with the re-construction of an old polytunnel. It was agreed that our project focus would be to develop our Community Garden Plot, catching up with maintenance and repairs ready for our volunteers and community groups. 



**Cwm Nedd Communities Enhancement Group – Street planters.** 

To date 24 planters and 4 railing troughs have been sited throughout Glynneath. We have been helping with this project by rounding up volunteers, providing guidance, storing, and growing plants, along with working towards this group becoming constituted. 

The pots needed replanting, feeding and a top up of soil. Ian Rhys Williams contacted local business for donations to cover the cost to purchase the remaining plants from the hanging baskets project for the street planters. Ian and I along with the volunteers who have adopted one or two of the street planters set to work giving them a new lease of life. 




We have volunteers of all ages ready to take part and help out when called upon. This is one of our 

younger volunteers helping with the watering. 

## **Staff** 

A phased return to work began in August with meetings to coordinate and plan the best way forward whilst following the Covid 19 guidelines. It was decided that Christopher and I would return part-time to prepare the office space and workshop ready for the return of Amanda( Volunteer Coordinator) and     Dar ren (Apprentice) 



## **Working with Partnership Schools** 

We were contacted by Blaengwrach Community Council to help with a wildflower raised bed that they had received from Keep Wales Tidy. Christopher and I along with a few volunteers assembled the raised bed ready for a group of children from Blaengwrach School to do the planting . 

Blaengwrach Community Council has been added to our list of Community groups to support. 



We have also been working with the schools carrying out groundwork and general gardening tasks. 

At YGG Cwmnedd we weeded planters and planted spring bulbs, at Cwmnedd we spent a few days cut ting back trees and shrubs on both school sites, and at Ynysfach we reshaped the willow dome. 



**Cwm Nedd Communities Enhancement Volunteers** 

Our volunteers weeding, feeding and replanting community street planters and troughs with winter flowering pansies and heather. 





## **Community Garden Plot at the Allotment** 

November saw the return to full contracted hours and the team hit the ground running. We have been concentrating on getting our Community Garden Plot at the allotments ready for spring planting. Work ing hard barrowing manure and top soil by the trailer load  to fill the new raised beds . 



W 

e have been trimmed our fruit bushes and took hardwood cuttings, cleared weeds and brambles, levelled off paths and worked out the layout for new beds in the polytunnel. 

We were pleased with our progress,and are looking forward to introducing our volunteers to the new look allotment plot in the new year. 

2020 Ended with a Covid ‘firebreak’ lockdown 

**2021—** A bit of a disjointed start to the new year due to the uncertainties and restrictions of covid 19. 

It was agreed that Darren would remain on furlough, Amanda would work from home and Christopher and I would do what we could when we could. 

## **Development of Training Centre sites /facilities** 

A few of out devoted volunteers came to assist with the relocation of the Rheola Polytunnel. We spent a few days clearing the space, flattening the ground and digging holes for the frame before we could began construction. It took us a week to erect the frame, cover with hot spot tape (to prevent the plastic from melting should the frame become too hot) fit the timber supports for the doors before we could cover. 






## **Working with Partnership Schools** 

Zoom and meetings outdoors became a thing of excitement and allowed us to keep in touch with the schools and community groups, catching up and planning activities. 

We coordinated two mornings of planting wildflower seeds, bluebells and primroses with Cwmnedd Primary and Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmnedd, along Cemetery Way. There is a large area of ground to cover and a lot of seeds and plants to source, we will be visiting this site again to carry on with the planting, and re- wilding which is part of our conservation strategy to pro-mote biodiversity.

Raising income for the centre involves several forms of fundraising, including grants from funders locally and nationally, room hire charges, local fundraising events, special projects and nominal fees paid by      stu dents for our own courses and clubs, which helps ensure we keep the courses and clubs running. 

This last year has been very challenging in our efforts to raise funds due to the covid pandemic and we can only hope to bounce back stronger over the coming years. 

We continue to face a challenging economic climate and significant restrictions in funding. As always, the staff teams are ‘rallying round’ with ideas, enthusiasm, and offerings of their time and talents to help sustain the centre and to ensure excellent services for our community. If we continue to encourage and support each other and remain committed to the aims of Glynneath Training Centre, I’m sure we will maintain the success of the centre for many years to come.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
A5 can be seen in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 28 the results for the year to 315t March
2021 saw a net increase in charity fund5 Of £27,047. This compares with è net decrease of charity funds
of £1,160 in 2020 (before the exceptional iteml-
The results for the period is comprised of the net movement in ￿$trIcted and unrestricted funds
(general funds belon8ing to the groupl and is explained in further detail below;
Restricted fund reserve
The charity received grants of £84,258 from various funders to provide a variety of different projects
and services. The principal funder was Pen Y Cymoedd Wind Farm CommLJnity Fund - Under the Sky.
The amounts funded are Teflected a5 restricted income funds as shown in note 3.
Expenditure defrayed on these projects is reflected under Charitsble Activltles, (note 7). as these
activities are in accordance wlth the core aims and objectives of the charity. More detail regarding the
achievements and performance fatilitated by the various 8rants is noted in significont detail in the
paragraphs above. The main element of the restricted expendlture constitutes salary costs of £34,554
relating to the running of the various projects. There was an exceptional item of £256,554 as detalled In
note 22 in the previous period, year to 31 March 2020. As can be seen in the SOFA, the level of
restricted fund rese￿e5 at the end of the perlod was £463,465 and this is largely made up of substantial
grants recelved previously in respert of the renovation of the premises In 2003 and 2004. The grant
income that originally funded the property improvements is reduced accordingty at rates similar to the
depreciation of the freehold property and a detailed summary of these is reflerted in note 21. There is
consequently significant residual income funds carrled forward whlch are equivalent to the remainin8
nel book value of these assets acquired. With regards to the more recent NPTCBC and Pen Y Cymoedd
Wind Fami Community Fund- Under the Sky project, the cash funds ￿CeIved In respect of project costs
have already been largely defrayed.
General unrestrkted fund reserves- Vlew
The most Si8nifKant indicator of the underlylng performance of the charlty is the movement in the
8eneral unrestrlcted reserves of the charity; It should be noted that the restricted fund movement by
nd large is a reflection of externally funded perfomiance In that this rnovement reflects the difference
between externally funded project incomes and the associated expenditures. The unrestrlcted fund
movements show a true reflection of the Charlws performance as these represent fvnds and resources
under the full control of the Charity and reflect the charity's performance under its own resources. The
charity received grants and donations of £150,175 from various funders towards core costs as detailed
in note 2. Within thls, much need Erants have been receNed from the We15h Government and UK
Government Ire Coronavirus Job Retention Grant Scheme).
During the perlod, the net surplus 8enerated was £45,913 compared with a net surplus of £10,808 in
2020. The reason behind the increase in the charivs net surplus of Trea￿ £35,0￿ is lar8ely due to an
increase in grant income of nearly £96,(KX), against a decrease in primary purpose tradlng Income of
over £149.￿￿}1 and an increase in charitable activity costs of nearly £12.Crf)O. The level of cosh balances
vailable has increased on the balance sheet (note 181 compared with previously, with the level of
restricted cash funds also havin8 increased during the period. Consequently, In real terms the level of
unrestricted cash funds has actually Increased by over £94.CK¥).

Accountln8 Adjustment: Year Ended 31 Marth 2020
Since 2018 the trustees have been carrying out a continuin8 review of the Rheola Walled Gardens
project. During the year after lengthy periods of consultation and review, and in order to reduce any
fvrther financial impact on the char￿, It was agreed to hand back the sub lease of the site to
NPTCBC. This was not an outcome either the management team or ihe trustees wanted, but glven
the financial challenges and the ongoing problems associated with the site there was no other option.
The gardens were developed back in 2010, for the use of the community and wtth the Intention that
the charity would obtain planning and develop the slte further. Unfortunately plannin8 was never
finalised ond due to external commerclal fartors this has become an increasinB drain on the charity
resources wlth no future benefit anticipated. The charlty has worked tirelessly to try and ensure the
success of the project. This included discussions with external partners. Unfortunately none of these
could be developed into a workable agreement. There is still hope that the stewardship of this
remarkable and hlstorlc slte will be tsken on by a partner organisation and the charty wlll remaln
invohled in that discussion going forward.
The accounting impact of thls declsion is the write off of expendlture p￿vIOUslY incurred on the
prolett, as an exceptional item in the year ended 31 March 2020. The total writs off was £262,203.
When the project commenced, grant fvnding wa5 received. As a result all Income and expenditure in
respect of the project was treated as a restricted fund. Therefo￿ the write off has been made against
the restricted funds except for a small write off of £5,649 in relation to project expendlture funded by
the charity itself. The overall result for the year is a deficit of £263.363, thls Is after the exceptional
item explained above and does not represent the operating results for the year which show a deflcit
of £1.160.

21. RESTRicfED FUND AND TRANSFER BETWEEN FUNDS
Previously grants have been received to finance the redevelopment of the Glynneath Training
Centfe. All such grants received have been recognised on the balance sheet as restritted funds
and are being transferred to the Statement of Financial Activities at rates that match the relevant
depreciation char8es on the capital expenditure. All 8rants received during the year for specific
projects and service provisions are recognised under restricted income funds. with correspondin8
revenues expended recognised under restricted expenditure.
The level of restrlcted funds carried fonvard relates to the value of grants received for a specific
purpose, less any depreciation on capital expenditure (where applicable) and any revenue
overheads and wages costs funded by those grants.
Where restricted revenue grants have been fully defrayed previously and during the C￿r￿nt
period, an appropriate transfer between funds is made to align the position carried forward. A
transfer between funds to that extent is an accounting adjustment in respect of fully defrayed
grants to reflect that all such grants have been allocated to charitable applications and does not
late to actual transfers of cash from restricted funds.
A schedule of the current year 8rants recelved together wlth correspondlng expendlture defrayed
and transfers between funds may be referred to on the next Page.

30. GOING CONCERN
The management committee has considered the level of net resource5 expended out of Eeneral
unrestricted funds during the year and also the net current liability Position at the year end.
Mindful of the fact that durin8 the year the charity generated a net unrestricted fund surp5us of
E45.845 and that the company is dependent upon it5 core funding secured from the local
authority, which ha5 been agreed. for 2021122, and additional funding opportunities, the
management committee believes that there will be sufficient incomlng resources to meet the
core runnin8 Costs of the company over the next 12 months and that the accounts should be
prepared on a going concem basi5.
The management committee is aware that should any actlvities be required to cease then
additional costs would be incurred. The major additional cost would be redundancy payments.
the extent of which would depend on the artivities which ceased and the level of staff associated
with such activities. The average redundancy payment to each ellglble employee is estlmated to
be £2,5LK).
