REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the course of the year we have continued to maintain a tight fiscal policy, which has enabled us to
maintain our reserves as stated below. We have been successful in securing specific funding for project
work and the management costs we incorporated into our project budgets have contributed to our overall
running costs. We continue to receive a significant grant from the Welsh Government and this represents our
core funding, enabling us to continue with our work. During the course of the next twelve months we will
explore ways of diversifying our income stream.

During the financial year the charity reported a surplus of £20,160 (2018: £35,993).
The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2019 were £120,358 (2018: £94,136) and restricted reserves were
£1,130 (2018: £7,192)

Investment policy
The policy of the Executive Committee is to place surplus funds into an interest bearing account whilst
maintaining sufficient funds in a current bank account to cover immediate liabilities.

Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Executive Committee to maintain reserves equivalent to six months non-project work.
The previous year's non-project work was set at a value of £60,000. Members have agreed to keep the same
level of £60,000 in reserves.

Pension Funds
The Charity operates a defined benefit pension scheme for one former employee with the Greater Gwent
(Torfaen) Pension Scheme. The last actuarial valuation was performed at 31 March 2016. Contributions are
based on pension costs across the various participating associations taken as a whole. The assets of the
scheme are invested and managed independently of the finances of CWVYS. Pension costs are assessed in
accordance with the advice of the independent qualified actuary. The annual contributions payable are
charged to the income and expenditure account. The note to the accounts provide detailed disclosure in
respect of the scheme.

going concern.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial
statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland':

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the
funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be
required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is
accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost
related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been
allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated
residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

The cost of fixed assets is their purchase cost together with any incidental expense of acquisition.

Numerous assets have been donated to the charity. To date these have not been reflected in the
accounts.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the
general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted
purposes.

Designated funds are funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes falling in future time
periods.

Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are
valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short
maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar
account.

Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation (legal and
constructive) resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party
and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and
provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts
due.

Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value.
