SOUTH CEFNCAEAU FAMILY CENTRE (TY ENFYS) 

We are a free open access facility for families/carers of children 0-18 in the community. We open 4 days a week term times, 3 days a week on school holidays, where families take part in play, enjoy healthy activities, get support and learn new skills. Families meet other families to make friends building a support network within their community. Trips are taken seasonally, funding permitting.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 24 years
