WCVA Head Office, Cardiff, 10am-1pm, Friday 4th November In times, such as these, with charities having to cope with serious financial pressures, it is vital that trustees have a reasonable understanding of charity accounts and the financial information that they need to exercise proper governance. To help you with this, WCVA and Watts Gregory would like to invite you to a seminar titled Charity accounts for trustees. This seminar – aimed at trustees, not just accountants – will point you in the right direction and clarify any puzzles for you. This seminar costs only £10, but will provide you with invaluable information on navigating the financial maze. To sign up, simply send an email to eventsadmin@wcva.org.uk with the subject heading ‘Charity accounts for trustees’. We’ll reply with further details, including how to make payment. There are only 25 places available, so sign up quick.

Neath Port Talbot has a relatively poor health profile and has some of the worst determinants of health in Wales. Within NPT we have high levels of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disorders and stroke.
