The consolidated financial statements for the year to 31 July 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis as detailed on page 26. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise of the University and its subsidiary companies; Awen Wales Limited, for the year to 31 July 2020 and UW Centre for Batch Manufacture Limited, from 1 August 19 to 1 July 2020, with control being passed to UWTSD on 1 July 2020. The Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies subsidiary company was consolidated into the 2018-19 financial statements but was dissolved in 2019-20. Background It is now ten years since the University of Wales issued its formal Wales Pledge as it reaffirmed its commitment, as part of the formal integration of the University of Wales with UWTSD, to safeguard some of the cultural and heritage assets associated with the University. Over the last decade the University has systematically engaged in a series of structural initiatives which have safeguarded the legacy of the University. An imperative for the Governing Body has been to systematically deal with a number of legacy issues as it secured integration with UWTSD. In doing so it has, through good governance, due process and structured execution managed to successfully deliver upon a number of the key pledges articulated over a decade ago. The nature of such implementation has called upon the University to invest and disinvest in an appropriate manner, always mindful of safeguarding the cultural assets associated with the University of Wales. This has included a detailed engagement with regard to securing the future of Gregynog and allowing a new Trust to develop a future 4 UNIVERSITY OF WALES OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW strategic plan. It also has included the continual investment in the intellectual capital capacity of the University of Wales Press which has served Higher Education well. In the same context, the University’s commitment to Celtic Scholarship has been further promoted with the University of Oxford and UWTSD. The further integration of CBM with UWTSD has also allowed the University to continue to play a role in the context of innovation and applied research as it serves the economic resilience and reconstruction mission of the Government of Wales. The University of Wales has over the last decade successfully delivered upon its core pledges and has systematically facilitated significant transformational change within the context of Welsh Government policy. University Strategy Since 2012, the strategy of the University has been to prepare for academic and administrative integration and merger with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD). In July 2017 the University Council was satisfied that the University could move to the next phase of the formal merger. Pursuant to this decision, the academic and administrative functions of the University of Wales and UWTSD were integrated on 1 August 2017 with a formal Deed of Union to enable this being signed in October 2017. The next phase will be a formal constitutional merger. Further information regarding the background to the merger can be found in previous annual reports or on the University website: www.wales.ac.uk/en/AboutUs/Developments/Developments-Merger-and- Reconfiguration.aspx The priorities of the University throughout the pre constitutional merger period have been to manage the resources of the institution to: • Maintain the high quality and standards of a University of Wales degree; • Maintain the University’s traditional contribution to the economic, social, cultural and intellectual wellbeing of a sustainable Wales; • Prepare for constitutional merger with UWTSD; and • Ensure that the University is financially sustainable and able to meet its obligations to students and to enable constitutional merger with UWTSD. The way in which the University has continued to safeguard its legacy for future generations, remain faithful to its core values, and ensure that assets are used their intended purpose are set out in Adduned Cymru (the Wales Pledge). For more information please see the University website: www.wales.ac.uk/Resources/Documents/Merger/Adduned-Cymru-English.pdf. Public benefit statement The University is a registered charity and its charity number is 1146516. Delivery of the above-described strategic objectives has also met the charitable objects of the University, which are for the advancement of education, learning and research and to serve Wales and its people. In setting and reviewing the University’s objectives and activities, University Council has had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on the reporting of public benefit and particularly to its supplementary public benefit guidance on the advancement of education. The operational review below sets out the University’s activities in support of its strategic and charitable objectives. 5 UNIVERSITY OF WALES OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Ethical investment and banking policies University Council (as trustees of the University’s endowment funds) is expected to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the funds for which it is responsible. The beneficiaries include the University itself, staff and students. Council’s policy is to aim for the best possible financial return from investments, consistent with an appropriate risk profile, and it may exclude investments from the investment portfolios if the aims of the bodies concerned are incompatible with its objectives. Equal opportunities On 1 August 2017, the University adopted the equal opportunities systems and practices of UWTSD, whose commitment to equality and diversity is set out in its Strategic Equality Plan 2016-20. The University aims to create a culture of openness and respect in which barriers for those with protected characteristics are identified and removed. It wants its people to feel safe and valued, and to achieve their full potential for the benefit of the individual, the organisation and wider communities. It wishes to promote equality of opportunity, fair working practices, and good interpersonal relations throughout its staff and student bodies. Environmental sustainability policy Sustainability is at the heart of how the University does business. The University believes that environmental sustainability is the foundation of wider economic and social sustainability and is an integral part of good institutional practice. It has a duty to satisfy itself that all of its operations and activities are conducted with proper regard to the environment. Health and Safety There were no reportable safety incidents in 2019-20 or significant near miss events. On 1 August 2017, the University adopted the health and safety systems and practices of UWTSD, which was a smooth transition as the two

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • ICT Use and Connectivity of Minority Communities in Wales
    Connected Communities ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry 1 ICT USE AND CONNECTIVITY OF MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN WALES ICT use and connectivity of minority communities in Wales Panayiota Tsatsou Ian Stafford Gary Higgs Richard Fry Robert Berry Executive Summary This project has aimed to gain an understanding of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on changing cultures and patterns of connectivity within and between minority communities and the potential of multifaceted digital divides in constraining or shaping these forms of connectivity. It has used Wales as a test-bed and focused on ethnic communities (and their language and cultural attributes) and people with disabilities. The project activities ranged from reviewing the literature and existing research to undertaking stakeholder engagement activities. The project findings highlight that ICTs and the Internet are perceived as being key to promoting community connectivity in contemporary society and that the minority communities are at risk of both social and digital exclusion. There is clear anecdotal evidence that these communities require bespoke policy which reflects their specific needs and requirements. However, the evidence provided in existing (mostly quantitative) research data fails to adequately explore these issues and „grey data‟ is both difficult to identify and access. Therefore there is a clear rationale for developing more qualitative, fine grained, community-based

  • 'The College by the Sea' and Its Photographs
    ‘The College by the Sea’ and its photographs Introduction The University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (now Aberystwyth University) was founded in 1872 after years of struggle. During this period Scotland had its four well-established universities: Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and St Andrews. England fared less well but had the ancient institutions of Oxford and Cambridge plus the newcomers Durham, King’s College and University College in London, and Owen’s College in Manchester. Ireland was blessed with Trinity College Dublin and the new Queen’s Colleges at Cork, Belfast and Galway. Only Wales was without a place of higher education (apart from St David’s College, Lampeter and other religious colleges). The effort to rectify this omission gathered pace during the nineteenth century. The story is in many ways a romantic one. The setting up of local committees in Wales, and in English cities such as London and Manchester, helped to further the cause, and money was collected in order to establish the foundation when all the pieces were deemed to be in place. The details have been set down on a number of occasions and will not be repeated here. 1 Suffice to say that Aberystwyth was not a well thought out location for the College, and indeed would have had few supporters in a referendum. It was rather the coming of the railway, the erection of hotels en route, the economic downturn of the 1860s and the bankruptcy of the speculator Thomas Savin which led to the unfinished Castle Hotel in Aberystwyth being put up for sale. The building was purchased and after a few hesitations the University College of Wales (UCW) opened its doors to a handful of students in October 1872.

  • Residence Conditions
    BANGOR UNIVERSITY STANDARD RESIDENCE CONDITIONS Important Information For the academic year 2020/21, if the University has to postpone the start of the Period of Residence due to Covid-19, the Student does not need to give notice of late arrival unless they will be arriving after the Postponed Start Date. If the University postpones the start of the Period of Residence, the “first day” or “the start” of the Period of Residence” will be the Postponed Start Date. The “end” of the Period of Residence will be the date the Period of Residence expires, as stated in the Offer OR, if sooner, the date the University or the Student ends the accommodation contract, as permitted by its terms. 1 Introduction 1.1 The conditions set out in this document apply to Students who agree to take accommodation owned, leased or managed by the University. Once the Student has accepted an offer of accommodation from the University and the University has received the Student’s rent pre-payment, these conditions will form part of a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT between the University and the Student. The remainder of the contract is set out in the offer of accommodation. 1.2 In a few exceptional cases, the University will waive the requirement for a rent pre-payment. In such cases, the University will notify the Student that the pre-payment has been waived and confirm that the contract has become binding. 1.3 The contract between the University and the Student is governed by English law which international Students may find is quite different to the law which applies in their own country.

  • Conservation Management Plan
    Conservation Management Plan Llanelly House Revised February 2009 Prepared for Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust By William Wilkins Associates Acknowledgements This Conservation Management Plan has been developed over the course of many years and has been edited in this form in February 2009. Contributions are acknowledged in the text but they come particularly from Professor Warwick Rodwell, consultant archeologist, and conservation architect Craig Hamilton Architects. 2 Summary This document is a Conservation Management Plan for Llanelly House, which is an outstanding historic building in the heart of the town of Llanelli. The building is Grade I listed, and is considered to be one of the most important early Georgian town house in Wales. It is listed by CADW as the most outstanding domestic building of its type to survive in South Wales and is described as ‘an extraordinary house’ in Pevsner ‘Buildings of Wales’ (Thomas Lloyd and others, 2006). The house has had a chequered history and has been misused for nearly 100 years, suffering from multiple occupancy, unsympathetic commercial use, poor maintenance, inappropriate alterations, and even the threat of demolition. Once home to the Stepney family, by the mid 19th century it was in multiple use with shops on the ground floor. The extensive gardens behind the house were developed to become part of the town centre. The main elevation of the house is on Bridge Street and consists of three stories and seven bays. Two wings extend back towards what was once the garden. The eastern, or service wing, is two storeys, as is the west wing, which contains the dining room and small parlour.
