• Of the Coleg’s total budget, 67% (£4.581 million) was spent on activities in universities and colleges.

• A significant proportion of the funding was spent on national activities in collaboration with universities to implement the Coleg’s strategy.

• Coleg reserves are significantly affected by the change in USS provision of £0.465 million (£(0.025) million in 2017/8), and Coleg reserves have therefore seen a reduction to £2.59 million, which is consistent with the Coleg’s reserves policy.

• Of the Coleg’s budget, 16% (£1.08 million) was spent on the employment costs of staff directly employed by the Coleg (2017/18 – 16%). P. 36 P.
