“After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Union has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “With the assistance of an interest free loan from Cardiff University, the Directors of Cardiff Union Services Limited (CUSL) exited the SUSS pension scheme through a section 75 buyout process.”
- “During the year, there has been significant investment in the University Union building as part of ongoing improvements to enhance accessibility, sustainability, and the overall charitable and commercial offer.”
- “Grant funding of £30,000 was received from Medr (replacement of Higher Education Funding Council for Wales) in the current financial year for wellbeing and cost of living initiatives.”
- “On 29 July 2022, the Board of Trustees of Cardiff Volunteering, a registered charity, took the decision to dissolve the charity and transfer the remaining assets to its parent, Cardiff University Students' Union.”
