Structure, governance and management
The charity has a lead practitioner, a deputy manager, an administrative worker and six practitioners. The practitioners work Monday to Friday. The lead practitioner is manager and is responsible for all day to day running of the charity and reports to the committee. The committee meets quarterly to discuss and manage the charity's affairs. The lead practitioner and committee members use email to update the committee of any matters arising outwith the scheduled meetings.
Objectives and activities
The primary objective of the charity is to provide qualitative and affordable child care to children attending Peel Primary School during term time and school holidays excluding Christmas. To contribute to the development of children in our care, offering a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all who attend by providing quality child care with costs kept to a minimum which allows parents to attend work or training.
Achievements and performance
Peelers is a well established after school and holiday club that has been running successfully for 25 years. During the financial year 2023 - 2024 Peelers ran under occupancy for the full year, which resulted in the financial side of the club being affected. Although we ran under occupancy we had a successful year with the children who attended and provided many activities and days out over the year. We also were able to provide some funded places for children who otherwise could not utilisse the club, due to a grant received.
Finance review
The deficit for the year ended 30 June 2024 was £17,631 (30 June 2023 deficit £9,517).
The funds carried forward at 30 June 2024 amounted to £60,684 (30 June 2023 £78,315).
Plans for future period
The plan for the future is to continue to offer affordable quality childcare, and to ensure all staff are trained to do so and to continue to extend our outdoor play area and replace all our resources with natural materials. We are also looking at how we can continue to offer fully funded/partially funded places to those who would not be able to use our services otherwise.
Responsibilities of trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the board on 22 January 2025 and signed on its behalf.

Independent Examiner's Report
for the year ended 30 June 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 8.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention ;

(1.) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met or:

(2.) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
