| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 August 2024 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The principal object of the charity is to provide necessary facilities for the daily care and recreation of children during out of school hours and school holidays. |
| Significant activities |
| The club provides care for children before and after school and during school holidays. The children can take part in a range of activities whilst in the club. The children have use of the playing fields of the school and so can partake in physical or sporting activity. They have use of the library where they can sit and read or do homework. In addition there are various games, toys and crafts which they can play with. |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Charitable activities |
| We have reported a deficit for the year of £3,256 (2023 - £1,755). Unrestricted reserves at 31st August 2024 were £31,164 (2023 - £34,420) and so it is considered by the Trustees that the club is still in a stable financial position. A maximum of 24 children aged from 5 to 8 years may attend the club at any one time, with the maximum allowed in the club is 46, but due to staffing the number of children is normally 40. With the admissions policy allowing the attendance of children up to the age of 11. The club works on a ratio of 1 adult to every 8 children. There are currently around 100 children on the roll. The club also operates in the school holidays and have now included children outside of children attending Glynne Primary School. Children from the age of 5 are included in the holiday club. The club is run on behalf of the committee by two managers who share managerial responsibility. There have been no substantial increases to the workforce. We have continued to work well with the School Wrap - Around Care arrangements. The Head Teacher Miss Powell has continued her much appreciated support. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Reserves policy |
| The trustees would prefer to run the club with reserves in the region of £10,000 to £20,000 and therefore consider that the current level of reserves are too high at present. In order to reduce the surplus they are continuing with additional trips and activities during Holiday Club as soon as it is able without restrictions, also. Committee is reviewing other options of more entertainment programmes to benefit the children. The aim is to keep reserves at a level to cover any exceptional expenditure or an unexpected fall in child places. |
