MID TYNE KIDS CLUB
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
- 1 -

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the club's articles and memorandum of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

Objectives and activities

The club's object ives are to provide good quality, affordable childcare both after school and during the school holidays. This is achieved by operating a Kids Club for children at First and Middle schools in the local area, in the age range 4 to 12 years old. The club operates from Broomley First School, Stocksfield.

Public benefit

The trustees have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by having aims that fall within the charitable purposes of the advancement of education.

Achievements and performance

It has been another extremely positive year for the club. The number of pupils utilising the club for both wraparound care and holiday club has continued to grow. The staff work tirelessly to ensure that we can offer high quality provision. We have continued to welcome a number of new families to the club, primarily Broomley First School families, but also other families from the local community. We have continued to offer high quality provision for children with additional needs. Our breakfast club has thrived and we were pleased to attain a 5 star food hygiene rating. We have continued to make improvements to the building as part of our ongoing maintenance schedule.

Following ongoing discussions for a number of years, the decision was made to transfer Mid Tyne Kids Club to Broomley First School in July 2025. This was a unanimous decision made by the trustees to safeguard the future of the club and to ensure that high quality provision would continue. In recent years we have found it challenging to fill trustee roles, especially those of directors. It was felt that continuing to run the club as volunteers placed significant time challenges on the trustees and was not sustainable. The transfer allows Broomley First School to tailor the wrap-around care that they offer to families, and to expand the club by utilising additional spaces within the school building. Such an expansion would be in line with the government’s aspirations to increase the number of places for wrap-around care over the coming years.

The trustees would like to thank all staff for providing such a welcoming and nurturing environment to all children and their families over the last two decades. It is an important service that benefits the school community and supports many families, we look forward to seeing how the club thrives under the care of Broomley First School.

Financial review

The club has reported net expenditure of £28,491 (2024 - net expenditure £9,312) and unrestricted funds of nil (2024 - £3,491) are held at the year end, of which nil (2024 - £25,000) represent designated funds.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF MID TYNE KIDS CLUB
- 3 -

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Mid Tyne Kids Club (the club) for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the club (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the club are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the club’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1

accounting records were not kept in respect of the club as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3

the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4

the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
