CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDING 31[st] AUG 2021
As the previous year, it was a challenging year financially with reduced numbers of children attending the setting due to a reduced birth rate year and fear of returning to a nursery with the pandemic still having an impact.
We continued to be careful with money to ensure sustainability of the charity and also as the roof is still in desperate need of repair or replacing.
Fundraising was still an impossibility as parents do not have much disposable income and we could not hold any events to raise funds because of the ongoing pandemic.
Unfortunately , we were unsuccessful with our attempts to apply for grants too as we did not meet all the criteria.
We will continue to be cautious with our spending while still providing quality childcare to enable us to save money for the new roof as soon as possible.
We are hoping things will improve in the next financial year but nothing is guaranteed.
