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. ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP ## INCOME & EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2021 INCOME 2020 2021 Fees from parents 4,234.17 3,58.11 Nursery vouchers 46,236.98 31,211.87 Fundraising - - Grants - - Sundries - - Bank interest 0.84 0.08 50,471.99 35,170.06 LESS EXPENDITURE Wages 25,459.89 26,312.44 Tel/Utillities/Insurance 2,736.58 2,382.90 Equipment & Consumables 1,493.20 - Maintenance & Repairs 725.66 99.35 Inland revenue 203.43 - Cash purchases 701.00 1,964.86 Training registrations & licences 838.23 72.00 32,157.99 30,831.55 NET INCOME 18,314.00 4,338.51 ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP CASH PURCHASES FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2021 BALANCE BROUGHT FORWARD - Cash from bank Sept - Oct - Nov - Dec - Jan - Feb - March - April - May - June - July 1,964.86 Aug - TOTAL 1,964.86 PAYMENTS Admin 216.49 Misc 433.23 Maint 667.84 Equip/resources 120.00 Cleaning 202.65 Snack 324.65 TOTAL 1,964.86 ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31[st] Aug 2021 2020 2021 PLAYGROUP BUILDING Cost £15,2730 (depreciates @5%) 3,803.04 3,613.04 Toys & equipment value 3,600.00 3,800.00 BANK BALANCES Current account 24,233.34 28,504.37 Reserve account 629.65 629.73 Cash in hand - - 32,266.03 36,547.14 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2021 ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.
