Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Our group was able to secure a ten thousand pound grant from the early years setting improvement programme. We added six thousand pounds of our own funds to complete our target projects. Project 1 – To build a sensory area in our conservatory as we felt that the children returning after Covid would benefit from an area that would support their mental well-being if they became overwhelmed with returning to pre-school.
Project 2 – Was to create a sensory garden complete with scented shrubs, insect boxes, a wormery, a bird watching station and a den. This was a wonderful opportunity after months of hand washing and sanitising for the children to get their hands dirty in mud. This area is continuously used by all pre-school children.
Project 3 – Was the construction area where the children were given the opportunity to choose what they would like in this area. They asked for wooden blocks, hard hats and drills. A favourite choice from the children was the wheelbarrow.
The above projects have enhanced the children’s learning opportunities and supported the children in progressing in the EYFS early learning goals.

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *)
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
