Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Charities, issued by the Charity Commission; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the Charity will not continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

Appointment of Trustees is governed by the constitution. The Trustees are authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies through resignation or death of an existing trustee.
Objectives and Aims
The objective of the Club is to provide good quality facilities and a stimulating environment for the daily care, recreation, and education during out of school hours for children aged 4 to 11 in the Muswell Hill area. It operates an after-school club, together with play schemes during half-term holidays, Easter holidays and summer holidays.
The Club offers workshops, arts and craft activities, language classes and fitness activities.
The Club's activities have contributed to the public benefit in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidance in several areas, i.e. supporting 25 to 30 families by offering low cost access to care for their children from a wide range of backgrounds and communities, by continuing the employment of more than ten people (one full-time) and by supporting the development of younger adults envisaging careers in the childcare industry.
The Club has a legal and moral duty to protect its staff and membership from discrimination. The Club practices an equal opportunities policy in which each individual, including children, parents and staff, has the right to be valued and treated with respect. We do not negatively discriminate on the basis of age, colour, gender, race, ethnic origin, nationality, culture, disability, religious or political opinion, marital status, sexuality, responsibility for dependants, physical appearance, HIV status or unrelated criminal conviction. It is expected that everybody involved with the Club understands and adheres to the above statement. Discriminatory behaviour and remarks are unacceptable in the Club and the Club will support anyone wishing to challenge any discriminatory or oppressive behaviour or comments.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
Developments, Activities and Achievements
The Club is thankful to key staff and parents for the ongoing valuable support that has remained constant. The club has maintained good relationships with its core stakeholders. During the year under review the club has maintained high standards of service amid challenging staff recruitment and economic conditions.
The Club achieved its objectives without the need for outside funding or voluntary fundraising activities and continues to thrive. The Club only holds unrestricted reserves and in such a way to be able to meet both its normal needs and any contingencies sufficiently and as they arise.
The main financial and other risks to the Club are challenges in recruitment to replace key roles and the loss of volunteers (many of them with children attending) whose encouragement and contribution in time and expertise has been exceptional.
For and on behalf of the Trustees Arcannal obese Ms A Colosio Chair
