Section D Achievements and performance

As we are starting to go back to a new normal after covid we were Summary of the main in talks with Southminster Primary School to renew our continued achievements of the charity during the year use of the premises. Sadly, we had to move premises after the July term in 2022. Southminster Primary required the rooms for an expected intake of their pupil number. We managed to rent a communal hall from our local parish council, thankfully the hall is only really used at this time for 2 other committee gatherings. So, we were able to make certain changes that would accommodate our use of the premises like adding a window which was donated by a local business and created a safe outdoor play area for the children. Because of our changes this year we were not able to provide some of the regular celebrations, however, we did introduce swimming lessons in our local pool and managed to end the with a Christmas stay & play craft session with parents and had a Santa visit the children with gifts.
