Horseshoe Community Pre School Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 August 2022

Registered name Horseshoe Community Playgroup

Registered charity number 1029396

Main address

Banstead Youth Centre, The Horseshoe, Banstead, SM7 2BQ

Committee members

Mrs Laura Holden & Francesca Butler Joint Chair Ms Louise Brooks Treasurer Ms Lauren Myring Secretary Ms Carly Morris Committee Member Ms Erin Lonsdale Committee Member Ms Samantha Emery Committee Member Ms Katie Barwick Committee Member Ms Shona Henry Committee Member Ms Charlotte Puddy Committee Member Ms Hannah Forrester-Charles Committee Member

Governance and management

The pre-school is managed under the constitution adopted 14th November 1977, as amended 25[th] June 2014.

Committee members are appointed on an annual basis. Committee members are voted in during the Annual General Meeting.

There are monthly committee meetings during which matters which require the attention of the committee are discussed and agreed upon. Minutes of each meeting are written up and circulated.

Aims and objectives

To enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age, by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups.

Summary of the main achievements during the period

The pre-school and the children have had another difficult year, due to Covid. We remained open throughout the year, however, daily child numbers were lower due to the second lockdown. From April, all children returned and new children started. The rest of the academic year, we increased in child numbers. During the year, we raised around £1,500 through various sponsored events, Christmas and Easter hamper raffles and a couple of smaller events.

We currently have 28 children on the register and places available next term. Our waiting list is open to all children and entry is based on Surrey County Council’s schools admission policy.

We continue to be involved in the local community, with strong links to the primary schools next door. We invite the local community to our major events, including cake

sales, the Christmas Bazaar and May Fayre. The children do sponsored events; the event includes the support and help of the local community to raise funds to benefit the pre-school children of Banstead by providing a much needed and used setting.

The charity’s policy on reserves

At the end of the year, we had £5,946 in our bank accounts. Of this, £4,698 was in the fundraising pot, which is held specifically to spend on items to benefit the children (for example, equipment, entertainment, outings and occasionally fees for families who are struggling to pay). Unfortunately, at the end of the year, we had to borrow £1,000 from the fundraising account in order to pay the bills. We aim to put this back into the fundraising pot as soon as we can.

Our aim is to hold at least £6,000 in the bank accounts as a contingency. The past year was difficult because we had some unexpected tax and pension bills, so the contingency is currently less than we would like. However, we expect the finances to improve again over the coming year, so we will aim to increase the contingency once again.

Future Plans

We will continue to raise funds to provide further equipment and opportunities for the pre-school children of the Banstead Community.
