Achievements and performance
----- End of picture text -----

Summary of the main , oT . i ‘ The charity maintained the pre-school to the required standard, achievements of the charity bene j : : eal during the year instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objectives of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. For most of the academic year to August 2021 it ran 5 three hour morning sessions per week and 3 three hour afternoon sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays including a lunch club to accommodate those children attending both morning and afternoon sessions on those days. The Preschool had to reduce its hours from January to March 2021 due to Covid-19 and successfully returned to full capacity in April 2021. During January to March the Preschool was supported by the governmentjob retention scheme grant for those staff which were part furloughed and continued to top up employee’s wages to 100% from reserves.

The income the Preschool usually receives from Fees & Lunch clubs paid by the parents were greatly reduced, as indeed they were in the year to August 2020, but the Job retention grant was much lower this year than last. In addition to this the trustees of Eccles Pre-School were not able to run fundraising events to raise money for activities due to Covid and this has resulted in a loss and our reserves are now lower than in previous years.

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: e examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, e 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
e 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 !n connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examiner's statement 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
e 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.
