## **OPEN DOOR FAMILY CENTRE**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
The Trustees present their annual report together with their financial statements of Open Door Family Centre for the year ending 31 March 2023.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Constitution**
The Open Door Family Centre is constituted under a Trust Deed dated 1 February 1994 and is a registered charity. Charity number 1034370.
## **Method of appointment or election of trustees**
The Board has the power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers fit to do so. The charity is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Policies and objectives**
The object of the charity is to enhance the development and education of children by:-
- Encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children.
- Encouraging other charitable activities through which parents may help the children.
- Providing the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children during out of school hours and school holidays.
- Advancing the education and training of persons in the provision of such care, education and recreation.
- Encouraging co-operation and liaison between voluntary agencies and professional and others in the field.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
## **Activities for achieving objectives**
The provision of pre - school childcare services designed to meet the needs of our local community with a particular focus on "Flying start" and parents and the children using our services.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Going Concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **OPEN DOOR FAMILY CENTRE**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **Review of the year**
Following our disappointments over the prospect of much expanded space at the renovated Oldford school site the year in review has been operationally uneventful.
Our focus has been on the continuing challenges to maintain numbers in the face of competition from comparable facilities at the new school buildings in Welshpool, maintaining operational excellence and meeting best practices standards.
During the year we have sought to expand the range of activities and services ere provide within the Oldford community. Inevitably these ventures take time to grow and build but we remain committed to meeting our goals.
At long last in a difficult market, we are in the advance stages of a medium term letting of our former home at Howell Drive with the hope that a lease will be completed at the start of 2024 together with the possibility of an eventual sale also under consideration. It has been of particular interest to us to be in negation with a similar Charity with complimentary aims.
As ever I am indebted to my fellow trustees for their sage counsel and hard work and to the support of our dedicated workforce.
Desmond Hudson Chair of Trustees

## **OPEN DOOR FAMILY CENTRE**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 5 - 7.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination .
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
