## **RAWTHORPE (ST JAMES) PLAYGROUP** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

Rawthorpe Playgroup is a committee run charity which has now been based in Rawthorpe and Dalton Children’s Centre for two years.. We are OFSTED registered and comply by the constitution of the PreSchool Learning Alliance. Our last OFSTED inspection achieved a good rating. 

This has been a difficult year due to the impact of Covid-19.  We were closed from March to September 2020.  Our staff kept in constant contact with parents during this period to check on their well-being.  The local authority were extremely supportive and did not charge any rent during the lockdown period.  We have been fully occupied since we re-opened and hopefully this will continue for the rest of the year and into 2022. 

We are still working alongside Rawthorpe Infant & Nursery School to provide the 30 hours childcare available to working parents and those with other needs.  Our primary objective is to continue to be a useful and welcoming setting for families in the local community. 

The financial results for the year are set out on page 3 and 4.  We adopt policies covering reserve levels and risk management appropriate to our needs.  At all times we abide by the general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in carrying out our objectives and activities and we are satisfied that the charity is compliant with its obligations in this respect.

**RAWTHORPE (ST JAMES) PLAYGROUP** 

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES** 

I report on the accounts of Rawthorpe (St James) Playgroup for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 3 and 4. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees** 

As the trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in General Directors given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given 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 you as 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 ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

- i. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or 

- ii. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
