Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This year we did a variety of trips and outings, including taking the children to watch a Pantomime, trip to Noah’s Arc Zoo farm, visit to the harbour, trip to Avon Valley country park and many visits to local parks. Children enjoyed weekly visits from a company called Imagine & Move, which supports our children’s development in literacy, through storytelling and then acting out the story through movement.
Scout hut setting returned with a good number of children, our church setting struggled, and numbers remained low throughout the year. The new two-year funding, introduced in April 2024, generated quite a good amount of interest, and was a huge benefit to parents, of 2-year-olds, who were already at the setting.
Finances are monitored monthly, and due to the Scout hut setting we were able to keep both settings running.
We had three new team members join us, one who is already level 3 qualified and, one who is working towards a level 3, and another working towards their level 2 qualification.
