Objectives and Activities
The charity’s objectives are to advance the education of children below compulsory school age.
To meet these objectives the charity operates a pre-school at the Christchurch on Boundary Road,
Newark. During the year it was open 5S mornings a week and 3 afternoons.
Children of all backgrounds are given the same opportunities to play, learn, make new friends in a
safe, educational environment, learning to play together as well as independently.
We take the children on regular outings to our local library for singing sessions, we also visit local
parks and interact with other activities within our community.
The majority of the children who attend playgroup receive the two year government funding as they
come from low income families. The children are given opportunities to learn and gain experiences
here that they may not receive at home.

We have managed to keep our outgoings to a minimum, whilst still being able to provide fun
activities and outings for children. This has been achieved due to, our fundraising efforts including
raffles, Christmas fair.
