Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objective of Cambridge Joint Playschemes is to provide leisure activities for children and young people from the age of 8 to 19 with learning difficulties and associated disabilities. During 2022 we provided a year-round programme of Saturday activities and holiday club programmes during the Easter and Summer school breaks |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. All children and young people meeting the charity’s criteria are eligible for equal access to the leisure activities irrespective of social background, ethnic origin and any other factors. Families can “self- refer” irrespective of whether they receive assistance from social care or other statutory support organisations. Children and young people with learning disabilities and associated disabilities experience enjoyable and fulfilling activities which they might not otherwise be able to access. The provision of transport where possible enables the children in isolated areas or without transport to attend the leisure activities. Families and carers, including siblings, benefit from the respite time that the leisure activities provide. To enable as many children and young people as possible to attend from a diverse range of families, the fees that are charged to families and carers are kept at as low a level as possible and are reviewed on an annual basis. |

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | During 2022, the Charity continued with its range of Saturday morning and Holiday Club activities. This included a two week summer holiday scheme as well as running a number of Saturday activities when possible. The number of places we have been able to offer to Children has been limited by the challenge of recruiting and retaining temporary Playscheme workers post Covid. The Charity has been putting significant efforts into Play Scheme Worker Recruitment over the last 12 months. Feedback from parents and children indicated once again high levels of satisfaction and enjoyment. Families and carers continue to be very appreciative of both the facilities offered by the Charity and the respite opportunities that the Saturday and Holiday Clubs have allowed. The Trustees will continue to consider feedback from families and staff in deciding |
the strategy of the Charity and activity planning going forward.
