Pitshanger Playcentre 2020

The Playcentre is run by a committee of Parents/Carers who attend the Playcentre. The roles include Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Fundraiser and general committee members.

We employ a manager to run the centre, two part-time singers to sing at our singing sessions and have part time help when needed and volunteers. We especially welcome young volunteers and this is an important role in our local community.

The Playcentre is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance and adopts its constitution.

We are open all year round and run play sessions for parents/carers to enjoy with their children. We are open every morning and afternoon in the summer and every morning and Wednesday afternoon in winter.

We cater for children eight and under in the school holidays and five and under during term time. We offer parents/carers support and advice in the sometimes-difficult task of raising children. We provide a safe, clean, stimulating environment for children to play with lots of toys both inside and outside which parents/carers can enjoy playing with their children.

We especially welcome families new to our community often with English as a second language and offer support while they settle into London life. We are often the first place they visit as locals always recommend visiting us. We can then offer advice and support and refer them to local services if needed.

We support local registered childminders and nannies in the area. We work with and are supported by our local Community Association who recognise our vital role within our community. We have been especially important to families during 2020.

This year has been a challenge due to Covid-19. We had to shut for many months due to Government lockdowns to help stop the spread of Covid-19.

We have been supported by our local community with many donations to help us survive and continue our good work.

We were very grateful for a fundraiser in memory of a child who attended the Playcentre who very sadly died in 2019. This fund raised money to replace all our outdoor equipment, build a new website and pay electric bills. The remainder will be spent on new toys and other items. We are working closely with the family to make sure the money is spent where needed.

In the coming year we will offer badly needed support to families with young children. We hope to continue getting support from local business and work with other local community groups. We will also support childcare professionals and families affected by the pandemic.

Our committee is as follows:

Chair Jill Harvey • Treasurer Louise Woodward • Secretary Marie Jones

Other members:

Amanda Wakefield • Esther Brooks • Roisin Doheny • Lucinda Waite

On accounts for the year 31/12/2020 Charity no 1047674 ended (if any) Set out on pages 1,2 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

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

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the examiner’s statement 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 the 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 a ‘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 (other than that disclosed below *)
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 Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
