However, we had a lot of support from preschool parents though they did not wish to formally join the committee. Two mothers in particular put a lot of effort into promoting the preschool. We ensured the preschool was promoted, that it was cared for and that the staff felt valued. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** We achieved these goals through various promotional channels (see financial section below), through a TLC Day and plans to improve the grounds, and through well researched bonuses. Towards the end of the year, the Treasurer made known his intentions to resign at the next AGM and we tried various avenues including social media and volunteering sites to find one without success. In autumn 2025 we recruited one of the new parents. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. 3 March **2012** **TAR** Section D Achievements and performance ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Financially the preschool has grown its reserves meaning there is enough money for the next financial year to undertake crucial outdoor work to fencing that is now beyond repair. There is also a cushion to protect the preschool from a projected lower income as we have fewer children expected to be on roll for 2025-26. We also used some of this money towards end of year bonuses so that staff would feel valued monetarily, as well as through the workplace culture. One long standing member of staff left and we employed a new member of staff in June 2025. This means further training and supervision requirements, as we now have two members of staff training, Therefore the lower roll numbers are of benefit because the costs attached to training and supervision are being paid in the way of lower income through fees / funding, rather than by higher staff costs. We continue to distribute leaflets and promote the preschool through various channels: - Local newspaper coverage of our international morning where families shared foods from across their various cultures - A farm visit - one session was allocated to the community with parents of preschoolers invited to bring their children for free - Social media recommendations - Casual in-person networking with parents sharing their experiences of the preschool at playgroups etc - A stall at the town May Fayre We had a successful fundraising effort at the town May Fayre, with a good raffle. One of the parents used her PR skills to collect prizes and several people helped to run the stall all day. We also ran a very productive ‘TLC Day’ where families came to the preschool and worked together to clean and fix various elements. We also began to make plans to improve the outside space. We have not had the capacity to apply for grants but hope to next year. 4 March **2012** **TAR** ## **Section E Financial review** £10,000 to be in a reserve account in case the preschool becomes **Brief statement of the** financially unviable to cover redundancies and outstanding bills. **charity’s policy on reserves** - £5000 to be in further reserve for any urgent maintenance. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** Charlotte Wolfe **Full name(s)** Charlotte Wolfe **Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc)** Chair **Date** 19/03/2026 March **2012** **TAR** 5 TAR Maich 2012 ## SACRED HEARTS PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP ## Accounts ## **Period of accounts** **Start date:** 01 September 2024 **End date:** 31 August 2025 SACRED HEARTS PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP Contents Page For the year ended 31 August 2025 |Business information|3| |---|---| |Accountants' report|4| |Profit and loss|5| |Balance sheet|6| |Notes to the financial statements|7| |Detailed profit and loss|8| 2 of 9 SACRED HEARTS PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP Business Information For the year ended 31 August 2025 **Business Address** Sacred Heart RC School Greys Hill Henley-on-Thames RG9 1SL 3 of 9 ## SACRED HEARTS PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP Accountants' Report For the year ended 31 August 2025 We have approved the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025.
