## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report and the accounts of Naunton Park Pre-School Playgroup for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Administrative Details** 

Naunton Park Pre-School Playgroup is registered in the UK with the charity commission, reference 1054209. Its principal address is Naunton Lane, Cheltenham GL53 7BJ. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The charity is unincorporated, governed by its constitution as amended 18 September 2002.  The charity is structured with a Board of Trustees overseeing the managers of the pre-school. 

During the year, the trustees were: Sarah White (Chair) James Barr Miller (Treasurer) Laura Threadgold (Secretary – resigned September 2021) Rebecca McWilliam (Secretary – appointed September 2021) 

The trustees were supported in the year by four committee members. 

## **Objectives, Activities and Performance** 

The charity was setup to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age. It runs a popular pre-school within the grounds of Naunton Park Primary School. The charity is independent from the school but benefits from close links. The charity is regulated by the Charity Commission and Ofsted. 

Previously, the covid-19 pandemic resulted in social distancing measures and local lockdowns, which limited the charity’s ability to undertake fundraising. Since such measures have been lifted, fundraising has recommenced, and the pre-school was able to open for the entire year. 

## **Financial Review** 

The accounts for the year have been prepared on a receipts basis. They indicate net incoming resources for the year of £7,378 (2021 – net outgoing resources of £4,767). The year-end fund balance was £74,875 (2021 – £67,467) predominantly held in cash. The charity aims to hold sufficient reserves to allow the preschool to continue for the foreseeable future. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees’ are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

## **To the trustees of Naunton Park Pre-School Playgroup** 

I have examined the accounts of Naunton Park Pre-School Playgroup (the “Charity”), charity registration number 1054209, for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the “Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
