## Objective and aims 

The objects are to provide or assist in the provision of an adventure playground for children and young people who have special needs and who are resident in south Staffordshire and the west midlands, with the object of improving their conditions of life. To upgrade SNAP`s services and facilities in order to ensure they remain attractive to service users. To be diligent in the use of SNAP resources in order to sustain its viability. To ensure the continuation of income streams by working in partnership with statutory, commercial and voluntary bodies. Under part 13 (sec281 sec361) of the Companies Act 2006 SNAP is disapplied from holding an annual general meeting. 

## Refurbishment 

As SNAP is in its 23[rd] year it is imperative that we keep abreast of necessary repairs and renewals in order to ensure the venue remains safe and an attractive contemporary facility. Following a recommendation from our playground inspector the wet pour safety surfacing under our double swing has been replaced. A grant from the national lottery will allow us to install a modern wheelchair swing. Work is due to take place early in the next financial year. The female toilets have been completely upgraded. Repairs have been carried out in the sensory room, including the renewal of a bubble tube. Lastly new trikes and bikes have been purchased. 

## Sustainability 

We continue to employ a playworker for two hours per week to make bids to funders. This has proved to be very successful. Grants have been from a range of funders to cover operational costs, renewal of equipment and refurbishment including those described above. Donations have been made by various donors including local court staff, a plastics fabricator, Cadbury`s and a funeral donation. Fundraising events such as coffee mornings and fun days prove to be a valuable income stream. Working parties are invaluable in maintaining and enhancing the fabric of the playground. An example being Veolia a refuse company, whose volunteers painted our front railings and play equipment in extremely hot weather. Costs are scrutinised to make savings, examples being a reduction of over 2k in the insurance premium for the same cover and a reduction in the cost of the twice-yearly hoist inspection. Lastly and crucially in terms of reassurance to funders is a statement from Cannock Chase District Council that legally our lease will automatically renew unless we were in breach of certain grounds. This would apply even if a different Council was created. 

## Public Benefit 

SNAP allows children and adults with additional needs to enjoy themselves and to develop their skills. It continues to promote parents and carers to build relationships and exchange knowledge with others who face similar challenges. It provides extra-curricular activities for a range of community groups from the whole of the West Midlands and neighbouring Shire Counties. A large charity providing services to children with life limiting illnesses continue to use SNAP during the school holidays. As a venue for parents and toddlers, and for children`s parties, it serves as a valuable resource. Most importantly it is a venue for children with additional needs two evenings a week, at weekends and during school holidays. Also, we have started to hold twice weekly sessions for children who are home schooled. In addition, we are a venue again twice weekly for adults and their carers during the school day. Users benefit, by improving their capacity for social interaction, by developing their fine and gross motor skills through craft, play and by simply having fun they could not enjoy elsewhere. 

## Restricted Funds 

In July 2025, we were awarded the third and final year of our children in need grant of £9,809, to cover core costs. Also, the National Lottery gave us £15,170 for the wheelchair swing. We maintain a reserves sum, which would cover three months expenditure. 

## Financial Review 

We continue to attract new customers from our special needs users, children, adults and schools. Toddler sessions which we hold three times per week have been particularly popular this financial year. Family parties held at weekends have proved to be a lucrative source of income. We have 

4 



managed to both cover operational costs and improve the facilities on offer. However, we are aware that sales will never match overall expenditure and therefore we have to continue to attract funding to close the gap. This is a constant challenge given ever rising costs. 

Staffing 

SNAP employs five part time play workers, a maintenance person and a cleaner. 

All six trustees are unpaid volunteers.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of S.N.A.P. (Special Needs Adventure Playground) Ltd ('the charity') for the year ended 31 October 2024. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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. 

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that i might state to the Company's Trustees those matters i am required state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
