Financial Review
The charity returned a deficlt for the year of £3,114. The setting recelves funding from
the Education Authority for each child in attendance. The setting made a deficit this year
due to a decrease in child attendees this made a significant impact on the income
received from the previous year by £20,826. The manager made changes to the staffing
set up in order to recoup some of the income lost and decreased the staffs hours.

Casual staff were also not used witliln raiios niaking a saving on the monthly wage bill.
We also received a large grant for new equipment from the local authority. Money has
been used to pay staff wages, contribute to heat, light and Insurance costs for the
premises, food, educatlonal resources (both indoor and outdoor) and the general
running of the setting. Funds are supplemented through fund raising events held in
conjunction with parents and friends in the local area, this Includes a summer and
wlnter raffle.
The setting has been lucky to secure a new venue from September 2025 at Lakeside
Primary school on Hatherley Road. The manager is working closely with them In order to
adapt the space and use the grant money for new equipment. The new space will be
able to house children from the age of 3 months old to 5 years and brings the hope that
we will become a close link to the neighbouring school. Furthering our links to the local
community.
The trustees are appointed annually duringtheAnnual General Meetingwhich is usually
held around October. Suitable candidates are considered based on their skills,
experience and sympathy with the aims of the charity. Related parties and co-operation
