Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From: 1st SEPTEMBER 2022
To: 31st AUGUST 2023
Charity name: CHERRY KIDS CLUB
Charity registration number: 1064757

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The objects of the charity are:
a) To provide the necessary facilities
for the daily care and recreation of
children during out of school hours
and school holidays; and,
b) To advance the education and
training of the persons in the
provision of such care, education
and recreational facilities.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 The Cherry Kids Club provides after
school care for three of the local
primary schools: Bewick Bridge, the
Spinney and Cherry Hinton CoE primary
school. A walking bus is provided to
safely transport the children to the main
premises at Bewick Bridge.
Our aim is to always ensure the care is
of the highest standard possible with
the lowest session cost to ensure that
there is the broadest use of the club. At
its heart, the club is a place for children
to play, make friendships, have fun and
to learn over and above the care
required by parents and carers.
Clubs are also provided at half-term for
children who attend breakfast or after
school care. These allow the children to
attend one or multiple days.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The trustees hereby confirm to have
regard to the guidance issued by the
charity commission on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The Club has managed to get back to
pre-pandemic levels and continues to
offer support to the local community,
helping to raise funds for the new
Cherry Hinton Hub with our art work.
We also are looking forward to
welcoming children from the new

area.
The expansion of the holiday club to
welcome those from all Cherry Hinton
schools has been a success.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 The Club has not yet managed to get
back to its pre-pandemic attendance
rates and closed 3 consecutive years in
deficit (FY20, FY21 and FY22).
Therefore, in the beginning of FY23, the
Committee members and the Club’s
manager agreed on the following
measures to avoid deficit:
-
To increase the daily fee for After
School and Holiday Club
provisions;
-
To implement cost-cutting
measures, such as changing
payroll provider and reducing
staff hours;
-
To cancel Holiday Club
provisions unless the minimum
number of attendees required for
break-even is met.
The Trustees are pleased to report that
such measures were successfully
implemented and resulted in the Club
closing the year with a modest surplus
of £768 for the first time since the Global
pandemic hit.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The Club holds a bank account for day-
to-day operations, and also a building
society account which serves as the
reserve fund so we can ensure
continuation of care should an
unforeseen situation arises or if the
Club wishes to make improvements at
its setting and/or an extraordinary
purchase.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £16,285
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 n/a

Explanation of any
uncertainties about the

there are no indication of the charity not
continuing as a going concern.
