Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From:	1st SEPTEMBER 2023
To:	31st AUGUST 2024
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 two of the local primary schools: Bewick Bridge 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.
