From: 1st SEPTEMBER 2024
To: 31st AUGUST 2025
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.
