We concluded our two-year run of online chilthen's gd togethets at the end of December 2022 which enablcd us to open up the tov library in January for a fourth and much needed ios. library ses510n. In late December, all our enthvsi&sm and h&d wi)rk to revitalise the toy libw seryice took a battering when we were informed that Our council to) library grant and the early years commissions were due ￿ be cut in the April 2023 budget. We launched a well organi5ed and heartfelt campaign of well-mannered emails and letter5 10 u)unciI oific£rs amd various committees and councilloT5. We were astonished how many people wrote on our behalf. Familie5 who had been with us twenty year5 ago. whose children were now at university and eollege wrote in sa)'itig the toy library 'had been a life saverf. Parents Wlth us only for a few months wrote pleading for the service to be saved..-hundreds of etnails were sent.

A march in solidarity wilh Bright Start Nursery, also facing cuts, went ahead highlighting the CU￿ to varKius children's seThices_ We hai'e M'tsrked hard to fill the financial gap. One commission was revisited iyhen we were asked to njn the rnonthly and %ery pipular Dad's group at Tarner Children's Centre every first Saturday. This continued until March 2023. Our links with Albion CoTrtmunity Hub and Ga￿ell strengthened through the year byioining their committee and providing play activities at their launch in May ?022.

ECP once again hag a deficit budgeted for the curreni year 2023-24. this will be fijnded from ￿ServeS, which are sutTtcieni to do so. Like manv small charities ECP is adjusting io a changing funding landscape. and applies for statutory and trust funding through the year, uiilising the reserve for security to niaintain project stsffing and keep OUT services open.

ECP have a planned deficit once again in 2023-24, which will bring the reserve in line with the 3 to 6 rnonths Nnning costs recon]mended by most funder5. FUTLRE PLANS The toy library is OFen four sessions a week and will conttnue io do so to meet the ongoing need for this ¢xtended opening. We have opened a free toy library drop in play £roup for term time Tuesdays to meet the needs of families who cannot afford to paw to attend a play group. We iniend to rdise funds to coniinue thi& subject to satisfactory rnonitoring and evaluation after the Six month trial. (Sepietnber 2023 to March 2024) We are working co-operatively with Brighton & Hove city council to continue to offer our toy librdry service frotn the Tarner Family Hub and develop fi￿her services as needed.
