BISHOPDOWN FARM COMMUNITY PRE SCHOOL AND FARM FRIENDS

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019) .

Objectives and activities

The charity's objectives and main aims are:

The policies adopted in furtherance of these objectives are available on the website (www.bishopdownfarmpreschool.com) and are updated throughout the year.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

As with the rest of the World, Covid-19 has again had an impact on our operations this year, our main focus was to continue to keep everyone safe whilst operating within Covid-19 guidelines. Farm Friends had to limit to critical worker children from the 5th January following Government guidance and we reopened after February half term and is in high demand. Our numbers reduced in Preschool during this period too as a lot of parents chose not to send their children in as their siblings were not attending school.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we were unable to hold a number of our usual fundraising events such as Sports Day and our Sponsored Walk or our wonderful Christmas party. To raise some funds we had a wonderful Christmas Raffle which raised £145.56 for Preschool. We also gifted all of our children lovely books as Christmas presents to be enjoyed at home. Our incredible children also raised £92.00 for Children in need and a WHOPPING £789.85 for Red nose day. We are extremely proud of them and their incredible efforts.

We have also registered on Amazon SMILE for parents and carers to use to raise funds when they shop on Amazon. This is at no cost to them so it's a great way for us to make additional funds at no cost to them.

We are as ever incredibly proud of Marie and all of our staff at preschool and Farm friends, and how they have coped with the challenges this year has brought. We have continued to invest in staff development and awarded pay rises in line with the minimum wages increase.

We had some major grounds works done by Wiltshire Council over may half term. They dug out the old sewerage system we have had ongoing issues with as it was unfit for purpose and it has been replaced with a bigger system which should now stop all the problems we have experienced. We also had the whole interior of Preschool painted as this hadn't been done since we moved onto the site and it was in need of a good freshen up. It looks great.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

Financial review

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The committee considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Despite the impact of Covid-19, this level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The committee have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.

Future Plans

Our key objective for the coming year is to be able to go through the year with minimal disruption due to Covid-19 and to be able to get back to the fun filled setting with the children being able to enjoy the things we have missed the last few years such as sports day and the christmas party.

Ongoing Committee recruitment is always a priority to ensure our committee has as many parents and carers on board as possible. We are hoping to gain more support from parents and carers now Covid restrictions have eased. We hope to recruit new members to replace those who will be leaving when their children start Primary school in September.

We also plan to make some changes to the outside area at Preschool fencing and extending the perimeter to give the children more space to play before Greentrees becomes an academy.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a n unincorporated entity.

Bishopdown Farm Community Pre-school and Farm Friends is run by a committee of parents who are elected annually at the AGM and throughout the academic year for the benefit of the local community of Bishopdown Farm, Hampton Park and Riverdown Park. The committee is responsible for the finances and the overall management of the setting.

BISHOPDOWN FARM COMMUNITY PRE SCHOOL AND FARM FRIENDS

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The committee is responsible for the finances and management of the setting. It is made up of 3 officers; Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, with a Safeguarding and Health and Safety role and committee members. We hold 2 meetings a term to make decisions about the current and future management of the setting. At each committee meeting the Treasurer presents an up to date statement of accounts. All decisions made by the committee are made in view of the financial situation and required reserves, as laid out in our constitution and reserve policy.

The Pre-school has much to offer parents and carers. Through committee work and fund-raising, new skills and confidence can be gained. It’s a chance to get to know others in the same situation and to develop a support network. Parents can share skills and interests with the children. Many lifelong friendships begin in the years when the children are at Preschool together.

The committee supports the Pre-school by promoting the setting through online and print media to assist with staff recruitment and fundraising activities.

The committee supports Pre-school by arranging and attending several fundraising events throughout the year such as a Christmas raffle, sports day cake sale and teddy bear’s picnic. We employ 13 members of staff for 38 weeks per year and pay holiday entitlement as per EU working time directive.

Our staff during the financial period:

  1. Marie Ryan – Preschool and Farm Friends Manager

  2. Kerry Rawlinson – Deputy Manager, Piglets room Leader & Farm Friends Assistant

  3. Nicky Edwards – Safeguarding Officer, Lambs room Leader & Farm Friends Assistant

BISHOPDOWN FARM COMMUNITY PRE SCHOOL AND FARM FRIENDS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Bishopdown Farm Community Pre School and Farm Friends is an unincorporated charity.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings

3 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities .

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity 's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
