Aims and organisation

The main object of the Charity is to provide a safe, friendly environment for the daily care, recreation and learning of children aged 4 to 11 years during out of school hours.

Dobcroft After School Hours Care (DASH) is a voluntary organisation run by a voluntary management committee but with paid workers involved in the day to day running of the groups.

DASH is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. DASH's governing body is a Management Committee consisting of a minimum of three trustees elected by the members.

DASH runs two after school clubs (one infants, one juniors), a morning club for both both infants and juniors, INSET day care and some holiday care.

Legal and administrative information continued

Trustees Annual Report

DASH remains one of the largest voluntary after school clubs in Sheffield.

The last year has once again been challenging, as the Pandemic continues to be one of the greatest influencing factors for the DASH team. The service provided by the DASH staff has continued to be well received by the children, and this is supported by a recent ‘Met’ rating from OFSTED following their 2021 inspection. The team has also been strengthened through the appointment of a further Senior Play Worker. This meant that there was a senior play worker in each of our 4 different areas due to having to operate in accordance with 'bubble' rules.

The continuing uncertainty and restrictions brought on as a result of the pandemic mean the next year looks to remain challenging. However, the team has shown that they are up to that challenge and DASH will continue to provide care, while constantly reviewing our policy and procedures to ensure the safe operation of the setting and the best possible care for the Children.

Reserves Policy

There is a need to replace the existing DASH moibile with a new one. The cost of these is expected to be in the region of £80,000. Currently DASH have £70,000 of funds designated for this purpose.

The Trustees wish to maintain a level of reserves equal to three months running cost to safeguard Dash's services, in the event of delays or other problems in receipt of income. On current expenditure levels this would be in the region of £53,000.

Reserves at year end were £48,679

Trustees responsibilities for the financial statements

Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which show the state of affairs of the charity and of net income or expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

q state whether applicable accounting standards of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable the Trustees to prepare financial statements. The Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiner's report on the Accounts of DOBCROFT AFTER SCHOOL HOURS CARE (DASH) for the year ended 31 August 2021

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 August 2021, which are set out on pages 5 to 7.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

q to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

q to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

· to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
