Charity Name: Boley Park Pre-School

Registered Charity Number: 1081087

Address: Boley Park Community Hall, 7 Ryknild Street, Lichfield, WS14 9XU

The new financial and academic year began with lots of new members joining the committee, replacing parents who left due to their children starting school. The Chair and Treasurer remained the same. We were very lucky to have a parent with a construction industry background join us, who was happy to project manage the extension of our outdoor play area. Many meetings were held to discuss plans, with work planned to start October 2024. There was a large increase in numbers of children starting at pre-school throughout the year, with us being full to capacity for the first time in a very long while. We continue to involve parents as much as possible in the life of pre-school, with regular updates through an online platform as well as parent meetings and half-termly newsletters. We also encourage parents to get involved with trips and committee activities.

We pride ourselves in arranging a variety of fun and educational trips, designed to enrich each child’s learning. Many of these are free to attend such as an Autumn Walk, a visit to Lichfield Cathedral and the library, and bean planting at a local garden centre. Our annual summer trip this year was to a local farm, with the trip being partially subsidised from funds. The children also enjoyed a teddy bear’s picnic in the park, an end of term party and the school leavers’ graduation ceremony.

The staff and committee are very grateful for the support from parents and the local community in helping us to fundraise throughout the year. With the outdoor area refurbishment in sight we made a huge effort to raise the required funds. For the first time in 4 years we held a Spring Fair which raised £1500, plus a Christmas raffle and sponsored event. We were fortunate to be the recipients of a donation of £2000 from Persimmon Homes, which will go towards buying outdoor play equipment for the children to enjoy.

We aim to not drop below £17,000 in our current bank account, which is sufficient to cover 3 months of expenses. At the end of our financial year 2022-23 we had £19,435 in our current account. The number of children attending pre-school remains steady and we are in a stable position financially so the management committee feels that the future of the pre-school is looking very positive.
