|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|• Provided reliable, stimulating, home from<br>home wraparound care, for children<br>attending St Joseph’s Catholic Primary<br>School and eligible children attending St<br>Joseph’s Pre-school.<br>• Provided interesting activities through a<br>holiday club facility for local primary aged<br>children.  The holiday club ran three times<br>during 2022-23, during the February 2023<br>half-term, at Easter and the during the first<br>two weeks of the Summer holidays.<br>• The Easter and Summer holiday club dates<br>were full with waiting lists in operation.<br>However, the February half-term was poorly<br>attended so the decision was made not to<br>offer this in future academic years.<br>• Some of the activities that the children<br>participated in included:<br>-<br>street dance festival;<br>-<br>The Great Outdoors;<br>-<br>Sports and Water day;<br>-<br>Circus Day;<br>-<br>Mini First Aid day;<br>-<br>African drumming.<br>• A maximum of 27 children can use the<br>Club each night it operates.  There are 145<br>children registered on the Club’s online<br>booking system.  The existence of the Club<br>enabled a significant number of families to<br>send their children to St Joseph’s Catholic<br>Primary School.  Without it, and because of<br>the rural location of the Club and School, this<br>would not be possible.<br>• The Play Leader organised the Club’s<br>participation within the Fareshare Scheme<br>which benefits the Club, school community<br>and local community.<br>• Staff supported the Management<br>Committee in understanding the Early Years<br>Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements for<br>ratios and changing the Club’s registration to<br>ensure the Club is meeting requirements.<br>• From June 2023, administrative assistance<br>was sought and provided by St Joseph’s<br>Pre-school’s Treasury Administrator.<br>• The Club’s section within St Joseph’s<br>Catholic Primary School’s website was<br>regularly checked to make sure the content<br>was relevant and up to date.<br>• One member of staff left the Club in August<br>2023 prior to her starting her University<br>course.<br>• Staff undertook key training/essential<br>updates during the year.

SORP reference which she has found invaluable in influencing her work. • The Club attended the Easter Fayre organised by St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, by participating on the Tombola and Dice Game stall.  Total proceeds raised was split between St Joseph’s Pre-school and the Club, with the money helping to pay for the duckling experience. • The Club and St Joseph’s Pre-school continue to have a strong collaboration sharing staff members between both settings.  Staff regularly discuss YR and Preschool children’s key steps with relevant key workers/teachers and ensure that the Club’s practice reflect this.  The Club, the Preschool and School share safeguarding and SENCo information where applicable for effective information sharing, and ensuring the needs of the individual children are met.
