Achievements and performance
We have Seen continued growth across the year with an increase in families engaging with us, additional
services and capacity building of the organisation. There ha5 been a successful period of fundraising which has
allowed us to recruit for a new children's manager, increase management hours for existing staff and increase
hours for sessional and part time staff to support the development of services.
Across the year we have continued to deliver our weekly program of activities which included 5 early years
stay and play sessions, 3 after school Clubs for children and 2 for youth which included an autism friendly club.
Over the holidays we delivered 36 days of provision including a healthy meal for children and young people.
Parenting advice and one to one support was available throughout the year with 30 contacts a week.
Nearly all our session5 were very well attended with an average of 80 children and youth participating on
Friday evenings and holiday clubs with between 50-80 early years children and adults attending the 5-weekly
drop-ins.
Demand for the holiday provision was so high that 80 places were booked within 2 hours of opening
registration.
At the start of the year and In response to local issues of youth violence we piloted a parenting support group
funded by Young Westminster Foundation to empower parents to get more involved and engaged with their
children, informing them of dangers around gangs and how they can be reduce the risk for their child. This
group is now meeting weekly and has grown to 20 parents attending.
In November we started a new sensory baby group for new parents and babies, providing a stimulating and
supportive environment, giving advice on a variety of subjects such as breastfeeding and sleep.
Over the year we secured 4 long term funding streams which will provide a secure financial base moving
forwards and enable us to deliver significant projects and outcomes for children and families.
These included:
1. 5 years of funding from the National lottery Community Fund to develop more after school clubs for
children.

section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions
given by the Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit
and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the
financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an
independent examination can provide. Consequently l express no opinion as to whether the financial
statements present a 'true and fair, view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the
independent examiner's statement.

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and
content of ,accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reportsl Regulations 2008 other than any
requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an
independent examination.
I have no concerns and have tome across no other matters in connection with the examination to which
attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
reached.
