Page 1 **YORKIES DAYCARE** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022** The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). ## **Objectives and activities** ## **Objectives and aims** In this financial year we have provided free wraparound care for a total of six children, and we continue to offer places and sessions free of charge when the need arises or in emergencies such as parents or carers requiring childcare arrangements to attend hospital appointments. We also offer respite where close or immediate family members are chronically or gravely ill. We also offer childcare where a parent or carer needs to attend funerals. Many of our parents have no family in the area, we have also provided extra sessions for parents when a new baby has arrived. All of the six children were offered free places due to financial difficulties in either paying for childcare or not being able to access childcare due to starting new jobs or moving into employment after being unemployed. Two children were given a variety of free sessions so parents and siblings could attend hospital appointments. One child received breakfast and evening meals with us to alleviate food poverty in the family, this continued to be the case through the summer holidays. We continued to offer places to children of Keyworkers even when we were forced to close for other children. Yorkies has also supplied lunch for one child whose parent could not afford to send them with a packed lunch. Early years settings are not covered by the infant school meals initiative, which doesn’t start until they are Reception age, so we paid for and supplied this child for the full academic year with lunch. Our office staff identified all six children as requiring extra help over holidays and Christmas and referred them to North Herts District council for various grants available during the Covid Pandemic to supply food and clothing. We continue to reinforce our links with the school and currently have two members of staff on the 'Protecting Vulnerable Groups' committee in order that referrals required to support vulnerable families come through in a more timely manner and so that we are on hand to be able to offer space when and where it is needed. The newly opened Pre School which takes funded families is working with us to benchmark help where it may be required when the child moves to Nursery. We continue to encourage Parents of both Yorkies and the school to speak to us if they have changing or challenging circumstances, for example parental illness, and the effects of redundancy and furlough on our families. We expect our charity spaces to be more in demand as the furlough scheme ends, and feel well placed to help our families in the coming year. Present circumstances surrounding the pandemic have increased the need for charitable spaces and when we have been allowed to open we have managed to prioritise the families that need us the most. Page 2 **YORKIES DAYCARE** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022** ## **Objectives and activities Public benefit** The trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 and have regard to the public benefit guidance as issued by the Charity Commission as shown in the objectives above. We have referred to the guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities in particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that they have set. This public benefit statement forms the basis for all judgements regarding operational reports to the Board meetings, in order to be reassured that the facilities and services currently managed by the charity continue to meet these criteria. At these meeting, the Financial Controller also presents the quarterly financial position including taking account of any restricted funds and the Charity's status as a going concern. ## **Achievement and performance** ## **Charitable activities** Yorkies are providing remuneration towards repairs and renewals at York Road Nursery School as the school has suffered from Education Budget cuts and the fabric of the building was old and in need of repair, the areas we contributed to included a new floor in one of the classrooms, the extension of an under cover area so we can be outside in all weathers, the renovation of the classrooms that Yorkies use to incorporate better storage for art areas, and the renovation of the role play 'home area' to include child sized furniture. Yorkies also contributed to the relocation of the library and a 'quiet area' for children to enjoy the books from our library. We are still making provision to support the school and to replace equipment that is old or damaged. We aim to continue to share our equipment and expertise with the local community, both through the Nursery School and community activities through the Family Centre . These include 'stay and play' sessions. The trustees have complied with their duty in having due regard to the guidance on public benefit, as published by the Charity Commission, in exercising their powers and duties ## **Developmental achievements** In addition to financial achievements, developmental achievement by the children that attended Yorkies in this year showed outstanding progress for all children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. ## **Financial review** ## **Financial position** This year total incoming resources amounted to £275,679 (2021 - £221,091), whilst total expenditure amounted to £276,606 (2021 - £207,892). This resulted in net income for the year of £35,634 compared to a net income of £13,199 in 2021. The trustees are grateful to all those who have contributed in any way to achievement of these results. ## **Reserves policy** The Memorandum of Association has established that where the financial balances (sum of unrestricted funding and restricted salary funds) fall below a value equivalent to two months wage costs against known projected income figures a committee meeting will be convened, with H.C.C Early Childhood Unit invited to attend. The trustees will consider how funds can be replaced. Currently the financial balances are £139,887 (2021 - £102,579) which is above the value of 5 (2021 - 4) months' wages costs against known projected income figures.

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

D Frainer - Trustee Page 4 **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YORKIES DAYCARE** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Yorkies Daycare ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st August 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I have no concerns and have come 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.
