Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We are in a rural area and we collect children from several local schools for our after school club care. For some children the only part of their day when they can “play” and have free time is with us. We provide the children with the environment to promote play using the play work principles and ethos. We encourage the children to be physical activity, try activities and experiences things which they find risky, to learn to socialise with others and to learn through their own experience. Since covid, there has been more of requirement to support the children emotionally as their resilience to handling everyday situations and emotions has increased. We have provided a space where children have had the opportunity to relax and enjoy their time. We have focussed on their (and the staffs) well being to cope with these extraordinary times with the opportunities to discuss their feelings and anxieties. In addition we have provided different opportunities for the children to both maintain their current development level and expand their experiences

Many of our usual experiences which we offer away from the setting and by bringing in community figures has had to be put on hold this year for financial reasons. The cost of living problems are evident for many families and their needs are currently more basic so we have concentrated on helping by providing second hand uniforms, feeding the children and providing a warm reliable caring environment at a cost which is as inclusive and affordable to as many families as possible.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charities trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the charities act 1993(the act), as amended by s.28 of the charities act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the act as amended),
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charities Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the act as amended). And
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis if independent examiners statement

My Examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charities 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 explanation from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have examined the records and accounts provided from the charity and in doing so find the following

The records are kept in good order and in accordance with section 41 of the Act.
The accounts agree in all aspects with the accounting records and agree with the accounting requirements of the act.
There is nothing to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding if the accounts to be reached.
