Objectives and activities (continued)
The charity's main activities
The Play Facility provides a friendly, welcoming and safe environment for all children visiting a loved one in prison. This helps the child cope better with the stress and trauma associated with visiting a loved one in prison.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular play provision for children and young adults visiting a loved one in prison.
Achievements and performance
In the past year New Hall Kidz have provided play sessions during all domestic visits at HMP & YOI New Hall, starting our sessions in the visitor’s centre when the families first arrive at the prison and then continuing the session in the main play facility in the visits hall. During the sessions we have offered a wide and diverse range of play opportunities in an environment that is welcoming, friendly, and accessible to all children and young people who are visiting the establishment. We have worked with children and young adults aged between 0-17 and we have supported the residents (Prisoners) to come into play, interact and engage in a positive and constructive manner with their own children or other family member. This has helped break down barriers, rebuilt lost relationships, helped to maintain family ties, boosted the residents parenting and play skills which have been lost during their separation and has provided a safe haven for the mums to re-affirm their attachment to their loved ones.
We have also delivered Family days, these days proved extremely popular and were held during the school holidays, we provided a huge range of play opportunities and creative activities. These days have given the families an opportunity to spend quality time together to rebuild lost relationships and reaffirm family ties and bonds. In addition to Family Day’s, we have also participated and assisted HMP & YOI New Hall in delivering their Lifer Days which are similar to our family days.
We have remained a vital part of HMP & YOI New Hall visits experience, helping turn what can be a daunting, negative and often traumatic experience in to a positive visit, leaving the children with a view to want to return to visit their loved one.
Financial review
The net income for the year was £18,651, including net expendituree of £13,002 on unrestricted funds and net income of £31,653 on restricted funds after transfers.
Reserves policy

The Trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations at their finance meetings.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of New Hall Kidz Limited
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 August 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 13.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
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.
