The majority of families accessed free childcare only, and the current Government funding was not enough to sustain the strong and resilient provision. Resilience is a crucial quality for children to navigate life’s Family Wellbeing challenges successfully. By fostering resilience, the charity aims . to empower children to become strong individuals and thrive & despite adversity. We believe that all families benefit from support from time to time. This year we spent £1,429,739 supporting 10,065 families. Our family Wellbeing services are collaborative and child-centred, rather than one-size fits all. We aim to understand life from the child and family’s perspective and provide practical help focusing on what really matters to the family, so that © Ensure voices are heard they can build their own capacity to thrive.

Our ‘Voices are Heard’ objective reflects our commitment to Individual and group counselling and peer support empowering children and families. By actively listening to their Parenting programmes and perspectives, we create an inclusive environment where Baby Bank opinions shape decision-making. This approach fosters agency and dignity. When families are actively involved in community life, they not only strengthen their own well-being but also contribute to a more connected and resilient community for all.

Objectives and Activities

Volunteers

Our dedicated team of volunteers play a pivotal role in our charity, ensuring the continuity of critical services ensuring that we never turn away vulnerable families. This year 35 volunteers have supported the work of our charity. Motivated by various reasons, our volunteers contribute their time and effort to:

Improving Local Services: They actively work to enhance services available to families within our community.

Sharing Skills and Lived Experiences: Volunteers use their expertise and personal journeys to support others, often with people who share lived experiences.

Gaining New Experiences : Volunteering provides an opportunity for personal growth and learning.

Our volunteers are instrumental in our Baby Bank service. They diligently sort and pack donations, deliver essential packages, and provide valuable language interpretation support.

Additionally, our CoCo East (Co Production Network) consists of local parents who volunteer their time to evaluate and plan local services. They also occasionally assist in delivering activities, fostering a supportive environment for local children and families, including sessions in Grow Wild.

Public Benefit

Our Trustees have due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance, under Section 17 of the Charity’s Act 2011. We meet these requirements through our mission to tackle inequality and ensure every child reaches their potential.

Achievements and Performance

Reaching and engaging our community

This year 10,065 people used our services.

The number of children registered to use our services has seen an increasing trend over the past 5 years, this year 19,443 children or 105% of the Waltham Forest population, are registered (based on Census 2021).

14,078 children (76%) were engaged in services in 2023. There was a steep decline in 2020/21 due to the pandemic. Since this time the annual trend has been improving, now almost at pre-pandemic levels (2019/20: 14,124, 2023/24: 14,078).

Disadvantaged and under-represented communities

The number of target users registered have not recovered from prepandemic levels. 81% of teenage parents registered with us used our services. 33% of registered male lone parents used our services which is a significant drop from 100% last year. Lone parents seen (28%) has been low since 2019/20 when 61% of those registered used our services.

75% of children with special educational needs (SEN) and 50% of children with a disability were seen, down from previous years (SEN: 90% in 2021/22, and children with a disability: 92% in 2022/23). This is an area of concern, as families report they are not getting the support they need. There have been changes in local service design altering how families can engage in our services and our future plans focus on prioritising resources where they are needed most.

The cost-of-living crisis has been evident this year with increased demand for support for families facing financial hardship. Baby Bank provided emergency support for 571 individuals (up from 554 in 2022/23) and we’ve introduced new services such as gifting blankets to 74 families, the community kitchen and living room accessed by 335 people and £10,040 supermarket vouchers for 210 families.

Our Feed a Family at Christmas campaign was a huge success. The Front Room restaurant provided a fine dining experience for children and their families facing food poverty. Father Christmas gave gifts donated by Cash for Kids and the Hill Group. Transport to the event was funded by the LVE foundation and we raised £1240 on-line, gifted to families as supermarket vouchers. ITV news featured the event and our team were invited to talk on Radio London Eddie Nestor show.

Care and Education

The Early Years Care and Education sector is facing a national crisis and this year has been a challenge for our charity.

Research by the Early Years Childcare Coalition (Nov 2023) illustrated the scale of the recruitment and retention problem with 57% of childcare practitioners reporting considering leaving the sector, with the main reason cited being seeking higher rates of pay in other sectors. We are fortunate to have a highly dedicated and committed workforce, but recruitment of qualified staff has been concerning.

Our Trustees have long prioritised paying improved salaries to qualified staff, and as a minimum, becoming a London Living Wage employer. We reached this goal in 2023, but the rate increased in November 2023 by 10%, and we could not match this increase.

The Government funding we receive for free childcare does not cover the cost of providing this service and did not increase in line with London or National Living wage rates, which is critical, as over 83% of our costs are staff salaries. To ensure we’re sustainable, we increased our fee’s by 10% this year and a future increase of 12% is planned for April 2024 to ensure our services are sustainable.

Trustee’s made the difficult decision to close The Valley Centre childcare setting in July 2023 due to annual losses. This setting was based in a deprived community and relied solely on the free early education entitlement (FEEE) which demonstrates the shortfall in funding.

The number of childcare places we offer has been reducing over the past 5-years, and we have not been able to fully recover since the pandemic due to recruitment challenges. The reduced income places a strain on our budgets. To mitigate risks we have reduced staff numbers, reviewed and reduced expenditure and did not provide salary increases in 2023.

We introduced the Level 5 Early Years Practitioner Apprenticeship in September 2023 working in partnership with The Training Trust and with support from the London Borough of Waltham Forest Apprenticeship Levy. Our aim was to diversify our recruitment opportunities and to support improved practice, and this has proven successful.

Community play

Children and Family Centres

Our charity has been involved in children and family centre services in Waltham Forest since 2002.

Initially we were a community play service provider and member of the Sure Start Higham Hill Partnership Board, later when designated the Lloyd Park Children’s Centre status, overseeing William Morris, Chapel End and Higham Hill wards, we were judged Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2012. In 2016 and 2022 we were awarded contracts to deliver the universal and universal plus services across the whole Borough. Our current contract is due to end in June 2025 and this will potentially mark the end of a long and successful partnership with the Local Authority and Health providers.

With Local Authorities facing increasing financial pressures we do not expect a similar contract to be offered. Whilst we wait for confirmation, we are conducting a review and exploring how we can achieve the greatest impact for our beneficiaries in the future. Trustees have approved a fundraising strategy acknowledging the potential loss of funding and the need to diversify funding going forward. Whilst this presents a significant risk to the charity, with careful planning we believe it also represents an opportunity to innovate and improve services and better align and respond to the needs in our community.

This year 4330 children used our community play sessions, up from 3365 in 2022/23, and 1302 children engaged in outdoor risky play at Grow Wild adventure play space, up from 1124 last year.

5 EE

Equality for all

Early Years Social Prescribing (EYSP)

Inequalities manifest early in life and have a profound impact on children’s health, development, education and life chances. Tackling injustice is fundamental to our charitable mission.

Wider determinents of Health

The wider determinants of health encompass a diverse range of social, economic, and environmental factors that significantly impact mental and physical well-being and shape the conditions in which people live, and children grow. Our key areas of focus are on parenting and the parent-child relationship and social capital, as social networks and community cohesion contribute to overall wellbeing. By promoting strong relationships in the home and across the community, we aim to positively impact health, well-being and life chances for children.

Supporting better mental health

This year we introduced the Fathers Wellbeing Service to address the lack of mental health support for fathers and expectant fathers locally. With £45,603 funding from London Borough of Waltham Forest we introduced 1:1 counselling and peer support groups in November 2023.

Our ‘Flourish’ post-natal peer support group ran for it’s 10th successful year, supporting 144 women with low level mental health distress.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Services for children and families with SEND continues to be an area of concern for our community and many families feel alone and unsupported. Strengthening our approach and securing future funding to expand our SEND offer is imperative in the year ahead.

Working with local families and Soundcastle, we co-produced ‘Musical Climbers and Creators’ (MCC) a safe and nurturing group where children living with SEND explore, play and connect to nature and enjoy a blend of sounds and music-making. Based on research, Musical Climbers and Creators includes group and 1:1 work that promotes engagement for children with autism or other social and learning challenges. Parents report more positive social interactions and the calming effects of the sessions for their children.

Our Early Years Social Prescribing service was the first of its kind in London and one of a few nationally that focusses on children 0-4yrs and their families.

Health practitioners referred 119 people for support with social and wellbeing concerns. Through trusting relationships with families, we aim to fully understand needs and priorities, provide support in a way that makes sense to the family and link them to services available in the community.

The prevalence of poor mental health increases in parenthood, and many of our parents experience low mood and anxiety. Families reported a range of positive outcomes, 52% had lower levels of anxiety and 64% reported improved feelings of happiness and life satisfaction.

Parents often identify barriers they face and gaps in local provision. We encourage them to co-produce activities that are more attuned to their needs and to use their lived experiences positively to help others facing similar situations, and this can be transformational. 615 families benefitted from using these co-produced activities.

We aim to support parenting and the parent-child relationship as this influences children’s emotional and social development. Children’s needs are often inextricably linked to the needs of their immediate family. To support the child, EYSP focuses attention to the complexity and dynamics of the family, relationships, and social and environmental factors impacting the child. There is limited evidence on identifying and supporting emerging mental health concerns in the early years. Our current and future plans seeks to explore and build on this area further.

Tackling the cost of living

More families have been pushed into poverty due to the cost-of-living crisis. Thanks to £75,000 funding from the Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund, we supported 465 people facing challenges due to the cost-ofliving crisis, as part of our Grow Well project.

Established in 2013 our Baby Bank provided emergency support to 571 people this year, with basic necessities including clothing, toys, food and nappies.

This year, 335 people found a warm space, a nutritious meal and a welcoming place to socialise and play at our Community Living Room and Kitchen, thanks to £10,000 funding from The London Borough of Waltham Forest.

Access to information and digital poverty

This year we have made good progress on improving access to information through social media and our new website.

We have introduced a new ‘digital front door’ so that professionals and families can see our services and refer or self-refer more easily.

Post-pandemic many essential services are offered or advertised online exacerbating barriers for those living in poverty. Thanks to support from Good Things Foundation and Vodafone we’ve provided data SIM cards to 257 families and mobile devices to 14 individuals and we offer free internet access in some of our sessions.

With £7,000 from Cash for Kids Cost-of-Living Fund, we supported 140 families facing financial hardship, providing vouchers for food, school uniforms and essential items..

Children are resilient

Resilience helps young children face life’s challenges, cope in the face of adversity and learn from experiences.

Our focus on resilience helps promote brighter futures for children and their families.

More inclusive settings

This year we offered a mix of open access and targeted activities designed to ensure all children and families feel welcome.

We introduced an Emergency Support Fund in 2022 to promote fair and sustainable access to childcare and other emergency funding for those facing financial hardship. This year we’ve spent £5,213 supporting 10 children to take up childcare or expand places to enable them to stay for a nutritious lunch.

Our two childcare settings supported 48 children with special educational needs, disabilities or developmental delay. We received funding from the Local Authority SENIF for 25 children and through Education, Health and Care Plans 14 children.

We use our blue targets to observe all children and work to quickly identify and put relevant and individualised support in place when children need it, always working in partnership with parents.

We have provided training for staff on Adversity and Trauma and have worked in partnership with Corum to improve support for adopted children. This has been a great learning experience for staff, and children have settled and are enjoying nursery life.

BSL Friendly Early Care and Education

British Sign Language (BSL) is the fourth most widely used language in Britain. But without BSL teachers or interpreters in educational settings, deaf children often face exclusion from education.

To address this, CoCo East (our co-production collaborative network) along with Flourish Specialist Education Services, introduced a weekly drop-in play and advice session. Families attending shared their concerns about finding appropriate early education and care services. In September 2023, we employed a BSL practitioner and have introduced a BSL friendly childcare provision at The Lloyd Park Centre. The team and children have worked hard to use BSL and learn about the deaf community and culture. Children had not experienced nursery life before and have really excelled in personal, social and emotional, and physical development and have demonstrated high levels of confidence and resilience.

Ready for School Project

Ready for School (RFS) is deeply committed to fostering early childhood development by immersing children in enriching activities focused on phonological awareness, numeracy and essential life skills. Our commitment to enriching early childhood experiences has had a profound impact on families.

Thanks to funding of £20,547 from Peabody, this year we worked with 10 families from a deprived community, impacting 29 children under 16. The project conducts three weekly sessions at Salisbury Manor Primary, supplemented by fortnightly Zoom gatherings. This comprehensive educational experience not only ignites children's curiosity but also prepares them for future academic success.

Despite challenges for families in balancing work and home life, the project has successfully supported home learning experiences and provides a platform for parents to voice concerns and seek guidance.

RFS exemplifies our dedication to addressing barriers to learning. We provide devices to bridge the digital gap and empower children academically. The Learning Book platform and provision of activity resources supports parenting in home learning. The RFS's inclusive approach has resulted in significant progress for children with Special Educational Needs, reflecting not only academic growth but also the development of crucial social and emotional skills.

Learning through play remains a cornerstone of the RFS project, with sessions serving as hubs of motivation where children actively engage in shaping their educational journey, demonstrating remarkable progress and developing essential skills.

Grow Active

Thanks to £50,000 grant from the London Marathon Trust awarded in September 2023, we’ve introduced more risk taking adventure play sessions every week, that have been co-produced with local families.

458 children have engaged in more physical activity and have improved confidence, physical fitness and self-esteem.

Children and their families are encouraged to find play opportunities anywhere and everywhere. Children are naturally curious and excited about their environments; their adults are guided how to facilitate the learning process.

Partnership is at the heart of the RFS project, with parents celebrated as essential collaborators in their children's educational journey. Working closely with Peabody and the School we’re able to respond quickly to needs and priorities and disrupt barriers children face in achieving their potential.

Voices are heard

Communities thrive and social bonds are

strengthened when everyone feels valued and heard.

By amplifying voices and including marginalised people, as a community we can address systemic inequalities and advocate for social justice.

Listening and Learning

We firmly believe that our families are the experts in their lives, that they have valuable insights into the needs and priorities for children and families. Consequently, active listening isn’t enough; we strive to truly hear and understand our families’ needs and experiences.

By maintaining close connections with our children, families, and local partners, we’re able to learn from them and share our learning with others responsible for services and polices impacting on children’s lives.

This year, we’ve engaged our community through one-on-one interactions, group sessions, surveys, and informal conversations, all nurtured by the trust we’ve built.

Recently, we launched our Listening & Learning campaign, which consolidates all our listening activities under a recognisable banner. This initiative includes short, straightforward surveys conducted both in person and online, focus groups, and shared community stories. Our findings will inform future plans and priorities for the charity.

Forever Families

This year, 38 families have become regular attendees at Forever Families, our monthly group dedicated to supporting families with experience in fostering and adoption. Co-produced by a local parent seeking to connect with and support others with similar experiences, our program offers a stimulating outdoor play session in a welcoming and supportive environment.

It is crucial for these children and their families to meet and connect with others, to share experiences and swap stories, and this helps to reduce stigmas, combat isolation, and alleviate loneliness.

The warmth and close-knit feel of Forever Families is heartening and inspiring, and this encourages bonding and nurturing among families and children. It also helps reduce stress and anxiety during what can be a demanding time.

Fundamentally families are helping each other to enjoy outside play, to feel their contribution is important and valuable, and by fostering friendships and visibility, we’re strengthen the bonds that hold us together.

CoCo East, Empowering local people to make change

578 individuals have benefitted from accessing services coproduced with local families and designed to support local needs.

Our charity has always placed co-production at its core. We collaborate with families to develop activities that hold significance for the local community. Through thoughtful and sensitive facilitation, we empower families to explore and take the lead in designing services that matter to them.

In 2021, our senior leaders participated in a co-production conference, sharing nationally recognised best practices. Inspired by this, we sought innovative ways to amplify community voices regarding local services and to facilitate meaningful change. Thus, the Co-production Collaborative for East London (CoCo East) was born.

Our approach to co-production emphasises empowering parents and carers to share their living experiences and priorities. Together, we learn from these insights, enhancing existing services and creating new activities to address gaps and local needs.

In our regular meetings, no one assumes an “expert” role. Instead, we encourage mutual respect for diverse journeys. We learn from each other, make new connections and support networks and create innovative solutions to local problems.

Increasingly, parent/carers confidently design and deliver activities, with support from the LPCC team, other charities, and local services. This collaborative model defines success for CoCo East

Moving forward CoCo East aims to find more ways to incorporate the voices of the child, the wider family and parent/carers to their co-production of activities meaning the activities they create and lead on will be increasingly tailored to their needs as CoCo East evolves.

Sustainability

Our planet faces urgent environmental challenges, and children, in particular, are vulnerable.

Our charitable mission is to ‘build brighter futures.’ By prioritising sustainability, we’re protecting children’s health and well-being and contributing to the preservation of Earth for generations to come.

Promoting Childrens Rights and Equity

All children have the right to clean air, safe water, nutritious food, and green spaces. These are fundamental rights essential for health, well-being, and overall development and crucial for safeguarding children’s futures.

Evidence suggests that climate change worsens poverty. This intersection of poverty and environmental challenges creates a cycle of vulnerability, where those with fewer resources face disproportionate risks from climate-related events and disruptions.

Our charity is committed to prioritising sustainability in all our efforts to safeguard children’s rights, promote health, wellbeing and equity.

Food

Industrially manufactured ultra-processed foods (UPFs) contribute to deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. They also contain chemicals that pose health risks, such as obesity and nutrient deficiencies. Our dedicated catering teams provide healthy and nutricious home cooked (minimully processed) food for our childcare and community living rooms. We’re faced with some challenges but working towards eliminating UPF completely.

Eating meat and dairy has a significant impact on climate change. In fact, it’s roughly equivalent to all the driving and flying of every car, truck, and plane in the world. This year we removed beef from our menu’s and have reduced meat and dairy products. We’re looking forward to seeing how this has impacted our Carbon Dioxide emitions in our next Eco-Audit.

Our milk use emits 12.2 tons of Carbon Dioxide annually (a typical car is 4.5). We explored the use of the Government Milk Grant, to include more alturnatives, but unfortuently have found that this funding can only be used for dairy.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Children are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of plastic chemicals which can affect hormonal balance, growth and development. Children may ingest microplastics unknowingly through food, water, and even the air they breathe and recent research has detected microplastics in human placentas which provide oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus. Reducing plastic use, recycling, and advocating for cleaner environments are essential steps to protect our children’s health.

This year we have reduced our use of plastic use and improved our recyling, including introducing child friendly recycling bins. However, we know there is more we can do and will continue to focu on this in the year ahead.

Our Pledge to Sustainability

Trustee’s made sustainability a priority in 2019 and established a working group. Progress was hampered throughout the pandemic but this year our Sustainability Subgroup has made fantastic progress, including:

Securing funding from City Bridge Trust Greening the Third Sector programme in March 2023 to fund an Eco Audit, used to create our Sustainability Action Plan, overseen by the subgroup.
Removing the use of beef and reducing meat and dairy across our menus
Adding climate and ecological protection to our values Improving green purchasing Training all staff on sustainability and climate change We are in the process of introducing a ‘Cloth Nappy’ childcare provision pilot.

Thanks and Acknowledgements

We’d like to thank the members of the Sub Group, that currenlty includes parents, LPCC team members and other local organisations working on sustainability including Womens Envirnomental Network (WEN), Nappy Ever After and Waltham Forest Cloth Nappy Library.

TWe’d also like to thank Donnachadh McCarthy and 3 Acorns for their energy, commitment and support.

Eco-audit

Thanks to funding from The City Bridge Trust Greening the Third Sector programme in March 2023 to complete an Eco-Audit led by award winning environmentalist Donnachadh McCarthy from 3 Acorns. The audit involved a site visit and walkabout, meetings with staff and managers. The key areas of priority identified includes:

Banking and Pensions Waste Food and milk Gas and electricity Paper Water Green spaces Events

3-Acorns provided feedback to managers and comprehensive training for all employees in September 2023.

The Sustainability Sub-Group have developed an action plan based on the audit recommendations and are overseeing our journey to net-zero.

Health and safety and safeguarding children

We are are dedicated to safeguarding the health, safety, and well-being of all children, staff, volunteers, and visitors. We collaborate with our stakeholders to promote a culture of continuous improvement in all our activities. Together, we strive to uphold the highest standards of health and safety, ensuring that every individual can thrive in a safe and supportive enviornment.

Health and Safety Team

This year our Health and Safety team is made up of 14 employees, trained to Level 2 or 3 in Health and Safety, who meet termly and work together to oversee and implement our annual plan.

Health and Safety and Safeguarding Policy

With the support and expertise of Worknest we review our Health and Safety Policy and with support and expertise of the Independent Safeguarding Service we review our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy annually. This helps to ensure robust policies that meet current legislation and best practices.

Risk Assessments

This year improving our Risk Assessment has been one of the main priorities, as we moved from paper based risk assessments, to the framework on our Worknest portal. Our risk assessments are reviewed annually on a rolling schedule and shared with the team.

Risk assessment will be the main focus on our September training day with all staff contributing to the review of the risk assessments applicable to their work and working enviornment.

Incident Reporting and Management

We have robust systems for reporting and managing incidents and concerns. This year, we recorded and addressed the following:

Minor Injuries: 2509 minor injuries were reported, all of which were promptly treated and documented. Near Misses: 0 near misses were reported. Safegarding CP1 forms completed: 26 Safeguarding referrals made: 20

Risks and Controls

Risks are an inherent part of any environment, whether at home, in our settings or the community. We are committed to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks through comprehensive controls, monitoring, and continuous improvement. Key examples include:

Security Maintaining a secure parameter, safe entry and exit procedures and ensuring all staff and visitors are vigilant. Slips, trips and falls Ongoing risk assessment of activities, the use of safety mats, closing wooden structures in wet weather and regular cleaning and maintenance of equipment.

Fire Hazards Installation of fire extinguishers, regular fire drills, and maintenance of electrical equipment. Health and Hygiene Hygiene protocols including those detailed in policies and effective use of PPE.

Children eating (choking, allergies and food hygiene) Supervision of children, hygiene practices and training, size of food considered, staff trained in paediatric first aid, dietary forms and working with parents to maintain up to date information. Safeguarding children Sustaining a strong culture of safeguarding led by our Safeguarding Team through robust policy, regualr training, monitoring and continuous improvement.

Training and Awareness

All staff completed mandatory annual health and safety training in January 2023 covering Your Health and Safety, Manual Handling and Fire Safety. All Senior Leaders and Site Services are trained to Level 3 and maintain continual professional development. We have a team of First Aiders and Fire Wardens, a rolling programme of First Aid training and Food Safety training for relevant staff. All new staff and volunteers complete comprehensive health and safety inductions, ensuring they are aware of their responsibilities and emergency procedures. Top Tips and information is shared with our team monthly.

Continuous Improvement

An independent audit by our Worknest Health and Safety Consultant in January 2024 resulted in a 92% score for both the Higham Hill and Lloyd Park Centres. Areas for improvement include risk assessments, signage, site services training for working at height, and monitoring cleaning of equipment.

Trustees conduct termly audits, including site visits and team discussions, fostering continuous improvement. Additionally, our internal audit schedule covers accident trend analysis, COSHH, risk assessments, and site services documentation, encouraging teamwork to enhance practices. The Health and Safety team oversees audit actions to maintain high standards and promote ongoing improvements.

Future Health and Safety Plans

Looking ahead, we plan to:

Safeguarding children is prioritised

Financial Review

The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity has had a challenging year due to increasing costs. At the same time we have seen increasing demand for our support services as families struggle with the cost of living crisis. At the end of the year we had a surplus of £115,644 before aOur Aims pension adjustment of £41,000. Overall revenue was higher at £3.63m (2023: £3.51m).

The movements in the funds are set out in notes 22 to 23 to the financial statements. Full details of the Charity’s Income & Expenditure are given in the notes to the financial statements.

Risk Assessment

The Trustees continue to review the major strategic, business and operation risks (Including Health & Safety, and Safeguarding Children) that the Charity faces. The Trustees regularly review of the strategic options for the charity in the context of the major risks facing the charity now and, in the future. The Trustees receive regular reports that monitor the financial and operational position and exposures to risk of the charity. The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to monitor and control all areas where there is an identifiable risk with financial, operation or reputational implications.

Working with families in the early years involves working in a high-risk environment due to children’s stage of development, their individual needs or the level of risk families encounter in their lives. Additionally, our charity chooses to target vulnerable and disadvantaged children and to operate in areas of greatest need. We believe that this is how we can achieve greater public benefit.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have a policy of maintaining reserves to protect against fluctuations in income. The Trustees policy is to maintain a cash reserve in its unrestricted funds which would enable the charity to continue its provision for children and families if its sources of income other than parental contributions were to cease or be delayed significantly in their payment. At the year-end, reserves of £680,279 (2023: £601,132) were held under designated funds for the improvements in specific areas of the charity as well as building up reserves for future committed programmes. As at 31st March 2024, the free reserves held under general funds excluding Pension reserve (i.e. available unrestricted funds excluding pension reserve) were £1,090,383 (2023: £1,023,499).

Future Plans

The year ahead will be another challenging one as the cost of living crisis represents increasing costs, more competition for funds and increased demand for support services.

Additionally, funding for the free early education entitlement continues to fall short and doesn’t cover costs for delivering this service.

We’re reviewing and diversifying our fundraising strategy, and looking for cost savings, as the need for our charity’s services remains high.

Investment, Policy and Performance

The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity has a policy of keeping its surplus funds in high interest UK deposit bank accounts. It monitors the interest rates on its deposits and the amount it needs to keep available in cash resources. The charity will review its investment policy regularly with a view to ensuring that it preserves the capital value and buying power of any reserve that it holds as well as providing a continuing income from its short-term surplus funds.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

Independent Auditor’s Report

to the Members of The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Lloyd Park Children’s Charity (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance sheet, Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the

Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by

exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement (set out on page 15), the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees and other management;
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, Charities SORP (FRS102), taxation legislation and data protection, employment and health and safety legislation. We have also considered OFSTED as this is a principal regulator of the charity;
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by;

making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Lloyd Park Children's Charity (Registration number 04802332) Notes to the Financial Statement 31st March 2024

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparing a Financial Statements

The financial statements of the charitable company have been prepared in accordance with the Charity SORP (FRS102) ‘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 (FRS102) (Effective 1st January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

Going Concern Basis

The Trustees consider that the going concern basis is appropriate as they consider the reserves level to be sufficient to ensure that the charity can meet its financial obligations for the next 12-18 months and on that basis the charity is a going concern.

Judgements

Apart from those judgements involving estimates, management has not made any judgements in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies that have a effect on the amounts recognised in the accounts.

Key Assumptions

There are no key assumptions concerning the future of other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Funding Accounting Policy

Unrestricted Funds

These are funds that can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives of the charity at the discretion of the Trustees.

Incoming Resources

Donations (including those raised through fundraising) are recognised when income has been received. Gift Aid income on donations is accrued when there is a valid declaration from the donor.

Grant income included in this category provides funding to support programme activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided ) under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions.

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Income derived from events is recognised as earned (that is, as the related goods or services are provided).

Resources Expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the expense item to which it relates.

Costs of generating funds are the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Fixed Assets

Individual fixed assets are capitalised if they cost £1500 or more and these are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation

Restricted Funds

These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objectives of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when the funds are raised for a particular restricted purpose.

Designated Funds

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Freehold Land and Buildings 4% straight line basis Leasehold Improvements over the term of the lease Plant and equipment 25% reducing balance basis

These are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects. Further details of each fund are disclosed in the notes.

The Lloyd Park Children's Charity (Registration number 04802332) Notes to the Financial Statement 31st March 2024

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and bank balances including amounts held on short-term deposit.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered and provision for bad and doubtful debts. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

Operating Lease

Rental payable under operating lease are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contributionplan and a defined benefit plan.

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income and expenditure account in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a projected unit credit method. The entity recognises net defined benefit plan assets to the extent that it is able to recover the surplus either through reduced contributions defined contribution plan. A valuation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The entity recognises net benefit plan assets to the extent that it is able to recover the surplus either through reduced contributions in the future or through refunds from the plan.

Changes in the net defined benefit liability arising from employee service rendered during the period, net interest on net defined benefit liability, the cost of plan introductions, benefit changes, curtailments and settlements during the period are recognised in the income and expenditure account. Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability/asset is recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs.

20 Pension schemes

During the year, The Lloyd Park Children's Charity operated two pension schemes: one defined contribution scheme and one defined benefit scheme.

Defined benefit pension scheme

During 2016, the Charity was successful in its tender and it was awarded the contract to run the Children and Family Centre Services across the borough of Waltham Forest. As part of the contract, a number of staff members were transferred from the Council to the Charity in July 2016 under the Transfer of Undertakings ( Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE).

A number of staff members had existing defined benefit pension schemes and, as a result, the Charity has the obligation to provide the agreed benefit to these employees.

The pension scheme for these employees is covered by the London Borough of Waltham Forest Pension Fund.

Upon being awarded the contract, 21 employees were transferred to the charity. Of this number, 1 employee remains with the charity as at 30 June 2024.

The Charity has been paying contributions of 22.1% for the year ended 31 March 2024. This is 4.7% more than the amount stated in the Admission Agreement with the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The Council has agreed to reimburse the additional pension contribution over the agreed 17.4%.

The Charity has also entered into a deed of guarantee with the London Borough of Waltham Forest regarding the defined benefit pension scheme to limit the potential exposure of a pension shortfall to £39,000. This has been paid and included within other debtors in note 15.

The most recent actuarial valuation for Lloyd Park Children's Charity took place on 31st March 2024.

As required by FRS 102 the defined benefit liabilities have been measured using the projected unit method. The tables state the FRS 102 actuarial assumptions upon which the valuation of the scheme was based.
