The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law. 

The reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102. 

## **1. STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE** 

## **Nature of entity and governing document** 

Marble Hill Playcentres (“MHP”) is a charitable company which seeks to operate for the Public Benefit. It is limited by guarantee, incorporated 30 March 2001 and registered as a charity on 27 July 2005. The company was established under a Memorandum which established the objects and powers of the company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being unable to meet its liabilities, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.00. 

Each year MHP holds an Annual General Meeting where members elect the Council of Management. Members of the Council of Management (generally known as the Management Committee) are also referred to as directors for the purposes of company law and as trustees for the purposes of charity law.  There must be at least three members of the Management Committee. 

The time and place of the Annual General Meeting are decided by the Management Committee. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Management Committee may elect a chairperson of its meetings and determine the period for which he or she is to hold office. The Management Committee may delegate any of its powers to Committees consisting of such majority of members of its body as they think fit. The Management Committee may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Management Committee may be fixed by the Committee itself, and unless so fixed, shall be three or one-third of the number of the members for the time being whichever shall be the greater number. 

The trustees form the management committee and are responsible for the charity’s strategic planning and decision making, setting budgets and monitoring and controlling its financial performance. 

The trustees are involved as necessary in the day-to-day management of the charity’s activities, but also delegate that management to the operational manager as appropriate. The operational day-today management is delegated to a sub-contracted Playcentre Manager. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

MHP recruit new members through word of mouth, networking, local advertising and volunteer fairs where MHP’s vision statement and an explanation of the duties and responsibilities of trustees are set out. The Trustees oversee the management of an open, inclusive and efficient recruitment and selection process and ensure that all new and potential Trustees have access to the Charity Commission’s publication, _Responsibilities of Charity Trustees (CC3)_ , and that they have read and understood the contents. All Trustees are briefed and are aware of the legal rules on eligibility to serve as a trustee, bearing in mind that it is a criminal offence to serve as a trustee if disqualified from doing so.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **Induction of trustees** 

MHP provides trustees with an induction document which includes the Memorandum and Articles of Association, an annual report including the accounts and a copy of the minutes from the latest MHP Management Committee meeting. 

## **Risk management** 

MHP understand the importance of ensuring that systems are in place for checking that MHP is a safe and secure place for children, staff and other visitors. All staff, volunteers and Committee members undertake a DBS check. Our risk assessment procedures are part of a continuous process to prevent any dangerous incident taking place. They are the responsibility of all staff as part of their daily duties. 

In accordance with our duties under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, MHP is required to undertake regular risk assessments and take any necessary action arising from these according to provisions set out in the Health and Safety policy and elsewhere. 

The Manager is responsible for making sure that risk assessments are completed, logged and effectively monitored. Reviews are conducted when there is any change to equipment or resources, any change to the MHP’s premises, or where necessitated by the particular needs of a child or other visitor. 

The Manager is further responsible for conducting any necessary reviews or making changes to the MHP’s policies or procedures in the light of any potential risks that they or other members of staff discover. 

A visual inspection of both the equipment and the entire premises – both indoor and outdoor – are carried out daily. In addition, weekly structural checks are undertaken on the Adventure Playground. Ordinarily such checks are carried out by a designated member of staff on arrival at the Adventure Playground and One O’clock Club and are completed before any children arrive. 

## **Membership of other organisations** 

MHP is an associate member of London Play. 

## **Related parties and transactions** 

Information concerning related party transactions can be found in note 11 to the accounts. 

## **2. OBJECTS, AIMS AND ACTIVITIES** 

Marble Hill Playcentres was established in 1975 as a place for children and families from the local community and beyond to come together to play.  From its time as a council run facility to now an established member of the local voluntary sector, Marble Hill Playcentres has remained a vital part of the lives of thousands of children each year. 

At Marble Hill Playcentres our goal is to provide excellent quality play opportunities for children and young people of all ages and abilities in a safe and stimulating environment, enabling them to develop and thrive. Our traditional view of play continues to take pride of place in our core offer.  We encourage adventure and exploration, promote opportunities to take risks, and form the essential skills learnt throughout childhood.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022 

It remains our intention to provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, disability or social circumstances, with the object of improving their conditions of life. 

## **How our activities deliver public benefit** 

The charity provides exciting, adventurous and creative play opportunities to children under supervision of trained playworkers, in a unique and stimulating outdoor environment that helps improve physical and mental health, promotes the development of physical and social skills in children, and fosters the growth of friendships and support between families in the local community. 

## **The charity’s main activities** 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

Marble Hill Playcentres operates a fully supervised adventure playground for children aged 5-15 years and a family drop-in centre (“1 O’Clock Club”) for children aged 0-5 and their carers. 

We maintain a range of unique wooden swings and play structures on the site, together with “loose parts” that enable children to shape their environment.  MHP is the only Adventure Playground and 1O’Clock Club within the borough of Richmond upon Thames. 

We offer free access to low-income families, and provide FUEL sessions to children entitled to free school meals during the holidays. 

Our SENsational Saturdays club provides children with additional needs extra support to explore the Adventure Playground, while their families enjoy some much-needed respite. 

## **3. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

After the COVID-related restrictions of the previous year it was a delight to get back to some degree of normality and, for the most part, once again provide play and support services to the community. However, while our operations were curtailed in 20/21, we did manage to identify some key changes and initiatives that we have been able to put into practice during 2021/22. 

The most significant change for the Playcentres was our transition to our new operating model. 2021/22 was our first full year of our service delivery contract with Brilliant Play CIC (BP). Brilliant Play is a community interest company that offers a range of community based inclusive outdoor play and bring a wealth of experience and depth of understanding that our unique services offer. Under this agreement BP will be responsible for the provision of day-to-day play services at the site including contracting playworkers. MHPC will continue to cover non-staff expenses. We believe that this structure will enable a more efficient working relationship, improve operations and allow MHPC trustees to better focus on site improvements. 

COVID restrictions did remain a significant issue with our licensee, Mandarin Ducklings and the Playcentres having to coordinate separate play areas to ensure contact-free bubbles. We are extremely grateful to both Mandarin Ducklings and our own playworker team for the pragmatic and flexible approach they have taken to ensuring that COVID regulations, safeguarding and appropriate health and hygiene standards have been adhered to at the site.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022 

In March a planning application for redevelopment of the site was submitted to LBRUT. MHPC was not involved in the submission and Trustees continue to focus on MHP's own charitable purpose and objectives, and our core offer to the community, which is outdoor adventurous play. 

We were also informed in March that MHPC was one of nine local community projects that have been awarded funding from the £304k available in the fourth round of Richmond Council’s Community Fund. Our intention is to progress with our plans to provide improved vending and toilet facilities at the site. 

Applications were successfully made under the Department for Education’s Holiday and Activity fund (known locally as FUEL ‘Feed Ur Everyday Lives”) for Easter, Summer and Christmas Holidays 2021 enabling children in receipt of benefit related school meals to attend sessions at the playcentres. New lasting relationships were built with families who would not otherwise have visited the Playcentres. 

During 2021 we continued to provide an apprenticeship placement for a Heritage/Childcare Apprentice as part of the Heritage Lottery Funded 'Marble Hill Revived' partnership between Marble Hill Playcentres, Brilliant Play CIC and English Heritage. The apprentice supports both the services we offer at the playcentres as well as supporting families discovering the heritage of the adjacent landscape and Marble Hill House. 

Following a number of trustee resignations during 2021 we sent out an email in November to all our subscribed users asking for volunteers to join the MHPC board. We received an excellent response and were pleased to appoint 4 new trustee/directors from January 2022. The expanded trustee board has a depth of experience and skills that will be extremely valuable to the Playcentres as we continue to plan and fundraise for the development and enhancement of the site. 

By December our request to English Heritage for a lease extension was with English Heritage Territory Board for approval. We were anticipating confirmation in December but ultimately we received approval in March. This extension means that the MHPC lease is now firm until 2031. We are hugely grateful to the English Heritage team for their continued support and assistance. 

In April 2021 we submitted an application to Richmond Parish Lands (RPLC) for funding to replace our blue swing. The renovation of our play equipment was a key part of our planning as many of the existing swings are over 20 years old. By November, following a consultation with children and staff at the Adventure Playground, we commenced a lengthy process to select an appropriate supplier. We contracted PlayEquip to design and build an American-style dual swing which will complement the play offer at the adventure playground enabling new experiences and interactions for the children that use our services. 

A key element of our vision is to improve the inclusive nature of the Playcentres and to this end we applied for and received funding from 2021 Richmond Voluntary Fund. This funding will allow us to hire a part time SEN trained playworker and to provide some free play sessions to families in need. 

MHPC is able to deliver its services to children, young people and families only through the dedication and commitment of our team of playworkers. Led by Claire Chapman the permanent and seasonal onsite staff make the Playcentres a place that is loved and relied on by the community – both young and old. We also need to thank The London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames, Richmond Parish Lands, The Richmond Volunteer Fund for their continued generous support and all stakeholders and users for helping to ensure the Playcentres remain the vibrant, outdoor, child-led and adventurous environment that it has always been.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **4.   FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure was within the expected budget. Staffing costs remain the most significant cost to the Playcentres. 

## **Funding** 

Principal funding sources are the local authority, income from activities, and rental income and donations from charitable trusts and companies.  Grants and donations were received from a variety of sources, and these are set out in detail in Notes 4, 5 and 16 to the accounts. 

## **Financial position** 

The financial climate continues to be challenging for the charity, however we have continued to make positive steps towards our future sustainability through the nursery provider, improvements in our facilities and wider marketing to attract new users. 

The total income for the year was £67,049 (2020: £156,476) and total expenditure was £38,686 (2020: £155,491) leaving a surplus of £28,363 (2020: £985). Restricted income was £22,448 (2020: £77,219) and restricted expenditure was £22,448 (2020: £84,715) leaving a surplus of £Nil (2020: a deficit of £7,496). Unrestricted income was £44,601 (2020: £79,257) and unrestricted expenditure was £16,238 (2020: £70,776) leaving a surplus of £28,363 (2020: £8,481). 

At the end of the year the charity’s total funds were £55,021 (2020: £26,658) consisting of restricted funds of £3,010 (2020: £3,010) and unrestricted funds of £52,011 (2020: £23,648). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. As part of the Business and Development planning a Reserves Policy has been drawn up. This is split into four priorities: 

- Unrestricted Reserve – to build enough to cover running costs for a three-month period. 

- Contractual Reserve – to cover legal & contractual commitments in respect of staff redundancies 

- Equipment Reserve – to cover equipment replacement, relocation costs, etc. 

- Restricted Reserves - for funds restricted by donor and not available for general purposes of the charity 

In the financial statements, the first three items are all included under ‘Unrestricted Reserves’, as they are not subject to any restriction in law. The current level of such reserves is £23,648. 

The organisation seeks to maintain sufficient reserves to meet the running costs of the charity in the short term and to build up reserve funds for both planned works and unforeseen or emergency situations. The trustees are working actively to rebuild the financial position.

## **5.  FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trustees are working on a fundraising strategy to increase the financial security of MHP, together with a marketing plan, an EDI strategy recognising the particular value of the Playcentres to families on low incomes and children with additional needs, and a plan for progressive site renovations within the timeframe of our current lease with English Heritage. 

## **6.  STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Marble Hill Playcentres for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements 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. 

The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on 20[th] December 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

## Marble Hill Playcentres Independent examiner’s report to the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2022 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 set out on pages 9 to 23. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity 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 explanations 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
