The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. 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 management of the charity’s activities, but operational day-to-day management is delegated to Brilliant Play CIC under a services contract, under the direction of a qualified Playcentre Manager, who is responsible for contracting and supervision of playworkers at the site. The chair meets on a weekly basis with the Playcentre Manager, to review and plan operations.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
MHP recruits trustees through the local community, and via voluntary sector networks. The Management Committee conducts an open, inclusive and efficient recruitment and selection process and ensures that all new and potential trustees are aware of the purpose of the charity, the role of trustees and their responsibilities under charity law. Amongst our current trustees, we have expertise in finance, law, fundraising, safeguarding, marketing and architecture. We have recently recruited additional trustees with specialisms in young people and play, and in property management, to reflect our plans for development of new services, and to improve the buildings on site.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2023
Risk management
Actions to address both short and longer-term organisational risks, such as reduction or withdrawal of funding, and loss of key personnel, are reviewed as part of our monthly Board meetings, as well as risks and issues arising from any current projects. Safeguarding is a standing agenda item at Board meetings, preceded by a monthly meeting between the operational manager and the safeguarding trustee.
All playworkers are trained to assess and manage health and safety risks as part of their daily duties and follow established policies and procedures for matters such as lone working, allergies, and uncollected children. A safety inspection of the premises is carried out and recorded daily before children arrive, and actions taken to remove any potential hazards such as broken toys. Specific weekly structural checks and tests are also undertaken on the wooden play structures, and remediations arranged as needed. Risk assessment forms are updated whenever there is a change to equipment or resources, or to services or visitor types.
Membership of other organisations
MHP is an associate member of London Play.

2. OBJECTS, AIMS AND ACTIVITIES
Since 1974, our Adventure Playground (for 5-15 year olds) and One O'clock Club (for 0-5 year olds and their adults) has been providing adventurous outdoor play to the children of Twickenham and surrounding areas. The right to play, regardless of background, ability or circumstances is at the heart of what we do.
Our main aims are:
• To bring together children of different backgrounds, abilities and circumstances in an inclusive space in which children can behave authentically without fear of exclusion, to respond to diverse children and families’ needs, and to reflect the breadth of our community in staff and trustees.
• To provide a stimulating and safe outside environment for children and young people to play in our Adventure Playground, including towering rope swings, zip wires, tyres, planks and nets, offering supervised freedom to test their limits, problem-solve, and find out what they really enjoy.
• To enable local families with young children to reduce isolation and promote physical learning in our One O’Clock Club gardens with mud kitchen, willow domes, sand pit, large wooden pirate boat and playhouse, motivating them to explore, experiment and socialise.
• To enable children and young people to develop both physically and emotionally as they play, facilitated by trained and dedicated playworkers.
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 improves 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.

Marble Hill Playcentres
Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2023
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 (“One O’Clock Club”) for children aged 0-5 and their adults.
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 One O’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
Spring of 2022 saw the fruition of two major site projects to enhance the value of the Playcentres to children and families who visit.
Chief amongst these was conversion of a storage building into a beautiful kitchen and kiosk for the benefit of our youngest visitors and their families in the One O’Clock Club, and two much-needed toilets, including one that is fully accessible. This was completed in April, just in time for the busiest part of the year, and has made a tremendous impact both on our operations and on the experience of our families visiting the One O’Clock Club. We are hugely grateful to the Richmond Community Fund for supporting this project.
Meanwhile in the adventure playground for our older children, a lengthy process of consultation and procurement finally resulted in the opening of a brand new American-style circular dual swing. The swing encourages children to play together and interact, and blends beautifully with the adjacent trees along the path. We are very grateful to Richmond Parish Lands (RPLC) for enabling this novel and exciting addition to our play offer.
With these enhancements, we undertook a programme of awareness-raising to re-establish links with local families following the previous years of Covid closure and restrictions. A social media campaign, an old-fashioned poster blitz along local bus routes, and a stall at the local St Margaret’s Fair brought many new families to the Playcentres who were unaware of its existence. A free summer celebration on a hot day in July brought over 400 visitors, including local councillors and our MP, who enjoyed a ride on our new swing!
Our Halloween Party in October was another opportunity to showcase our unique play environment, albeit transformed into a spooky play trail culminating in a meeting with our coven of witches! This sell-out event was enhanced by news of our win in the London Adventure Playground of the Year awards.
In December we launched a new monthly newsletter to keep our users informed of seasonal session times, pricing offers, links to other activities and services, and our fundraising aims. This is sent out to nearly 4,000 local families, and sees high engagement of up to 58%.
During 2022 we registered for Gift Aid and started public fundraising for the first time, which will stand us in a good position to capitalise on the Playcentres’ 50[th] anniversary in the coming year.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2023
2022 was a year of consolidation for our services, re-establishing the focus on outdoor play and building relationships with schools, nurseries and local groups such as Mencap and ADHD Embrace, for whom the adventure playground is a fantastic amenity to let off steam and build connections within their groups.
We continued to build on our inclusion strategy with respect to children with SEN. Our inclusive play specialist added incredible value to our monthly SEN play sessions, offering much-needed advice and support to families while their children played, and building relationships with a local specialist school to facilitate weekly visits. The progress made by the children during the project in terms of physical development and confidence was remarkable.
Applications were once again 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 2022, enabling children in receipt of benefit related school meals to attend full-day sessions at the Adventure Playground, including a hot meal. Achieving for Children has recognised the very high standard of provision at the Playcentres for local children.
The trustees are grateful to the Playcentre Manager and the playworker team for helping to maintain the vibrant, outdoor, child-led and adventurous environment that the Playcentres has always been.
We want to express heartfelt thanks to Charles Harrison, who stepped down as Chair in June having successfully steered the charity since 2019 including through the difficulties of the Covid-19 pandemic, and who protected and championed the site tirelessly. We also thank other departing trustees who remain great friends and cheerleaders for the Playcentres in the local community.
We would also like to recognise the support and partnership of English Heritage in maintaining the site with MHP, as part of Marble Hill Park.
4. FINANCIAL REVIEW
Expenditure
Expenditure was within budget, including some significant restricted funds carried over from 2021 for improvement works.
Funding
The principal core funding sources are rental income and grant funding from the local authority, supplemented by public donations. Grants from other sources are used for specific projects including concessionary passes to families on low incomes or for children with additional needs. These are set out in detail in Notes 3, 4, 14 and 15 to the accounts.
Financial position
With a new nursery licence generating rental income to 2031 expected imminently, reserves built up to offset uncertainty over local authority funding, and a fundraising strategy for the coming years, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that MHP has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Charity has adopted a going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements for the period under review.

Marble Hill Playcentres Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31 March 2023
The total income for the year was £78,493 (2022: £148,847) and total expenditure was £110,317 (2022: £133,169) leaving a deficit of £31,824 (2022: a surplus of £15,678). Restricted income was £3,500 (2022: £58,688) and restricted expenditure was £27,322 (2022: £34,376) generating a deficit of £23,822 (2022: a surplus of £24,312) for the year. Unrestricted income was £74,933 (2022: £90,159) and unrestricted expenditure was £82,995 (2022: £98,893) generating a deficit of £8,002 (2022: £8,634) for the year.
This year’s deficits were compensated by funding received in the previous year (21/22) but not spent until the next year (22/23).
At the end of the year the charity’s total funds were £38,875 (2022: £70,699) consisting of restricted funds of £3,500 (2022: £27,322) and unrestricted funds of £35,375 (2022: £43,377).
Reserves policy
The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. The organisation holds unrestricted reserves to meet running costs for a minimum of three months, and restricted reserves, which are funds committed to specific projects.
The organisation seeks to maintain sufficient reserves to meet the running costs of the charity for three to six months, and to build up funds for improvement works. Unrestricted reserves as at 31 March 2023 were £35,375 which equates to over 16 months’ core expenditure for the next financial year and beyond. Restricted reserves as at 31 March 2023 were £0.
5. FUTURE PLANS
Following the successful development of the kiosk and toilets, Trustees’ focus has turned to the other buildings on the site. Funded by Habitats and Heritage, an energy efficiency audit was carried out in spring 2023, resulting in a range of recommendations to improve comfort and energy savings, including replacement of light fixtures and heaters and high-level window ventilation. A programme of works is being drawn up to include other internal improvements as well as external redecoration with support from English Heritage. MHP intend to fundraise next for an awning in the One O’Clock Club, to provide shelter from both rain and sun.
With a new plan to divide the One O’Clock Club garden, we have the prospect of running much-wanted morning sessions for younger visitors, in addition to afternoon sessions. We anticipate this will increase the number of families that benefit from the Playcentres by around 30-40%, and are planning staff and operational systems accordingly.
At the same time, Brilliant Play is gearing up operationally to increase use of the Adventure Playground during term time by meeting the demand for offsite, active wraparound after-school care in the borough.
Meanwhile MHP is developing a SEN strategy to meet the high level of demand and build on the success of the inclusion project in 2022, and will be seeking funders and partners to support this.

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 21st December 2023 and signed on their behalf by:

Marble Hill Playcentres Independent examiner’s report to the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2023
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out on pages 9 to 22.
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:
-
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
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
