Report
At The Cabin Crew we aim to provide a safe, secure and relaxed environment, offering a range of activities to reflect the interests of the children in our care.
Background to 2021
-
Covid restrictions were still in place for the Spring and Summer terms of 2021.
-
Schools were suddenly closed to most children from January to March 2021 – only children of key workers and vulnerable children attending.
-
Cabin Crew remained open to support those families and because the school asked if we could continue to provide wraparound care, as it was unable to offer extended opening hours due to staffing.
-
Numbers of children attending were low during the Spring term, which greatly affected our income and we monitored this constantly to try to avoid putting the club into financial difficulties.
-
Staff were placed on flexible furlough, and we applied for Covid grants from the Suffolk Community Foundation and Ipswich Borough Council as underpinning funding.
-
In November 2020 we had committed to the hire of two portacabins to help house separate bubbles of children. Originally hired until March 2021, we had to extend this to July 2021 as the restrictions remained in place longer than expected.
-
To help with the hire costs, and the additional costs for cleaning, PPE, resources etc, we introduced a temporary ‘Covid Levy’ of £15 per family per month, which was charged from January to December 2021.
-
We ran all our holiday clubs in 2021, however in the first half of the year numbers were affected by the pandemic. In February we could only open for the keyworker and vulnerable children attending Sidegate, whilst the Easter and May holidays were limited to a maximum of 15 children per day (as that was the bubble size allowed at the time).
-
In the Summer we worked with Suffolk County Council to deliver the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme. The aim of the programme was to provide fun filled days for kids, lots of physical activity, enrichment, and some delicious and nutritious food. Places were free of charge for those eligible for benefits related free school meals. The programme was very successful, with a lot of positive feedback from families attending, and the club benefitted greatly from the HAF funding provided by SCC and Activities Unlimited.
Income 2021: overall there was a big improvement on 2020
-
Breakfast, after school and holiday club income increased compared to 2020, because we had been closed for 5 months that year due to the pandemic.
-
However, income from these clubs was lower than 2019:
-
After school club down £17.5k
-
Breakfast club down £14k
-
Holiday club down £8k
-
Grant funding specifically related to Covid included Suffolk Community Foundation £5k, National Lottery £5k, Ipswich Borough Council £2.5k, Furlough Scheme £24.7k. The covid levy generated another £13k (approx. £50k in total).
-
In addition, we received grants towards our holiday club from Activities Unlimited of £4.5k, SCC HAF scheme £10.7k and we had a one-off grant from the Rope Trust of £2k to replace our fridge and freezer (approx. £17k in total)
Expenses 2021: higher than 2020, as expected, because we were open for the full 12 months
-
Refreshments – these returned to the level of 2019
-
Premises costs – a lot higher than usual, but this is largely due to the portacabin costs
After another challenging year, we made a surplus of £18,897 compared to £1,059 for 2020, which is very encouraging.
