Report
We are pleased to present the Trustee’s Annual Report for the period 1[st] January 2023 to 31[st] December 2023.
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.
All our clubs continue to flourish, and our intake of Reception children for the beginning of the academic year in September 2023 was particularly high with 21 joining the club.
In the Easter and Summer holidays we again worked with Suffolk County Council to deliver the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme. The aim of the programme is to provide fun filled days for kids, lots of physical activity, enrichment, and some delicious and nutritious food. Places are free of charge for those eligible for benefits-related free school meals. The programme was again very successful, with a lot of positive feedback from families attending, and the club benefitted greatly from the HAF funding provided by SCC, which was approximately £9,000.
We were also awarded a £13,000 grant from Activities Unlimited to support all our holiday clubs across the year. The funding was awarded as we have a high number of SEN children who regularly access our holiday clubs and enables us to enhance the staff ratio to support them and provide different workshops, experiences, activities and respite throughout the holidays.
In May 2023 we had a full Ofsted inspection. We were delighted to achieve the highest grading available for an out-of-school club, which is ‘met’. There are three possible grades for out-of-school clubs:
-
met
-
not met with actions
-
not met with enforcement
The inspection report contained many positive comments about the club and praise for all the staff.
Our staff numbers increased from 23 members in January 2023 to 29 at the end of the year. Across the year we had 11 new staff members joining and 6 leaving.
Income from our breakfast, after school and holiday clubs was slightly higher than in 2022, which resulted in an increase in our overall income of £4,397. Our overall expenditure in 2023 was very similar to the previous year. In 2023 we invested in some new play equipment and craft resources. The cost of refreshments increased as we began to offer more hot food options at after school club. After another challenging year, we ended with a surplus of £17,541, which is very encouraging.
In November 2023 we held our AGM and welcomed three new parent representatives to our committee, Natasha Clifton, Lianne Fountain and John Carswell.
