Objectives and activities To promote the benefit of the inhabitsnts of Thumscoe, Goldthorpe and Bolton on Deame and the neighbourhood together defined by the wards of Barnsley MBC {hereinafter called 'the area of benefit") without distinclion of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, other voluntary organisations in a common effort to advance education, and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare or recreation and leisure time occupations with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants:

The association shall be nonparty in politics and non-selective in religion. To cany on any trade or business whatsoever and to do all such things as are incidental or conductive to the carrying on any trade or business by it. Achievements and perfomiance Playgroup As our team grows in confidence they have embarf(ed on using a new communications assessment tool. The dedication and determination of the team has driven our standards up. The consequence is that the indvidual curriculum for the children has been adapted and already the impact of Ihe childrens developement is being seen. This has run alongside our well established play based approach giving our youngest children the very best start in lrfe. We Continue to support increasing numbers of children with additional needs and where it is available bring in extra support for them. We remain a popular first choice for many families in the area. We continue to develop our transition arrangement with the local schools to ensure that when children leave us their new setting is well informed and better able to support the children. The government announcement relating to funded places for 2 year olds for working families is no threat to us: if anything it reduces the financial pressure on the places that they previously used. We still offer a limited number of subsidised places for those who are not eligible to any statutory funding to ensure that this small cohort do not miss out on the vital support. Afterschool Attendance is higher than pre-pandemic Levels. Its great to see so rnany families that we already know and to welcome famiilies new to the area. To support our working families further we ensure that we maximise any financial help available to them. We continue to work with our partner schools to give a safe fun service. Govemment announcements about additional 5UPPOrt for extending wraparound care is still being developed: Our existing schools have stated that they have no intention to set up their own provisions therefore our service is likely to remain unaffected. Healthy holidays Having won the tender to deliver healthy holidays activities for children who receive free school meals. We have found additional funding to enable the children who are not on free school meals to also attend. Our local knowledge tells us that most local families really struggle to feed and entertain their children during the school holidays. Where there are restrictions on who can attend it built up resentment and stigmatises children. Each session has a food element and an activity element. This service has brought in new children to our overall service.

We specifcally asked parents, one from afterschool service and one who has a child with indvidual needs and atttended our playgorup as we value the voice and experience of the people who our childcare services are designed to support. Having been an essential partner in the Shop on the Go scheme, we are delighted when it was adopted in parthership with the local authority to become a boroughwide project. We still have our fortnightly service.. it's a great addition for both our Serrf1 users and the long line of local customers. We were proud to be asked to be a guest speaker at the first Barnsley poverty Action Conference, being able to share how the cost of living crisis has impacted our families and our community. th BBC look north featured us in an extended article about the 40 Anniversary of the first miners strike and what our community looks like now. The children loved to share their story and really were the stars of the Show. Partnerships remain intergral in our success, from the newly rebranded Family Hubs. Dearne Area Team, Big Local Thurnscoe and our food partner Fareshare. This reflects the quote 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We have never worked in a silo: Our key partner remain to be the families that use our services. By working with them we can ensure that their children get the best Start possible.
