political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local

Objectives and activities continued
To establish, or secure the establishment of a community centre (hereinafter called °the
centre. and maintain the same (whether alone or in cooperation with any local authority or
other person or body) in furtherance on these objectives:
To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
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.

Trustees. report continued
New Irustees
We are absolutley delighted to welcome bNO new trustees. 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.
Th.anks to the trusts and foundations that have financally supported us, particually Danum PLS
who is long term supporter who give us financial support and provides both Christmas and
Easter gifts for all of the children.

a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosure8 in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees
Con￿rning any such matters. The Pro￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that
would be required in an audil and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair view, and the repjrt 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 386 of the Companies Act 2006. and
