Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We have continued to provide high quality nursery education and care to the children of our local community.
We have had many fundraising events over the year, for example a Christmas Concert very well attended by the local community.
We held numerous sponsored events for the children throughout the year, also Raffles in February.
We had an Easter bonnet parade and egg decorating competition, Christmas craft days, which parents enjoyed participating in. There were also Christmas parties where the children received gifts from Santa.
We have an account with easyfundraising.org.uk which is a great way to raise money for charities just by shopping online. This has been a successful way of raising a little extra money.
We also had an end of the year “graduation” ceremony for our older children and raised funds by selling usb’s of this.
