SONSHINE CLUB – ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

Report of trustees

Covid 19’s impacts and restrictions were definitely felt by the Sonshine Club throughout 2021. Despite the hardships, we pushed on using all our creativity and innovation to successfully plan and run a variety of outstanding projects and activities. And also launching some new initiatives.

In 2021 we officially launched the big ‘ I ’ I deas I magination I nitiative

We learnt that no idea is a bad idea. Allow your imagination to go wild and aim for the stars to meet users’ needs. Use your initiative to maximise potential and to capture your audience.

During lockdown we used the delivery methods and project content developed in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, and focused on delivering at-home activities.

Due to the popularity of our exciting ‘ homeactivity kits ’ we have subsequently incorporated this element into some of our programmes. Beautifully packed kits are sent home to offer age-appropriate fun and educational stimulation.

As Covid restrictions eased, we were able to continue with many of our core activities:

Cycling Gardening community club Football club

Art group Motor skills programme

As usual, the activities attracted children with differing levels of abilities and needs. The children attending these activities all received vital assistance with developing their gross and fine motor skills, social and life learning skills, as well as increased mental health and wellbeing. This being more important than ever after living for so long with Covid restrictions.

We are pleased to report that many children have now been able to move on to participate in mainstream sports and other social environments.

Back to building back better!

Sonshine Club is constantly improving and offering new things. Our activities have expanded and are now wider ranging, and certainly above pre-Covid levels.

Support group for parents

As detailed previously, last year Sonshine Club was determined to set up a Support Group for parents of disabled children. We are pleased to report that we have managed to do so this year with the generous assistance of the Assura – Cheshire Foundation and the Postcode Lottery Trust who have helped fund the group.

20-30 parents now meet regularly at a local venue to discuss an agreed relevant topic over a light lunch. Topics include mental health and wellbeing as well as professional workshops on child development and associated issues. Parents also exchange ideas and a wide-range of knowledge and experience is passed around at these groups. This assists parents when dealing with their children’s challenges and different behaviours.

Meeting the needs of NEET (not in education, employment or training)

Although this term is generally applied to 16–24 year-olds, there are some children as young as 12, who due to the pandemic, found themselves falling out of the educational system. We have made it a priority to assist these young people to continue their education and have stepped in to help develop their social and physical skills and further their general wellbeing during this gap until they are transitioned back to school.

Snoezelen room/ lending library for children

The Sonshine Club, with funding support from the Clothworkers Trust and Jewish Childs Day , has hired a venue and set it up with a new facility with speciality sensory equipment. The facility is available to all families with a disabled child.

The facility offers a Snoezelen environment, (a concept first developed in the Netherlands and used widely in the Netherlands and Germany). Snoezelen offers ‘a controlled, multisensory environment’ and is a proven therapy for people with autism and other developmental issues to regulate themselves from anxiety etc.

The children come to congregate and feel safe and comfortable here. They can either use specially designed equipment that they would not normally have access to at home, or they can

choose to play with the toys or relax with a book! Children can also borrow toys and books from the lending library for a period of 6 week at a time.

Advising, mentoring and sharing through social enterprise

In relation to the above, during our recent financial year, we have advised and helped organise eight external organisations in planning an activity, programme or event for their beneficiaries.

We constantly share ideas and activities with 12 local schools as well as four schools in Barnet. In total 24 schools and organisations have been buying in services from Sonshine Club thus generating an increased income to the club.

We remain extremely grateful to trustees, funders and supporters for connecting us from 2021 to 2022 successfully!

Reserves policy

The trustees aim to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Charity at a level of at least three months running costs.

Risk assessment

The charity has identified and assessed the major risks to which it is exposed, in particular those of safety and protection of the vulnerable young adults whilst in the charity's care as well as the finances of the charity. The charity is satisfied that systems are in place and routinely assessed including procedures for Child Protection, Health and Safety, Vulnerable Adults Policy and Financial Management and Controls.

Responsibilities of the trustees

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the Balance Sheet, date, and of its incoming resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year.

b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

c) Follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP 2015, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements.

d) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them as Trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Law.

The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other regularities.

One of our trustees, Mrs Weissberger, has resigned from her position. We would like to thank her for all her efforts that she has invested in our organisation, and we wish her the best of luck for the future. She has been replaced by Miss Pearl Weinberg who will be representing the young people.

Board of trustees

The members of the board of trustees are set out on Page 3.

SONSHINE CLUB – ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

PAGE 10

Accountants report to the trustees on the unaudited accounts of the charity Sonshine Club for the year ended 30 September 2021

We report on the financial statements of Sonshine Club for the year ended 30 September 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the recommendations in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Issued 2015), and the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities 102 (effective 2016), and the accounting policies set out therein.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and reporting accountants

As described on page 5, the trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, and they consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 144 of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of accountant’s report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. These procedures provide only the assurance expressed in our opinion. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Opinion

In our opinion, no matter has come to our attention,

1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or

2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
