ee ST JOSEPH'S CHILD CARE GROUP re Enna a aaa TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 cee

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

In ine with the Child Care Group reserves policy, the Child Care Group intends to build up a reserve equivalent to three months operating costs. This reserve would then be used, if required to do so, to cover the costs associated with winding down the provision.

In accordance with our loan agreement the CCG has gifted £5,000 to the St Joseph’s Catholic Parish in the previous financial year. We have gift a further £5,000 in this academic year.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Charity has had a successful sixteen years in operation. We have successfully developed all settings and they continue in a sound financial position despite the impact of the Pandemic. The Charity continues to work in association with St. Joseph's School to promote the use of this Community Room. The settings continue to run independently on behalf of the Charity. This has been a very challenging year again because of the current economic environment which Is set to continue for the foreseeable future. The inclusion of the CTSA for this year has had a positive effect. The charity has been subject to challenging financial conditions. Tight financial control will continue to be our main focus for the coming year together with preparation for inspection.

d. Principal funding

There are now three principal funding sources:

1. Fees this fs the largest funding source and is paid by the parents. 2. Early Years Funding Grant, this provides for 15 hours of free funding to parents pald directly to the setting for children aged 3+, an additional 15 hours funding for working parents.

2. Training fees generated by the CTSA.

e. Financial review

There wasa deficit for the year of £16,400 however, at the year end, the charity still held total reserves of £123,253. There were no funds held for restricted purposes. The charity is slowly recovering from the longer term of the pandemic. We have recovered consistently and whilst we are not yet back to a pre-pandemic position we continue to make steady progress. The Cost of Living Crisis has also impacted our after school provision. This Is recovering well, but it still represents a significant event. We have a clear plan with regards to our Staff to pupils’ ratio to ensure that we are financially viable over the long term. Trustees have closely monitored the financial performance of the individual stings to minimize any risk of failure. Going forward the trustees will adopt the same strategy, to insure that the viabllity of the setting are always considered. An external OFSTED inspeciion will validate this further.

support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are
allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support
costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a
basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time
spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities Is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the
