## **TRUSTEES REPORT – 2025** 

**Charity Name:** Arlesey Pre-School 

**Registration Number:** 1130845 

**Address:** Arlesey WI Hall, High Street, ARLESEY, Bedfordshire, SG15 6SN 

**Trustee Name:** Paul McAdam 

Our small non-company charity is managed by a small committee made up of parents of the children in their care. The Management Committee consists of a Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer with at least four parents acting as the committee. 

There is no formal process in recruiting any Trustees, they rely heavily on one of the Committee members to undertake that role. 

Its fundamental activity involves looking after and developing young children aged between 2 years and 4.5 years old prior to them leaving and joining main school. Their objectives are to try and ensure that the young children are readily prepared for their next big step. 

In the fiscal year ended 31[st] March 2025, the Pre-School held a closing balance of £5904.63 in their main account and £14333.12 in their reserve account. As a Charity they are not supposed to make a profit as such, but the reserve account means that they will have sufficient funds available should an emergency arise. 

The Trustee does not hold any custodian funds.
