## **The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021** _**Summary of main activities and achievements of the charity in relation to its objects**_ 

Parks for Play is a unique charity created by parents, play and youth experts in 2004 to provide inclusive play and youth sessions prioritising children and young people at risk of isolation. The charity was in its third year of delivering after school inclusive music and arts session at Uffculme and Dame Ellen local special schools when the pandemic prevented access to school sites for anything other than essential delivery. The Children in Need funded sessions were due to run to the end of the summer term. Families with vulnerable children who were not key workers subsequently lost access to school and any external support and were dealing with untenable levels of stress. Parks for Play stepped in as a key lead partner, with an emergency response called Chatterbox Play Chain initiated by Children’s Quarter cooperative. Practitioners, who were able to work, became part of a production, delivery and doorstep drop off team creating 6000 customized play packs and delivering these alongside vital provisions to families, checking in with carers whilst also engaging with their children at safe distance. Children in Need and Short Breaks funds for session delivery were diverted to help support this initiative alongside Lottery grants through Children’s Quarter. This project continued until the end of summer and was a catalyst for cross city collaboration and new networking amongst inclusive practitioners.  It prompted significant individual generosity amongst Parks for Play practitioners and grew closer bonds with the families they were supporting. 

In early July the charity was still not able to use the school or community sites that were normally hired but Parks for Play identified two new sets of premises: one an unused day care Centre and another partially vacant youth project site. This enabled the charity to resume deliveries for all age groups which were delivered at double the frequency, in order to provide services at a safer scale, with distinct bubbles. Parks for Play ran Scamps (under sevens) and Smart (overs sevens), Source (over 12’s) and Source (over sixteens) inclusive play and youth services six days a week right across the summer delivering seventy-two sessions.  This provision supported regular beneficiaries, local disabled children and young people at risk of isolation.  It also made space for emergency referrals from various specialist organizations and local families. 

Session planning which puts children and young people with the highest individual needs at the centre of practice led by experienced, continuously trained and qualified staff, required greater investment to comply with Covid 19 guidelines. In addition to all the care around hygiene and restrictions around which play, and youth props could be safely utilized, there was particularly intense pre vaccination consideration around risk assessment. This was coupled with the creation of an admissions policy that gave priority of access to those families facing the greatest challenges i.e., single parents, parents looking after ill relatives, families dealing with bereavements and families with no access to outdoor space. The practitioner team worked hard to include all the children and young people most in need and meet their diverse individual development needs by customizing and extending their play and leisure opportunities. Practitioners also kept in regular contact with children or young people that were required to shelter. Birmingham City Council Short Breaks via the Dens of Equality agency and a Children in Need   extension grant supported the extensive summer delivery. Most children and young attending Parks for Play rely on the charity to access play and leisure and develop friendships in their own communities, outside of specialist school provision which may be located far from home. 

In the autumn Parks for Play continued primary and youth delivery at alternative bases with a consolidating desire to    seek their own delivery base.  A   planned children’s Halloween carnival of street play; Blue Moon   was at the last moment moved indoors to a large well-ventilated space with open sides to enable local disabled and non-disabled children to enjoy something exceptional and memorable amidst sustained restrictions.  To avoid policing adult social distancing families were able to be onlookers to a spectacularly decorated indoor event which was poignantly well received amidst bleak circumstances. 

Disabled children, young people and their families can experience significant social exclusion. Inclusive community play and leisure offers avenues to personal development and creates powerful networks which is an investment in wellbeing for all the family.   Parks for Play greatly appreciates and acknowledges the extension and the flexibility of Children in Need during this extremely challenging year. The adaptability of Short Breaks funds through Dens of Equality was key to sustaining support for families and Birmingham City Council’s help in in offering key workers access to vaccinations was gratefully received. The charity was extremely proud to have played such a lead role in the city-wide Chatterbox Play Chain pandemic support programme as part of the Children’s Quarter cooperative.   Parks for Play provided substantial management and the bulk of staff to turn a 150 square metre hall into a massive play pack production line, food and medical supply distribution and support Centre when resources were most scarce.  Parks for Play practitioners demonstrated widespread selflessness and loyalty and the trustees cannot thank them enough for

## _**Future Plans**_ 

The confidence developed by the charity for having worked so effectively throughout the pandemic and won such kind and inspiring appreciation from beneficiaries has shaped a new future. The charity will seek and secure its own delivery base and work to expand services to make the most of having its own home.  This will create further responsibilities and compliances requiring a stronger infrastructure and increased fundraising and reserves policies but in the long run will be more cost effective than renting a variety of premises. It will also give the charity and all its beneficiaries a secure delivery base and sense of shared ownership. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of the Governing Document and constitution of the charity**_ 

The Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It is governed by  a Memorandum and Articles of Association.

## **The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021** _**The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees**_ 

Parks for play will have a large annual general meeting in November 2021 when it completes its seventeenth year of delivery. This will be accompanied by a major fundraising event. Prior to this there will be a significant amount of outreach to expand its board of trustees and directors to be able to expand on existing services and run its own delivery base. Currently many of trustees have disabled children which can sometimes impact on their availability and capacity, but their experience and perspective are considered crucial Parks for Plays ethos and polices have always been well discussed and established the roots to guide future development. Disabled children and young people are the key beneficiaries, and the charity will not cherry pick and exclude any child or young person on the grounds of their individual needs.  The charity intends to double the number of trustees from November to ensure that there is always sufficient capacity for prompt response and to broaden the existing skills base. 

The Directors of the Company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and sit as a Board on a quarterly basis. 

The Board seeks to use the knowledge and skills of parents of disabled or otherwise vulnerable children and specialists in all areas of delivering high quality legally compliant inclusive children services. On their appointment trustees undergo induction and   have access to personal support to review Parks for Play's work, policies and procedures, financial management   and consider their rights and responsibilities. Further training and mentoring are undertaken by trustees on a need’s basis.

The charity is managed by a Board of Directors who are also Trustees. A services coordinator is appointed by the trustees to oversee all service delivery staff and financial management. Fundraising development and governance support are partly funded and partly donated to the charity.

The directors actively and regularly review the major risks which the charity faces. These risks are recorded on a Risk Register which, combined with risk assessments, enable the charity to effectively manage and mitigate risk.

## **Independent Examiner' Report to the Trustees of the** 

## **Parks for Play** 

## **Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report 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 to indicate that: 

- accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; 

- the accounts do not accord with such records; 

- where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail; or to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 

- any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.

**Parks for Play Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31st March 2021** 

## **1 General Information** 

Parks for Play is a charitable company registered and domiciled in England. Its principal activity is to operate as a charity established to support the provision of play activities. Its registered office is All Saints Centre, 2 Vicarge Road, Kings Heath, Birmingham, B14 7RA.

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. 

Parks for Play meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy, 

The financial statements are presented in £ Sterling, its functional currency and rounded to the nearest £. 

## _**Accounting convention**_ 

The financial statements are prepared,on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of freehold land and buildings and fixed asset investments. The charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependent on the continuing grant aid. 

## _**Incoming Resources**_ 

All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

In accordance with the SORP grants received in advance and specified by the donor as  relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met,  are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which  they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts. 

## _**Recognition of liabilities**_ 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants awarded are included in the statement of financial activities when approved by the trustees and agreed with the recipient. The value of grants unpaid at the year end is accrued. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## _**Pension Costs**_ 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the statement of financial activities in the period to

Rentals payable in respect of operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor  are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred. 

## _**Funds structure policy**_

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully the monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them. 

There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above.
