Parks for Play

The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 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 prioritizing children and young people at risk of isolation. Parks for Play offers a variety of provision ; Scamps club (under sevens) and Smart club (overs sevens), Source (over twelves) and Source (over sixteens). Inclusive play and youth services are offered on weekends and during the holidays supporting regular beneficiaries, local disabled children and young people and often their siblings. The charity also makes space for emergency referrals from various specialist organizations and expands to take on larger numbers in the holidays.

Session planning puts children and young people with the highest individual needs at the centre of practice led by experienced, continuously trained and qualified staff. The practitioner team work 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. Most children and young attending Parks for Play rely on the charity to access shared play and leisure and to develop friendships in their own communities, outside of specialist school provision, which may be located far from their home.

Parks for Play started vital repair and renovation work on their new rented premises at the ex-city council Coronation Road Playcare in the April of 2021 to ensure it was a safe base for forthcoming summer delivery . Renovation and embellishment has been invested on a continuous basis wherever human and physical resources and any funding have been secured. During the Easter summer and winter holidays Parks for Play delivered free play and leisure sessions incorporating healthy food and physical enrichment as part of the Children’s Quarter Fit for All programme funded by DfE Holiday Activity Funds with match funding from BCC Short Breaks funds through Dens of Equality.

The charity also organized a first time overnight residential trip for a group of beneficiaries to Ackers Adventure centre which was a huge success for disabled children and young people. The trip facilitated massive steps forward in terms of independent living skills alongside entirely enjoyable outdoor challenging activities. Many of the young people managed personal risk and overcame hurdles to experience a significant sense of personal achievement.

Alongside the provision offered to key beneficiaries and as part of a commitment to opening up to the local community in their new home and demonstrating the value of inclusive provision Parks for play secured Commonwealth Games Funding. This funding ran monthly Sundays open to all local families. Th offer targeted locals with any children with any addit nal needs to come and enjoy free physical enrichment and play opportunities with a free shared community lunch with friends and family.

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 ongoing funding from BCC Shorts Breaks through Dens Of Equality and HAF through Children’s Quarter and Children In Need alongside the welcome embellishment of services through small grants to pilot new service provision.

Future Plans

The charity will open a new short morning service called Sprouts on weekends and in the holidays specifically targeting younger children with additional needs. This will ensure that with the move to a new base which has not excluded previous users of the charity, service take up transitions to being more rooted in the locality . The charity intend to looks at creating more services so that it is cost effective and makes maximum use of its new delivery base . There will also be a review of the infrastructure as with responsibility for its own building the investment required in managing a base and the quality of its services, there is a need for more senior staff.

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.

Parks for Play The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022 The methods adopted for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Parks for Play had a successful community event in November 2021 when it completed its seventeenth year of delivery to raise funds and raise its profile. This outreach was followed by an annual general meeting in January 2022 which brought four new trustees on board. Many of the charity 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 further increase the number of trustees so 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

Organisational structure and decision making

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.

Risk management

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.

Financial Review

Policies on reserves

The Board annually reviews the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. The reserves set aside provide financial stability and the means for the continuation of our activities in the coming financial year. The Trustees aim to keep at least 2 months’ worth of operating costs as reserves whilst ensuring there are always funds to cover redundancy costs . Redundancy costs remain nominal under 50% of a month’s operating costs due to part time positions and the recruitment of new senior staff in 2020

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
- inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

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.

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.

2 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of the accounts

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 2019)', 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

Parks for Play Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31st March 2022

2 Accounting policies (continued)

Taxation

As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Finance and operating leases

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

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

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.

Financial Instruments

The charity only has basic financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
