Para 1.20 | ACHIEVEMENTS FOR 2020-21 The year 2020-21 and into 2021-22 has been greatly affected by COVID-19 and the closures of schools during March to June 2020 and Jan to March 2021. Under a new manager, who started in Sept 2020, OSCARS has nevertheless continued to deliver before and after school care and Holiday club to our families and gained new families from the local area to use our services in Summer 2021. As the country recovers further from COVID- 19, term-time places from the waiting list have largely been filled and OSCARS is now back at near capacity for term-time spaces, providing a more reliable source of revenue for OSCARS. In 2021, we invested in a new website and on-line booking system to make it easier for parents to use OSCARS and for the manager and Committee to improve the system of financial planning and budgeting. We have established a new “hang-outs” club for Years 4-6 which gives them an alternative space at OSCARS and dedicated staff and resources aimed at this older age- group. We have installed a new sensory tent in the main OSCARS building to help care for children with additional needs. Our summer programme this year was found to be our best and most exciting yet with very high take-up on some days with activities such as Inflatables day and trips to local attractions. OSCARS has made a £5k contribution to the Bark Area renovation on the school site which we aim to cover through Committee fundraising efforts over the next 5 years. |

We have received financial support from Frampton Cotterell Parish Council for a major roof repair to the OSCARS building in early 2021, and support with buying equipment to establish the new Hangouts club for Years 4-6. Ongoing repairs and maintenance to the building and kitchen equipment has also been required during 2020-21 and into 202122 such as the replacement of hot water heaters in the kitchen and childrens’ washrooms and the installation of a new fridge. OSCARS is now also registered as a CIO with Charities Commission and the Committee is in the process of registering this entity with OFSTED. Once these registrations are complete, OSCARS will transition over to these CIO governance structures. Priorities for 2022 We are currently drafting a 5 year business plan for OSCARS which will set out its strategic objectives and will incorporate plans to make improvements to the Building and eventually for a replacement new building. A revised Diocese agreement between OSCARS and FCCE Governors is due to be signed during 2022 maintaining access for OSCARS to use its current grounds and building in co-operation with the School. We are aiming to complete the move to the CIO which was agreed at the 2019 AGM, - which will offer the Trustees of OSCARS some protection from financial liability. OSCARS committee will hold fundraising events during the year to help cover our contribution to the renovation of the Bark Area play equipment.

Financial review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Income– Income for 2020-21 has fallen to £83,741 which is a fall of 30%. This includes receipt of around £25k from Government and other grants to support our financial viability while in lock-down and suffering from a lack of demand for out of school club places. Expenditure. Expenditure fell to £109,456, a 6% fall. Payroll costs – our biggest item of expenditure – were broadly the same as the previous year due to extra staff hours being required to manage separate “bubbles” of children across multiple rooms at School and applying appropriate playscheme staff/child ratios. A loss of £25,865 was recorded for FY 2020- 21, reducing our cash reserves by this amount. The cash position at OSCARS has improved during 2021-22 as child numbers have recovered slowly during the year and fee income has improved and become more stable. However, given the additional 1-off contribution made to new school play equipment and a large credit owed to a family which has been settled, it is likely that a small loss will also be made in 2021-22, with small surpluses projected for subsequent years, under current operating conditions. |
