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.
