Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstan￿$ of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
The number of children attending Beavers
Lodge Playgroup has started to increase
during 2021122, following the lower
numbers of the Covid19-impacted 2020121.
11 has been wonderful to gradually return to
a more normal experience for staff, parents
and Children, and to begin to work again on
projects such as"Forest School" and
training the children in tooth brushing. A
new website has been designed and set
up, so that existing and prospective parents
can obtain useful infomation about
Playgroup, and can see all of the amazing
activities offered to the children.
Para 1.20
Some excellent educational resources
have been purchased, including those
especially targeted at children with Special
Educational Needs. There has also been a
strong focus on physical literacy, with an
expert "Active pla￿ sports Goach working
with the children during the Spring Tem
2022. This intervention has hugely
improved the lives of our children, most of
whom live locally in flats without gardens.
All staff have continued to develop their
personal skills with many courses,
including training in Promoting Positive
Behaviour, Developing a Progressive
Curriculurn for Maths. Sensory Needs,

Financial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21
2021122 has seen the start of the impact of
increases in the cost of living, wth higher
utilities bills and a necessary increase in
staff salaries. Reserves built up over the
last few years have been utilised to provide
us with lots of lovely new educational
resources for the children and a much-
needed brand new website (cost - £3,350}.
Various essential maintenance projects
have been carried out, and we have
installed brand new LED lighling for the
whole setting {cost - £7,779) and bought a
new dishwasher (cost- £629). We have
therefore reached the end of 2021122 with
a lower level of reserves, but still with
plenty of funds to help us to survive any
potential financial difficulties that may be
encountered over the coming months and
years.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22
Resetves are held in order to finance
essential redecoration and refurbishment
projects, and also to provide financial
stability against potential future
expenditure, such as increases in staff
salaries and the increased costs associated
with utilities and other overheads. The
recent closure of our local army barracks
has impacted on pupil numbers, and until
the army premises are converted to
accommodation as planned it is likely that
our pupil numbers will remain lower than
usual, which is likely to impact on our fees
income.
