## **Trustees’ Annual Return** May 2022 – May 2023 

## **Our Aims and Objectives** 

The 'Community Playcentre @ Walberton' (CP@W) is a registered charity set up in 2011 for: 

(a) The advancement of education and 

- (b) The advancement of citizenship or community benefit. 

Its objectives are to benefit the children and young people of the parish of Walberton and Binsted and surrounding areas, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political religious or other opinions by associating the said children and young people with the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the children and young people in such ways as the charity trustees think fit. 

## **Our local community** 

This rural community, as defined by the parish boundaries of Walberton, Binsted and Fontwell, is host to around 2232 people in around 1304 households. 2021 figures show that we had approximately 301 people under 14 years of age/not on the electoral register but this will now be more as the population has increased locally with some 180 houses having been built in Walberton since 2020, plus many more in Fontwell and Barnham.  Further housing developments are planned or in the process of being built in 2023. 

## **Need** 

The Play centre project arose from unmet demand for varied and high-quality children’s community activities locally, and that this unmet demand hinged on the lack of a suitably designed, well-sited, flexible and affordable community hall with sufficient capacity to meet the demand of the community.  Specific, detailed evidence of need was gathered during a local community public consultation exercise which identified demand for the following services: 

   - Breakfast club 

   - Day nursery care 

   - • After school care 

- In addition, there was evidence of unmet demand for: 

   - Holiday clubs – day care/activities during school holidays 

## **Location** 

The Community Play centre has been built between the Village Hall and the Primary School on land leased to the charity by the Parish Council.  The plot is ideally positioned, being in the centre of the village, adjacent to local retail businesses, other community facilities and to the primary school. 

## **Design and Build** 

**Page 2** 




The Play centre provides a community space for local children of all ages although the location and design will make it ideal for our younger children in particular.  Being DDA and Ofsted compliant and child-centred in design with features including: 

- a. Enclosed 100m2 flexible play space leading to a secure outside play area. 

- b. Toilets with a mixture of child sized and adult sized WCs and a disabled toilet. 

- c. Kitchen with access from play space 

- d. Range of other rooms including staff/meeting room, office and storage facilities. 

- e. Features include secure entrance facility, non-finger trap doors, low level windows (so small people can see out, with some window filming for privacy), bike storage, refuse recycling area and a host of other child and eco-friendly design features. 

## **Permissions** 

The building complies with/exceeds building regulations and Arun District Council planning constraints.  The setting is registered with Ofsted and incorporates Ofsted building design guidance.  Licences and insurances are held to cover all activities taking placed in the Play centre. 

## **Sustainability** 

The charity has created a high quality permanent, sustainably designed building, exceeding building regulations, with low maintenance requirements, and low running costs with a design in keeping with surrounding buildings including the primary school. 

In addition to the quality and sustainability of the building itself, the charity is committed to ensuring environmental responsibility informs all policies for the running of the building including sourcing, (eco-tariffs for power) recycling (a waste sorting and recycling space is included) and building user agreements to encourage responsible use of heat, light and hot water. 

## **Management** 

This is a local community charity, answerable to the community it serves and facilitated by a board of trustees, (unpaid volunteers).  The charity currently employs up to 19 paid staff, ranging from Early Years Practitioners, level 2 and 3, apprentices, Deputy Managers, Manager, Administrator/Bursar and Kitchen staff. 

The Trustees carry out work voluntarily in conjunction with the management team, to represent a committed wider community of volunteers and supporters. 

## **Financial sustainability** 

Every year, the Trustees continue to provide a comprehensive budgeting and business model approach which it commenced six years ago in order to manage its financial approach and delivery. 

The charity continues to have a positive turnover, a profit and significant reserves.  The charity continues to invest in our workforce as evidenced by salaries that meet or are above the living wage, payment of bonuses to staff, pensions above government targets and the engagement of apprentices.  The Trustees and management team have aligned staff salaries in to experiential level bandings, in order to remunerate staff according to experience and qualification levels and to provide opportunities for career progression. 

A £8,000 investment into the outdoor fencing of the Playcentre has resulted in the outdoor space being made fully secure and accessible by our children even during periods of wintery weather which ensures and enables them to exercise and encourages physical play. 

The accounts ending in May 2023 are in a healthy and positive state, including £175,000 in reserves. 

**Page 3**

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing Document** 

We are a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered as a charity on 18 April 2011 and incorporated on 19 May 2011.  The charity was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.  In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. 

**Page 4** 




## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** 

The trustees of the charity are also directors of the company.  Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the directors (trustees) had been elected to serve for three years, after which they must retire at the first Annual General Meeting (AGM); however, this article may be reviewed in the forthcoming year due to a lack of volunteer Trustees coming forwards to volunteer their time. 

All trustees give their time on a voluntary basis and receive no benefits from the charity.  Expenses can be reclaimed from the charity in line with charity commission guidance.  A broad skill mix is required and trustees are recruited by approaching individuals who have the expertise needed.  A Schedule of Trustees is in place to ensure appropriate community representation across the Board.  This describes the interests of each of the five Trustees. 

Trustees are inducted by having a briefing session with the Chair, in the first instance, to go over what is required of them; what their obligations will be by becoming a trustee and what the charity’s future plans and objectives are. Once the individual has agreed to become a trustee, we have an established induction process which is the responsibility of a designated trustee and new trustees are signposted to review the Charity Commission website, especially the guidance “the essential trustee”; we have found this information to be most useful for new trustees. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Trustees meet on a monthly to six weekly basis and all trustees have voting rights, except on matters for which there may be a conflict of interest. 

## **Financial Review** 

Funding was secured with a combination of local authority grant funding and Charity Bank loan to enable the construction to commence which began in November 2014 and was complete in July 2015.  The childcare has become self-sufficient with income generated covering all running costs.  Capital grants have been awarded to cover the purchase of specific assets and training.  The repayment of the mortgage continues, with the interest rate to be renegotiated after this period due to increases. 

## **Plans for the year ahead** 

- Continue to deliver and provide a learning environment, where children are happy and safe. 

- Investigate possible expansion plans, as the nursery is running a waiting list for academic year 2023/2024 

- Increase numbers for the out of school and holiday club 

- Introduce individual development plans for staff, so management can secure succession planning of roles
