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 in the process of being built in 2024/2025.

Need

The Playcentre 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

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.

Page 2

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 21 paid staff, ranging from Early Years Practitioners - level 2 and 3, Apprentices, Deputy Manager, Manager, Administrator/Bursar, Kitchen staff and Bank workers.

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 eight years ago to manage its financial approach and provide adequate reserves.

The charity continues to have a positive turnover, 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 2024 are in a healthy and positive state, including £175,000 in reserves.

The focus of our work

Our main objectives for the year were to:

Provide a steady build-up of supporting and caring for more children in a controlled manner following a preprepared business model.
create a month by month, year to date financial plan based on anticipated business model predictions of growth in child numbers.
the engagement and retention of qualified staff who are remunerated appropriately.
the implementation of a managerial structure to provide support to staff.
establish sub-committees as part of a streamlined Trustee engagement model that will focus trustees into their key interest areas.

increase the scope and size of the operational management team in order that more support can be given to all staff.
continue to deliver provide a learning environment, where children are happy and safe
continue to provide healthy, home cooked meals.
establish nursery and holiday clubs and increase breakfast and afterschool numbers.

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.

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.

Page 4

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 six 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 re-negotiated 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 until September 2026.
Increase numbers for the out of school and holiday club
Introduce individual development plans for staff, so management can secure succession planning of roles

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE COMMUNITY PLAYCENTRE @ WALBERTON

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Community PlayCentre @ Walberton ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st May 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
