TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
The trustees present their annual report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2025.
Aims and objectives
Our charity’s purposes, as set out in the objects contained in the charity’s constitution, are to provide and assist in the provision of childcare and education services for the benefit of the community in particular to enhance the development and education of children between 3 years 6 months and 11 years 6 months by offering appropriate play education and care facilities and training courses within the Oldham area.
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. We look at what we have achieved and the outcome of our work in the previous 12 months. We look at the strengths and areas for improvement our provision.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Our main activity is ‘advancement of education’ by delivering learning through play activities. We are registered with Ofsted to provide care and learning for children from nursery to year six children.
The trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and discuss this at our trustees meetings where we plan and make decisions for the carrying out of our activities to which the guidance is relevant.
Who has used and benefited from our services
Children and families from the Oldham area have attended our provision on a regular basis, facilitating parents to continue, take up work or attend college courses.
Financial review
Funding continues to be provided by fees paid by parents. Our fees have been kept at a very low rate, to enable as many parents to access our service as possible.
We are contributing to a hardship fund and the local food bank to help parents in the local area.
Investment policy
Aside from reserves most of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short term, so there are few funds for long term investment. Having considered the options available the trustees decided to invest monies to improve and provide constant access to outdoor play as per our statutory charity requirements.
Reserves
The charity retains sufficient funds to meet statutory redundancy requirements and sufficient funds to maintain 4 months expenditure. The remaining monies will be used to support improvements in all play and learning areas.
Achievements for the year
We have continued to stay focused on our intention to increase our reserves to safeguard the charity going forward into the future. Last year we invested in an outdoor play area which we use on a daily basis.

REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CORPUS CHRISTI BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL CARE SERVICE CIO
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
I report on the accounts of Corpus Christi Before & After School Care Service CIO for the year ended 31 August 2025 as set out on pages 6 to 8.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
-
~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
-
~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiners Statement
I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 August 2025.
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
-
~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
1. Receipts and Payments Accounts
Receipts and Payments accounts are statements that summarise the movement of cash into and out of the organisation during the financial year. In this context “cash” includes cash equivalents, for example, bank accounts where cash can be readily withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due.
2. Incoming Resources
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income. It is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income from fees represents fees earned in respect of looking after the children in the before and after school service.
3. Resources Expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount for the obligation can be measured reliably.
4. Trustees & Staff Costs
During the financial year 2 trustees received remuneration as employees. No employee received emoluments of £60,000 or above (2024: none).
