## **CADLEY KIDS CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021** 2020-2021 was a landmark year for the club. It began with the Club having to continue to operate under restrictions posed by Covid, in particular the necessity to provide before and after school care in small bubbles and to operate from a number of indoor spaces. The staff continued doing a magnificent job of caring for and supporting the children, providing a range of activities and a safe, stimulating and happy environment. 2021 saw both the shadow of Covid beginning to recede and construction begin on the long awaited new building that will become the clubs home. By the end of the Summer term that building had been completed and plans able to be put in place for its occupation from September 2021. The building, to be named The McMullen Centre in memory of a much loved staff member provides a secure lobby, catering and toilet facilities, a small office and a large open space for club activities. It also has large doors backing onto the school field. This will enable the children to move between the indoor play space and the field, all under the close supervision of staff – a much easier arrangement for both children and playworkers than the current use of the hall and playground that are on opposite sides of the school building. TB/CoT/6-22 While numbers in club remained high during the year, the various concessions for parents/carers provided by the club in response to the hardships posed by Covid and some additional Covid related staffing costs resulted in the Club recording a small deficit (£471). The reserves shown in the Annual Accounts at the end of each August overestimate the Charities true position because its largest cost item - club staff and administration costs – is paid annually and retrospectively early in the Autumn term. However even after these impending charges are taken into account, Club reserves remain sufficient for the Club to fund approaching half of the capital costs of the new building during 21/22 as agreed when the building was commissioned. That large payment will appear in the Clubs Accounts for next year. The precise details of the agreement between the landowner (Lancashire County Council), Fulwood and Cadley School and the charity, in recognition of this substantial financial contribution, detailing the rights and responsibilities of each party are yet to be agreed. However this agreement will be based on the Club enjoying exclusive use of the facility during the times of before and after school child care. The Charity has appointed Forbes solicitors to represent the club and ensure that an agreement is fair to the charity and provides it with full recompense for the capital contribution it is making to the building that has enabled this project to go forward. The new building will provide not only a much enhanced facility for before and after school child care but a wider facility available to the club and the school to strengthen links with the local community in furtherance of the wider objectives of the school and the charity.
