YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022

II. Communication

We communicate with our stakeholders through our website, email, telephone, face-to-face when delivering and collecting children, and notices on the club door.

III. Methods used to recruit and appoint trustees

The board of trustees identify further skills required and seek to appoint new members to strengthen the board and where necessary to replace any member who decides not to seek re-appointment. New appointments are considered and agreed by all trustees at a meeting of the board. New trustees are invited to attend a trustee meeting prior to appointment. Following appointment new trustees are inducted into the charity.

IV. Charitable Objects

Our Charitable Objects as set out in our Constitution are to enhance the development and education of children primarily aged between 4 and 11 years of age attending Simon de Senlis Primary School (SdS) in particular but not exclusively by:

• offering appropriate play, recreation, education and care facilities at extended hours and holidays clubs

• Advancing the education and training of persons in the provision of care, education and in the safe use of recreational equipment and facilities for the benefit of the said children.

Charitable objectives in relation to Public Benefit

In setting the objectives the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

V. Aims and Purpose

Senlis Scallywags aims to provide affordable, high quality and inclusive wraparound childcare for 4 to 11 year olds for families in the local community and surrounding areas.

• By doing this, it helps to support families so they can be flexible at work and meet any other demands that otherwise could not be met.

• The Club aims to provide fun and appropriate recreational opportunities in a nurturing environment.

• To achieve this, it works to attract and retain high quality staff, advance the education and training of those responsible for providing the care and offer the use of a stimulating range of resources.

• The Club also aims to provide jobs in the local area and provide opportunities for voluntary work so that interested parties can gain work experience in the field.

VI. Objectives

To ensure club can continue to meet its financial obligations whilst staying true to our value of providing affordable childcare. To ensure we adapt to the changes in working patterns brought about by the covid 19 pandemic and to ensure we build resilience should any such circumstance present itself again in the future.

VII. Finance

This year as seen the club rebuild from many perspectives. As highlighted by the Playcare manager, parents are returning to the office more regularly and occupancy rates have increased. We have ensured cost of living and minimum wage rises have been budgeted for by keeping a close control of costs and only passing the smallest percentage possible onto parents in keeping with our “affordable childcare” values.

The biggest risks for us this year where ensuring we could build on our occupancy rates whilst retaining staff and forecasting increasing in utilities and other basic costs such as food. We are aware these will continue to rise and have been mindful of this when reviewing pay rises and fees.

A key objective was to return to a positive I&E for the year following several years of the club being loss making and having to use reserves. I am delighted to confirm we have achieved this and the club has made a surplus of over £21,000 this financial year. This will start to rebuild our reserves as well as enable our Playcare manager to increase activity offerings to our children.

Cash funds are £45,784 as at 31[st] October 2022. Funds are held in excess of the required amount (£24,000) though the committee may wish to review this figure in light of the significant challenges the club has faced over the last few years considering our resilience should we ever find ourselves in similar circumstances.

VIII. Achievements 2021/2022

1. Staff

• a) Our Manager remains the same but now has a different surname.

• b) Kim joined the team in preparation for Deb leaving us. Kim comes with previous experience of wrap around care.

• c) Deb worked her notice period and we bid her a sad goodbye, however she is happy to be a stand-in for us if required. We are thankful for that and we wish her well.

• d) Olivia left the team in May to work full time in an SEN school, we are sad to see her leave and wish her well.

• e) Jo-Ann Mantle who works as an LTA at SDS also joined our team and has increased her hours over time.

• f) Sue J also increased her hours at her request when she left SDS. This has enabled Pauline to pass over some of the session paperwork to reduce her overtime and gives Sue more time for EYFS which has allowed us to accept more Reception/EYFS children. An increase of 6 to more recently 12.
