Trustee’s Annual Report

For the year ended 31 July 2023

The trustees, who are also Directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their Annual Report and Financial Statement of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022. The financial accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Standard 102 applicable in the UK and Republic of treland.

The Charity

J.E.TS Centre is constituted as a Company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. The company is registered in England and Wales No. 08139666. The Charity is registered with the Charities Commission No 1151208. The principal governing document is the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 5" February 2013. The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities applying FRS102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

Objects and Activities

The objects of the Charity are to: -

The Charity aims to achieve its objects through the provision of childcare facilities through two breakfast/ after school clubs, nursery and one holiday club for children aged 2-12.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

J.E.TS Centre is based in a large detached building in spacious grounds in Waterloo and within the school buildings of St Nicholas Church of England Primary School in Blundellsands and their Church Hall. All are conveniently placed for a number of local schools and supports families from the Waterloo, Crosby, Blundellsands, Thornton, Seaforth and surrounding areas.

Trustees Annual Report

We continue to work closely with all the statutory bodies and in particular Sefton CVS to help us develop and improve the services we provide for the local community.

Financial Review

The operational deficit on the general fund during the year was £1,507,

The current year deficit which remains a concern, has arisen due to the ongoing effects of the global pandemic, and its impact on demand for services and our ability to continue to provide adequate support from our staff. With the longer-term wider impact and the work from home rules we have seen an impact on numbers attending regularly and where parents were booking for 5 days per week we are seeing this reducing to 3 or 4 days on average. A reduction in central government financing has also had a negative impact on finances and with the loss of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme has impacted greatly on our ability to maintain our skilled staff base at levels which will support us recovering back to pre-pandemic fee levels.

On closer analysis of the income streams the Trustees, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer, have pinpointed that the Nursery service has been most affected by continuing ‘work from home’ options for parents. A thorough review of the Nursery provision has been completed with significant structural change implemented which we firmly believe will see the income stream return to surplus. The CEO and Trustees will continue to monitor this regularly as we progress through the current financial year. Additional short term working capital has been made available to ensure the transition period does not hamper the implementation of changes.

Our parent base has remained supportive of the Centre and their ongoing commitment to us has been heartening and given us the confidence to continue with the business and with the changes now implemented see a return to generating a surplus shortly.

We continue to look for additional grant support and are in process of applying for further support from Sefton MBC and a number of other Charitable bodies.

The Trustees are confident that the company will recover from the longer term impact of the Coronavirus and with the strategic changes now in place the Charity will return to generating a surplus and that JET’s Centre will continue operating as a going concern.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Page 11

J.E.TS Centre Notes to the Accounts

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
