O c￿Ve Club. IinlluiifflllllliiMlllllllMIIMinrfttmlllllillfiffll Ob'ectives and Activities Our primary objective is as a Before and After School Care Club looking after Ss Aidan & Oswald's School children. These children range from 3 - 11 years old and we care for them between 7.30 am- 8.45 am and 3.15 pm- 5.30 pm. We also run a Holiday Club for children in the school holidays which we have children from many different primary schools in the Oldham area. Our aims are to keep children safe and to look after them in a caring and loving environment but with a keen sense of fun too. The children in the Early Years Foundation Stage framework are assisted with their learning. We encourage the children to develop their independence and explore the surroundings in a safe way. We offer a wide range of activities and opportunities to leam through play. Otsted rated us as 'Good' in 2017 and were extremely impressed with the age range of our staff, as we have students from 15 years up to adults in their 60's. We have both male and female staff acting as role models trying to 'model' a strong and emotional caring person, helping the children to follow their good examples. Trustees. Annual Report for the period ' Period start date Period end date | Year ', 2024 January 2024 To | December We have children on the SEND register who play alongside and are helped by their peers. We have Looked After Children who may need extra emotional support. We offer support for families who are 'Pupil Premium, especially through the school holidays. We ensure they have lunch and snacks. For the young students who work with us from 14 years of age, we develop their work skills and they grow in confidence. We also have mentored students who are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh programme. During Holiday club in February 2024 we had a 'British Heart Foundation Day, we had a raffle and quiz to raise funds for this cause. We did an experiment showing how the heart works, ate heart shaped food and showed the children a film about the heart. At the rollout of the Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF) to local authorities in Summer 2021, SS Aidan & Oswald's RC Primary School re￿iVed funds to support children who receive free school meals. To support the school in its provision of support, Care Club provided meals and activities to children in two holiday periods in 2021, (Summer and Christmas holidays), three periods in 2022 (Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays) three periods in 2023 (Easter, Summer and Christmas). In Summer 2023 we had activities such as Hygiene, Drumming and First Aid. We again supported the school by providing HAF in Easter 2024 which saw 'the Animal House Zoo, come to visit the children which included Trevor the skunk. Then in Summer 2024 our Care Club put fonvard our own 'Expression of Interest, in to the HAF Committee and was granted the funds to organise our own 4 weeks activities programme along with our 5 weeks Holiday Club which included a visit from 'the Big Comedy Club,, 'Oldham Theatre Workshop,, and also 'One Adventure who provided us with an archery session which was such a different experien￿ for our children. With the Paris Olympics we had lots of activities and sports on offer including different cuisines to taste throughout the summer. Again in 2025 we have continued providing HAF to our children in the Summer Holidays. Our theme this year was 'Health & wellbeing,. The children enjoyed learning about dentistry. We also had yoga and dance classes, as well as a visit again from the 'Big Comedy Club,. Oldham Theatre Workshop came this year and they were 'Fruit.' We hope to continue this support moving fo￿ard. *. Achievements and Perfomiance We have a large play area that is safe and completely fenced around, enabling the children to have Spa￿ to play and leam.

Annual Report for the period Period start date iDay Perlod end date Day 31 Month December Year 2024 anuary 2024 All on site staff have undertaken courses in Safeguarding, First Aid, Prevent and Food Hygiene. We have also made sure that all our staff have new DBS checks. We have a Fa￿book Page and a new email address which we use to contact parents and receive their messages. Financial review Our Charity's policy on reserves is to try to maintain that we have at least 3 months salary. We have no funds in deficit. Our charity principal source of funds is from parentslcarers. From January 2023 we decided to ase payments by bank cards and most families now pay straight into our bank account via Bank Transfer. We also have voucher payments from a wide range of companies. From De￿rnber 2018 we signed up to the Tax-Free Childcare Scheme and now re￿1ve payments through HMRC. We also receive payments through the Childcare Grant Payment SeNice. Our expenditure is mostly on salaries and we have maintained National Living Wage for our employees. We haven't increased the fee charges since September 2021 for school term time. In July 2025 we increased Holiday Club fees which haven't been increased since before 2017. The Im act of Covid-19 Coronavirus on the Chari At the end of March 2020, the majority of the staff were put on furlough and we utilised the Government's Job Retention Scheme to claim 800/0 of their wages back which helped especially with the charity having very little to no income throughout the lockdown months March -August 2020. With our reserdes being good for the first 3 months we topped up our employees, wages to 1000/0. We re-opened on the 3rd September 2020 but there was a slow uptake in places taken by the children and didn't cover the wages which is where the majority of our expenditure is. We used the Job Retention Scheme from the end of October 2020 and again in January 2021 to fully furlough and flexibly furlough our staff. Flexi-furlough is when you pay for hours worked and claim 80 % of hours not worked but we still had to go into our reserves for the Holiday pay at the end of December which you are unable to claim for under the terms of the Job Retention Scheme Guidelines. We are now below the reserves for the 3 month's salary as above. We also claimed for Statutory Sick Pay when our staff were isolating because of Covid-19 or had Covid-19. All on site staff, at the time, had undertaken a Covid-19 awareness course and understand fully what is required and were happy to follow the guidelines. All on site staff had undertaken courses in Safeguarding, Prevent and Food Hygiene. From the 3rd September 2020 closed snacks only were given to the children, for example babybel cheese, yoghurt tubes, crisps, bars, bananas, oranges etc. to ensure no cross contsmination. The Charity also now have a Pandemic Policy. Trustees. Annual Report for the period Period start date Month January Period end date ,Day 31 ", Year 12024 Month . Dgcgmb•r .
