Notes to the Accounts
- The accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis and no account has been taken of accrued/ prepaid income or expenditure
Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Stanbridge Out of School Club
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the charities act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
| . | examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act |
|---|---|
| . | to follow the procedures laid down in the general Direction |
| . | given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the |
| . | Charities Act) and |
| . | to state whether particular matters have come to my attention |
Basis of Independent Examiners Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or 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 in audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below,
Independent Examiners Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of the CIO are: a) To provide the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children during out of school hours on the Stanbridge Primary S h l it d b) To advance the education and training of persons in the provision of such care, education and recreational facilities. |
| The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and have agreed to the Club’s purposes as detailed below. |
----- Start of picture text -----
We see the OSC as having four
purposes relating to advancing the
education of children in the
Downend area, through the
provision of out of school childcare
at a modest cost.
Our first purpose is to further
advance the provision of supervised
play activities on the Stanbridge
Primary School site eg basketball,
football, group games such as ‘tag’,
playing on the school field play
equipment or using equipment such
as skipping ropes, hula hoops,
footballs etc
Summary of the main The second purpose is to supplement
activities in relation to the creative opportunities available
those purposes for the to the children, allowing them to
public benefit, in Para 1.17 and 1.19 express themselves through craft
particular, the activities, activities eg marking cards/presents
projects or services for Mother’s Day/Father’s Day, or
identified in the accounts. Christmas/Easter decorations,
learning paper crafts such as origami
etc
The third purpose teaches the
children to be ‘good global citizens’,
supporting the work of the primary
school, by providing information on
and arranging activities on
protecting the environment. For
example, reusing or recycling craft
materials or recycling food and drink
packaging.
The fourth purpose furthers the
children’s life skills, again supporting
work undertaken by the primary
school, by instilling values of respect
for others and themselves eg by
giving children responsibility for
clearing up or taking orders for
snacks etc.

Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
----- Start of picture text -----
The Club continued to run effectively
through the final leg of the COVID
pandemic, moving back into one
room after the year-group bubble
system was disbanded by the school.
Club leader and founder Jayne Uren
resigned in December 2021 and after
an open recruitment and interview
process, long-standing deputy Nikki
Morris was appointed as leader in
January 2022. A new recruit joined
us as deputy in February 2022, and
we also replaced other employees
who left during this financial year,
starting the year with 9 staff
members and ending the year with 7
(our admin assistant is now self-
employed but still works for the
club).
We invested in new equipment (staff
laptops, iPads and games for the
children), staff training, and also

Minimum wage pay increases were
implemented and for those on
higher wages pay was reviewed and
increased in line with inflation.
We have continued to review our
administration and financial
processes.
Payroll and pension calculations
continue to be outsourced, and we
also used other professional services
eg accountant for light exam of
20/21 accounts, plus HR
consultancy.
In line with our long-term aim to
become a cashless organisation, we
stopped using Petty Cash in March
2021 (previous financial year) and
this year invested in a card machine
for parents to pay on the day for ad
hoc sessions.

Financial Review
----- Start of picture text -----
In 2021/22 we finished the year with
a small surplus, a very good result
coming out of two years of COVID,
especially compared to the small
losses we made in both the previous
financial years.
Take-up of the club has increased,
and although costs have also
increased, we have been able to
increase our fee income significantly
on the last financial year.
Finances remain healthy despite
investment in new equipment (eg
staff laptops, games for the
children), as well as higher costs on
staff due to recruitment, wage
increases and more qualified/higher
paid staff on the books.
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the Para 1.21
end of the period Session prices were increased to
ensure the organisation is able to
cover its costs and retain suitably
qualified staff while offering a good
service. Session prices had remained
the same for many years and are still
lower than other similar local
services.
Ad hoc session prices saw a higher
increase than regular bookings, to
encourage parents to use this option
for emergencies only, as this makes
it easier for the Club to ensure
appropriate staffing levels for each
session.
We invested in a card reader for
parents using ad hoc sessions to
track these payments and reduce the
admin burden.
We have an informal policy to keep 3
months’ running costs eg £20,000-
£25,000 in reserve (but in the same
bank account) to enable the club to
continue running through times
where there is less demand (ie fewer
