Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its
governlng document
TAR
March 2012

Trustees have had regard to the publlc benefit guides PBI, PB2 and PB3 when
making decisions they are relevant to. New tru5tee5 must read these
documents, which are must be taken into consideration when planning the
charity's activities for the ahead.
The following statement summarises the way in which the Kitchen Club projects
have contributed to the public beneflt:
'Our work continues to focus on engagin8 hard to reach and vulnerable families
in projects where parents and children work wlth an experienced food
professional to prepare a healthy vegetarian meal with fresh ingredients.
Families can also access a rfch play and learning environment, with activities
facilitated by staff and volunteers. Activities include painting, craftwork,
puzzles and storytelling. In consultation with parents, the menu changes for
each session, with opportunities for parents to co-lead sessions. Recipe cards
are available to take home for each session.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include withln
thls sectlon tho statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on publlc
beneflt)
Kitchen Club provides opportunities for Informal, experiential learning, fosters
networks of accessible, local support and improves mental well-being. We also
aim to connect familles wlth further support through signposting and referrals.
Preparing and sharing food together makes it easier to establlsh new
relatlonships and may be particularly attractive to families who canr)ot easily
afford to eat well. It is also a great opportunlty to develop social skills. As well
as reducing social isolation and improvin8 access to good quallty food, Kltchen
Club addresses several other key determinants of mental well-being including
involvement in learning and opportunities to be valued, take control and
influence decisions. Working through food is also an important opportunlty to
encourage healthy eatlng, partlcularly because children Browing up in low-
income communities are less likely to eat well.
We have a special focus on working with famllles Ilvlng In temporary
accommodation and Insecure housing.,

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
PARENT CLUB
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trnstees of Parent Club
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Parent Club (also known as the
Kitchen Club) for the year ended 31" December 2024 which comprise the summary of
receipts and payments and the statement of assets and liabilities.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body? in accordance with section 145
of the Charities Act 2011. My work h&8 been undertaken so that I might state to the charity.
trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other pu￿OSe.
To the full¢st ¢xt¢nt p¢rn]itt¢d by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this reporL or for
the opinions I have fonneAI.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act,).
I report in respect of my examination of Ihe charity's a¢￿untS carried out under section 145
of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions
given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of th¢ Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be
required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers
in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the
limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no
audit opinion on the accounts and my report is limit￿ to those specific matters set out in the
ind¢pendent ¢xaminer's statement.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my exarnination. I confinn that no material matters have come to my
attention in Connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material
respect:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of th¢
> the acwunts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination
to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to ¢nabl¢ a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
