## **Trustees Annual Financial Report** 

As hoped for, following the devastating impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns and restrictions, Financial Year 202122 was a much better year for the organisation. 

There was some disruption around the easing of the final ‘lockdown’ restrictions that were extended until July 2021 but overall, with some flexibility and careful planning, we were able to deliver our project work as planned. 

This included a very welcome return for our Community Play & Activity Days which were postponed completely in 2020. The Communities in which we delivered these events were so very grateful for the chance to be outside and being active and meeting their neighbours again 

Our Stay & Play and Saturdads sessions were also very well received as many parents / carers commented on how their children had missed the social interaction with other children and the peer support that they gained from other parents was very welcome. Our Therapeutic Playwork sessions were so very valued by both the children who attended and by the schools in which we delivered the project 

We were able to extend our Outreach work during the year at RAF Brize Norton and at Ark T and were able to deliver exciting, new projects such as Street Play within Cherwell District and South Northants and a new Junior Youth Club for Faringdon 

We were also very excited to be selected to be a part of the ‘Science Together’ project which will see us working with researchers and facilitators from both the University of Oxford and Brookes University. This will create a document entitled ‘Why Play is Important in Oxfordshire’ which will not only benefit our fellow Charitable Organisations in the County but will also enable budget holders and policy makers to have access to research and evidence specific to Oxfordshire 

We were able to return the organisation to profit this year which will help us start to recover from the heavy loss incurred during the previous Covid 



impacted financial year.  This year we achieved an income of £124.409 against expenditure of £120,608 giving us a small surplus of £3,801. Our unrestricted reserves now stand at £41,010, of which at least £20,000 is designated for wind-up costs. We continue to keep very tight control over our core operational costs and for this financial year they were almost 10% lower than in the last pre Covid financial year 2 years ago in 2019-20 (£26,238 compared to £28,306) 

We must say Thank You to our funders again this year who have been so very flexible with our projects and delivery due to the issues and restrictions caused by Coronavirus 

And finally, as ever, a huge Thank You to the small team of dedicated OPA staff who deliver the work of many while numbering only a few – their passion and commitment never wains and it is an inspiration to see the work they deliver and the positive impact they have on the lives of Children and Young People and the benefit they bring to those Children’s Physical and Mental Wellbeing

## Playday is the annual celebration of the Childrens Right to Play in the UK. 

The 2021 theme, Summer of Play, recognised the challenges children and young people faced over the past year and the need to enjoy time for play with their friends, having fun. 

www.summerofplay.co.uk / www.playday.org.uk 

- Playing is essential for children’s mental health and wellbeing. 

• Playing helps children cope with stress and anxiety and fosters resilience, enabling children to better deal with challenges. 

- Playing gives children the opportunity to have fun, laugh, take time out, relax, and build friendships. 

- Playing outside allows children to appreciate nature, the environment, and feel part of their community. 


- Playing is fundamental to children’s happiness, and happy children lead to happier communities. 



||**PROJECT**||**OXFORD THERAPEUTIC PLAYWORK**|
|---|---|---|---|
||FUNDED AND<br>SUPPORTED BY|||
||PROJECT DETAILS||To support Children & Young People faced with challenges<br>to increase their resilience, develop a positive sense of<br>self and improve their self confidence<br>Developed in partnership with the late, Internationally<br>renowned Playwork Theorist Gordon Sturrock|



Following our initial 3 year project funding from Children In Need OPA was successful in securing continuation funding from both the Oxfordshire Community Foundation and Christs Hospital of Abingdon to continue our Therapeutic Playwork project at both Windale School in Oxford and Thameside School in Abingdon. Both of these schools are situated in wards which suffer from issues when measured using the Indices of Multiple Deprivation 

- We worked with 6 Cohorts of 6 x Children to deliver 10 x 1 hour Therapeutic Play sessions within School Hours, each over 1 Full term 

- 36 Children in total – 24 from Windale School and 12 from Thameside School 

- The Therapeutic Play sessions were delivered by 2 Therapeutic Playwork specialists from OPA with extensive experience of working in this environment 

- The Therapeutic Playwork sessions offered a safe and secure, Child led Play Environment with an empathetic approach to Play that centred around clear and consistent boundaries to enable Children to express and act out emotions in a safe way 



## **KEY AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** 

- 1) Children and Young People are Emotionally Well – They can Play through and express their emotions in a safe, non-judgemental way 

- 2) Children and Young People are Empowered through Child Centred and Child Led activities / sessions 

- 3) Children & Young People enjoy Positive Relationships with their Peers and Adults 




## **WHO** 

- We worked with Children with additional needs who currently fall below the Oxfordshire County Council ‘Threshold of Need’ (those at Level 2 / early Level 3 on the County Council ‘windscreen’) 

- The project was not designed for those Children with multiple / complex needs 

- Children suffering Lack of Confidence, Social Skills etc 

Following meetings with key staff at the school the Children were chosen and referred by the school. Feedback from staff showed sincere appreciation of the positive impact that our sessions had on these children. 

The sessions were delivered on a Tuesday – ‘Tuesday Club’, Wednesday – ‘Wednesday Club’ and Thursday – ‘Thursday Club’ 





||**PROJECT**||**Street Play project in South Northamptonshire**|
|---|---|---|---|
||FUNDED<br>AND<br>SUPPORTED<br>BY|||
||PROJECT<br>DETAILS||Street Play events based on the Playing Out model<br>developed in Bristol and now delivered nationally|



Working with our partners at South Northants Youth Engagement (SNYE) we delivered a series of Street / Community Play events across South Northamptonshire. Like our Playday project this also enabled us to work in partnership with a wide range of other local organisations. 

We delivered sessions / events in Brackley, Towcester, Kings Sutton and Deanshanger 

This project offers ‘Doorstep Opportunities’ and brings Communities together to reclaim their Streets for Play, Activity and to improve Community Bonding 


Research shows that playing out on a street near their homes is vital to children’s health and wellbeing. Play England research has found that 71% of adults played in the street or area near their home everyday when they were a child, only 21% of children do so today.

–<br>PROJECT  Cherwell District Council   Play Infrastructure<br>FUNDED AND<br>SUPPORTED BY<br>PROJECT DETAILS  Supporting Play Infrastructure, Projects and Services<br>across the Cherwell District Council Area<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Within Cherwell District Council we co-Chair the Cherwell Young People, Play and Wellbeing Group and are also involved with the ‘Grimsbury Network’ working in the ‘Brighter Futures’ areas of Banbury. 

This work also includes attending Outreach events (such as Winter & New Year Wishes) which looks to consult with local residents as well as working with other partners in the District to plan and deliver large scale Community events. 

This work has also expanded to incorporate ‘All About YOUth’, the initiative designed to disrupt County Lines drug gangs and ‘OX5 Better Together’ which will introduce a ‘Healthy Town’ approach to the whole Community in Kidlington and surrounding areas. 

All of this work involves large numbers of local stakeholders and act as a focus point to co-ordinate service delivery, reduce duplication and share best practice as well as increasing delivery capacity across the whole district. 

Our work in these areas will link into the main themes of the Cherwell Play Strategy which include; 

Increased Participation / To Improve Play Spaces / Community Cohesion / Inclusivity / Develop Play in both Urban & Rural Areas / Promote Managed, Risky Play / To Introduce more Play into, and out of School 





||**PROJECT**||**Armed Forces Support Project**|
|---|---|---|---|
||FUNDED BY|||
||PROJECT<br>DETAILS||Deliver project work at both RAF Benson and Dalton<br>Barracks to include a Weekly Stay & Play session and a Bi-<br>weekly Saturdads sessions at each location|



Oxfordshire County Council was the first local authority in England to sign up to the Community Covenant and through its network of Childrens Centres delivered Outreach services to all of the Armed Forces bases across Oxfordshire. 

However due to budget cuts Oxfordshire County Council has reduced many of its services across Oxfordshire and its Children & Young People directorate will now only work with Young People in the most need. 

All of the County Council run Childrens Centres were closed in April 2017. They no longer deliver any 'Universal Services'. This means that there were no outreach services being delivered by any 3rd party provider at either RAF Benson or Dalton Barracks. 

Following initial 2 year funding from HM Treasury we secured 2 year continuation funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Trust to continue delivering this project which works with Armed Forces Children & their Families to not only provide Open Access, Play based sessions but to also provide guidance and services across the local area so that they are able to participate fully in local activities. 

Following the Coronavirus lockdowns and restrictions we were able to deliver almost a full year of sessions and Parents / Carers were so grateful that their Children were able to socialise and play with others (many for the first time) and the Peer support networks were back in place to help support them.

As hoped for followin8 the devastating smpatt of the Coronavtrus Pandemtc and the subsequent lockdowns
and restrictions Financial Year 2021-22 was a much better year for the organisation.
There was some disruption around the easiog of the final 'lockdown' restrlctions that were extended until July
2021 but overall. with some flexibility and careful plannlng we were able to deliver our project work as
planned.
Thls included a very welcome return for our Communty P￿Y & AttFvty Days which We￿ postponed
completely in 2020. the Communities in which we delivered the* events We￿ so very grateful for the chance
to be outsbde and being active and meeting their neighbours again
Our Stsy & Play and Saturdads se5slons were also very well receNed as many pa￿nts I carers commented on
how their Children had missed the social interartion with other Children and the Peer support that they galned
from other parents was very welcome. Our Therapeutic Playwork sesslons were so very valued by both the
children who attended and by the schools in which we delivered the proje
We were able to extend our Outreach work durlng the year at RAF Bri2e Norton and at Ark T and were able to
dellver excitin& new projects such as Street Play within Chefwdl Dtstritt and South Northants and a new
Junior Youth Club for Farfngdon
We were also very exclted to be selected to be a part of the 'Science Togetherf project which wlll see us
working wlth researchers and facilitators from both the Unlversty of Oxford and Brookes University to create
a document entitled Why Play 15 Important In Oxfordshire. which will not only benefit our felk>w Charitsble
Or8anlsations In the County but will also enable bud8et holders and policy maker5 to have access to research
and evidence specific to Oxfordshlre
We were able to return the or8anisation to profit again this year following the hea￿ losses incurred during the
previous Covid imparted financlal year wlth Income of £124.409 against expendlture of £120,608 gfving us a
small surplus of £3.801.
Our unrestricted reserves now stsnd at £41,010
We continue to keep very ti8ht control over our core operatlonal costs and ft>r thls financlal year they were
almost IO% lower than in the last pre Covid Ilnancial year 2 years a80 In 2019-20 {£26.238 compared to
£28,306)
We must say Thank You to our funders again this year who have been so very flexible with our projects and
delivery due to the Issues and restrictions caused by Coronavirus
