Additional governance Issues
Beehivo Preschool Playgroup is a stand-alone charllable group that is a metnber of th8 National body, th8
Pre•school L88rning Alliance. Be8hive is a military sponsored group In Ihal11 operates out of a milllary
communlly c8nlre and prlmarlly supports thg group on a fill-up basls. The main cause for conc8rnlr18k, Is
that the group must have suffScienl reserves lo meet Ils staff redundancy Ilabililies should the group close.
The group has therefore had a long-standing commllment to ensure that sufficient reserves are always In
place ta meet Ihis cost. In addition. the Mllilary could remove Its 8ponsorshlp at any time, resulting in a
subslanlial increaso to the running costs.
