JACK AND JILL COMMUNITY PRE-SCHOOL TRUSTEE'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
The committee presents its report and accounts, for the Charitable Incorporated Organisation, for the year ended 31 August 2020.
1. Legal and administrative
The full name of "the Charity" is Jack and Jill Community Pre-School. It is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by a constitution and, as a registered charity, the requirements of Charity Law. The constitution was signed on 8th March 2015 and amended on 10 July 2017.
2. Aims and organisation
The charity was registered on 8th June 2015 and took over the assets of the charity known as Jack and Jill Pre-school (charity number 1117230) on 1st September 2016.
Trustees are recruited from the pre-school community and are elected at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees serve for two years and may be re-elected for up to three consecutive terms. A chair, vice-chair, treasurer and secretary are the officers of the charity, assisted by a number of committee members who are all trustees. The committee meets twice a term and establishes the budget and oversees the running of the preschool. Day to day running of the pre-school is delegated to the Pre-school Manager.
3. Activities
The main activities of the Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age, by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of the children through community groups and by:
a) offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that the groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability;
b) encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of their needs in the local areas; and
c) instigating, adhering to and furthering the aims and objectives of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.
4. Achievements and Performance
The Pre-School achieved a "Good" OFSTED inspection in September 2018, which reflects the inspiring and constant good level of education delivered at Jack and Jill.
2
The main achievement this year, was to remain solvent, positive and keep the children engaged. The preschool was closed on March 12th, 2020, only to re-open in September 2020. However, the staff created a Facebook page only open to the children within the pre-school. Every day during lockdown one member of staff would post an activity or read a book to the children. The range of activities was varied from sounds in the countryside to a floating experiment to a teddy bear tea party. The staff also managed to hold a graduation ceremony online. All the staff and committee activities were online, with regular phone calls to check everyone's health and wellbeing. It was a very different year.
All this activity has been undertaken to fulfil the charity’s objectives and the trustees consider that the charity has benefited children from the entire community, regardless of race, culture, religion, means or ability.
5. Review of financial position
Total income for the period was £126,008 (2019 - £125,839) and total expenditure £114,496 (2019 - £120,009). This has been the result of the charitable activity over the year. The charity held cash at bank and in hand of £74,922 at 31 August 2020 (2019 - £63,410).
The charity holds ring-fenced reserves for the maintenance of the property & equipment of £15,000; and redundancy and maternity pay for staff of £22,800. The balance of funds are used for replenishing minor equipment, staff training and day to day operations. These are added to as funds become available from operating activity. No funds are held as investments and are consequently at no risk. The trustees are confident that the pre-school is in a good financial position to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future.
