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 to provide
the necessary facilities for the daily
care, recreation and education for
children during out of school hours
between 3.15 and 6.00pm, term time
only.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to
those purposes for the
public benefit, in
particular, the activities,
projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Our members are benefitting from the
high-quality after-school childcare
offered by HASC. As part of this activity
we further support other afterschool
clubs by offering a drop-off and pick-up
service at low cost to allow the children
to attend a range of after school clubs,
eg. local dance and sports clubs. For
working parents, it is a significant
benefit that their children can still
participate in such a wide range of after
school activities.

had regard to the
guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on
public benefit		 Para 1.18 The trustees have had regard to the

Financial Review

----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 HASC’s total income for the year was
financial position at the £127,849 (2022: £108,863).
end of the period Our operating costs for the year were
£140,936, These costs were up slightly
from the previous year, mostly due to
the increased rent at the new premises
at the Church Centre and increased
staff wages in line with national living
wage increases.
Funds are raised from fees paid by the
members (parents and guardians
of the children attending HASC).
Expenditure is only incurred to cover
staff costs, staff training, rental of
the premises where HASC is situated
and necessary food, equipment for
the activities of HASC.
Reserves are kept in a savings account,
no investment policy is deemed
appropriate as the reserves need to be
available to cover staff costs or
rental commitments for up to 6 months
in the event of a total loss of fee
income.
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 Our policy is to maintain reserves
policy for holding reserves sufficient to cover staff costs and rental
stating why they are held commitments for up to 6 months.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 At 31st August 2024 our reserves stood
at £49,618 (2023- £62,705 2022 -
£82,819) which reflects a slight overall
loss this past year but is still enough
contingency as per our policy above.
