Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The Charity was able to enhance the
experience of the pre-school children
attending the Nursery who have additional
needs. This provision was in the form of
improvements to the facilities for play and
learning, achieved through providing an
additional out-of-doors safety surface for the
children’s playground which is an essential
learning and activities area for the Nursery.
Additional grants were difficult to make this
year due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

2020, following its transfer to local authority

facilities

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Full details of the Charity’s financial position
are given in its annual accounts from which it
can be seen that there was a smaller increase
to available funds this year. This was due to the
Covid-19 epidemic and also because the
Charity no longer needs to actively fund-raise
following the transfer of the Nursery to local
authority control which now funds its
operation.
There were two significant single donations
during the year. Cala Homes adopted the
Nursery as its charity for the year, raising just
over £8000, transferred through CAF; The ‘We
Are Making a Difference Charity’ continued to
donate a grant of £1000 and there were two
smaller donations from the Jarman Trust of
£300 and an individual friend of the charity
who gave £200.
The Charity is in a sound financial position
and has more than sufficient funds to allocate
to the Nursey in the form of grants. The Charity
no longer has financial commitments which
have to be funded eachyear.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Reserves are held for future provision, most of
which will be allocated in subsequent years
following completion of the upgrading scheme
and the end of Covid-19 restrictions. The use of
these reserves will be discussed with the
Headteacher during2022.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £168,116.00
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23
Additional information (optional)
You may choose to include further statements		 where relevant about:
The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)		 Para 1.47 Sources of funds have included donations, both
regular, through standing orders, and one-off
donations as a result of fund raising activities
undertaken by groups and individuals. These
will diminish over time as the Nursery no
longer requires significant sums following its
transfer to the local Council and Reynalds Cross
School. Those individuals who have Standing
Orders to the Charity are regularly contacted to
ask if they wish to continue with their
donation.
The Trustees would organise specific
fundraising events to provide a continued
stream of additional funding for the Nursery if
such funds were required and reserves were
depleted,
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted		 Para 1.46
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 The Charity no longer employs any staff and
has no responsibility for the activities
undertaken at the Nursery. The only risks it
faces would be in relation to the events it
organises but there are no plans for any events
in the future at thispoint.
