Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees have kept in mind the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public benefit when

the year.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|The Trustees meet with the Headteacher of the

which the Charity’s funds can be used to
enhance the facilities and services provided by
the Nursery and funded by the School through

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.| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|| |Investment performance

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

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
