had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity

benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees have kept in mind 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 have met with the

ways in which the Charity’s funds can
be used to enhance the facilities and
services provided by the Nursery and

the Charity are the Trustees
themselves who distribute funds held
by the Charity. The Charity holds
sufcient funds to pay for or| contribute to any requests made the Headteacher.

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
with additional needs who attend the
Nursery. This provision was in the
form of an all-weather safety surface
for the outdoor play and learning area
reducing the potential for accidents
by covering the ground with a
dedicated outdoor safety surface so
that it is accessible by all children
most, if not all, of whom cannot walk
easily or are in wheelchairs. It also
enabled the outdoor play area to be
used throughout the year.
No other requests for funds were
received from the school.| ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Full details of the Charity’s fnancial
position are given in its annual
accounts from which it can be seen
that there was a reduction in the
available funds this year. This was
because the Charity no longer needs
to actively fund-raise following the
transfer of the Nursery to local
authority control which now funds its
entire operation. It is envisaged that
the Charity will now ‘run-down’ its
funds, making grants to the Nursery
over subsequent years.
The Charity is in a sound fnancial
position
and has more than sufcient funds to
allocate to the Nursey in the form of
grants. The Charity no longer has
fnancial commitments which have to
befunded eachyear.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the

funds are no longer required.
Similarly, fund raising activities
previously undertaken by groups and
individuals are no longer held. The
Nursery no longer requires signifcant
sums following its transfer to the local
Council and Reynalds Cross School

resources to cover requests for any
additional funds.|| |---|---|---|---|---| |Investment policy and
