Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit

Free play opportunities for their children giving them chance to socialise, make friends, learn new skills, improve confidence and self-esteem;
Low cost opportunities to learn and practice new skills, socialise, gain confidence, volunteer opportunities and meet new people.

Public benefit statement

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.

Summary of the main achievements during the period

We provided play opportunities to over 3,000 children during a very difficult time, we adapted our offer to children and families providing craft bags and boxes in their own homes and more outdoor play as indoor sessions were restricted. We supported families in need who were isolating and vulnerable delivering over 1,600 bags to homes, we also provided 35 needy families with food during the summer holidays and activities for the children. We supported a social eating group with activity backpacks for the families and provided Lego and toys for some refugee families.

Financial review

We are always in a difficult position financially in the current climate but we try to maintain a regular income from the hall hire to make us as financially stable as possible and constantly review our services to see where we can cut any extra costs. We are pleased to report we are more financially stable than in previous years.

The charity’s policy on reserves

Our reserves policy is to maintain sufficient funds to pay any costs to close down the Charity.
