The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** The objectives of the charity are: The charity works for the public benefit having as its objectives the development and education of children and young people in particular by: - 1) Promoting their care and safety; - 2) Promoting their education and promoting parental involvement; - 3) Promoting their health and wellbeing; - 4) Providing services to support them and their families and carers; - 5) Providing services to individuals holding membership of the CIO; 6) To advance and develop the education and training of the staff and management team who provide the care, education and recreational facilities. It is our duty to ensure all that we do works towards achieving these objectives by using the powers the constitution affords us. We are very aware of our importance in the community for providing good quality care for children, to parents who need to go out to work and our status as an employer of 21 members of staff. ## **Public benefit** When reviewing the charity's objective's and aims in planning future activities the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** The charity's activities are to provide a breakfast club, pre school and kids' club for children in the local area. Demand for our services across the three sections was good and steadily increasing. The Pre-school is registered by Ofsted to take 68 children per session. We are pleased to report attendance for the holiday clubs is steadily increasing. ## **Employment** As at 31st March 2025 the number staff employed by the Centre is 21. The National Living Wage levels were met and paid as from the 1st April 2024 and will also do so 1st April 2025. Auto enrolment pensions regulations are being complied with. Staff ratios per child have been legally adhered to. When possible, the Centre Managers have reduced levels of staffing per session when possible to do so, in order to keep wages costs to a minimum. ## **Buildings** There have only been the expected routine maintenance costs incurred. All required inspections have been made (fire, etc.). A thorough analysis of Health and Safety and Risk Assessments has been completed via our human resources consultants. This is an important aspect of the trustees legal obligations to ensure the safety and well-being of all of the children, parents and staff who use our building and as such will continue forever more. During this year, the building was decorated and improvements to the outside ground play area. During 2025/26 it is hoped, subject to financial considerations to upgrade the kitchen. The idea of having a meeting room placed at the front of the building will not materialize due to planning regulation issues. We have 'Possessory title' of the 'car park land' across the road from the Centre land and in 12 years' time (i.e. 2033) should apply for 'Absolute title'. The land can only be used as a car park and cannot be built upon. We lease the building from Lincolnshire County Council on a ten-year lease. The lease has recently been successfully renewed to the 29th February 2032. The process of registering the lease with the Land Registry has been completed. Page 1 **St Thomas' Children's Centre** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** For detailed figures, please refer to the Financial report prepared by our auditors - Wright Vigar. Figures in brackets are for the previous year 2023/2024 for comparison purposes. Cash and Bank income and expenditure. The Children's Centre had excess expenditure over income for the year of £6,702 (£52,753 excess income over expenditure). Our four main streams of income brought in £471,185 (£447,157) and other income £45,045 (£52,285), = total income of £516,230 (£499,442). Wages costs and employer pension contributions for the year were £420,657 (£358,234). This constitutes 81.5% of our costs against our total income. This is within our target range of 80-85% of wages cost against our income. All other costs amounted to £104,116 (£89,295). Total costs for the year £524,773 (£447,529). Detailed financial monitoring has been taking place over the year to ensure the long-term financial viability of the Centre. Happily, this has been achieved. The Fees, Wages and Finance Committee met in January 2025 to set the wage rates to be paid to staff as at 1st April 2025 and to agree the fees charged to parents, also to take effect on the 1st April 2025. The current method of short-termly financial monitoring of the income and expenses of the Centre will continue by the Chairman, Managers and Committee in the coming year. The growth in demand for our services this year : the Breakfast Club, Pre-school and after school Kid's Club has continued. These services have very nearly reached full capacity, meaning there is little room for further growth in numbers of children we can take for the coming year 2025/26. The Holiday Club has, at the moment, spaces available to take more children, although this has already also seen a significant rise in the number of children attending. ## **Reserves policy** The reserves policy of the charity is to maintain unrestricted funds at a sufficient level which enables the charity to be able to plan, organise and operate future activities. Reserves are also held in the event of having to wind down and/or close the Centre, for example redundancy payments and the cost, in a practical sense, of quitting the premises. The reserves at the year-end date are at a level which the trustees consider to be an adequate level. The trustees will continue to monitor the reserves held by the charity. The 'contingency reserve fund' held with St James' Place, has now recovered in value to above our investment of £80,000, having initially been hit by service costs and by national political and international events. It is considered there is likely to be a more stable rise in the value of the fund from now on. The committee will constantly monitor how much money is in the HSBC deposit account and may, after receiving independent financial advice, transfer further funds to the St James Place fund when it is deemed prudent and in the best long-term interests of the Centre. ## **FUTURE PLANS** Initial indications of attendance numbers across the four 'departments' of the Children's Centre activities are good and, subject to our capacity numbers will rise for the coming year 2025/26 The fact we are reaching full capacity in the number of children we can take, will mean we cannot rely on rising numbers to expand the Centre nor to cover the growing costs of running the Centre. There is a limit. All of this has been considered in our budgeting for the year. We have had to slightly increase our fees for the services we provide to our parents and carers in order to ensure the sustainability of the Centre. The biggest impact on costs is the rise in the National Living Wage and the increase in employers national insurance contributions. We budget the increase in wage rates for the year 2025/26 will push our wages and pensions costs up a further £40,000, to £460,000. As a result, the trustees have for the year 2025/26 felt it necessary to increase the fees payable by parents to come into effect on the 1st April 2025. Monthly monitoring of income and expenditure will take place to ensure the long-term financial well-being of the Centre. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed according to its constitution and its registered number is 1169083. It was established on 8 September 2016 to take forward the work of the unincorporated charity which had the charity registered charity number of 1081559. Page 2 **St Thomas' Children's Centre** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** Trustees are recruited from parents and Carers who express an interest in wanting to 'put something back into the community' by volunteering to be on the trustees committee. Persons or organisations from the wider community not directly involved with the Children's centre are also considered for membership. 1. Prospective trustees are interviewed by the Chairman and existing committee. 2. If both parties are willing to proceed, then the induction process is started. ## **Organisational structure** The members of the committee shall meet not less than five times per year. ## **Conclusion** In the day-to-day work of the Centre, providing quality care, education and recreation for all of the children who use the Centre, we can no doubt look forward to another successful year 2024/25. The staff, their dedication and quality of work are the most valuable asset of the Centre. The Centre's success is down to the hard work and dedication of the staff and management for which we are all incredibly grateful. The parents and children who use the Centre can be confident they are using one of the best child-care services in the area. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** ## **Registered Charity number** 1169083 ## **Principal address** Wyberton Low Road Boston Lincolnshire PE21 7RZ ## **Trustees** Mrs A L Smith (resigned 6.5.25) S L Brown Mrs K L Wilkinson Mrs E L Martin E J Larkin Mrs E L Wright (appointed 31.3.25) Mrs S R Proctor (appointed 31.3.25) ## **Independent Examiner** James Sewell BA (Hons) FCA CTA Wright Vigar Limited Chartered Accountants & Business Advisers Northgate House Northgate Sleaford Lincolnshire NG34 7BZ 18/06/2025 Approved by order of the board of trustees on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by: ## Stephen Brown Stephen Brown (Jun 18, 2025 06:51 GMT+1) ........................................................................ S L Brown - Trustee Page 3 **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Thomas' Children's Centre** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of St Thomas' Children's Centre** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Thomas' Children's Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## James Sewell James Sewell (Jun 18, 2025 08:26 GMT+1) James Sewell BA (Hons) FCA CTA The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales Wright Vigar Limited Chartered Accountants & Business Advisers Northgate House Northgate Sleaford Lincolnshire NG34 7BZ Date: .............................................18/06/2025 Page 4 **St Thomas' Children's Centre** ## **Statement of Financial Activities for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** |**2025**
