| 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 | During 2024 / 2025, Time Out Club has seen a further increase in usage by families of Manland Primary School. We have been able to increase our capacity to be able to accommodate more children each day at the club. We have increased capacity by negotiating use of a second room in the school and increasing staff numbers. Childcare provision at Primary schools is now an imperative, as the population on our surrounding area is increasingly comprised of two working parents who commute, and who wouldn’t be able to maintain a stable household without easily accessible childcare. Time Out Club is meeting this demand by accommodating as many children as possible in its setting and allowing flexible booking and cancellation terms to help working parents. This financial year Time Out Club paid for the refurbishment of the children’s toilets at Manland Primary School to improve the environment and facilities of our club, as per our Constitution. |

| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |

Cash reserves as at 30th September 2025 were £51,490 The refurbishment of the children’s toilets at Manland Primary School required a one-off payment of £15,000, which resulted in a net loss for the year, covered by cash reserves. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Reserves are set at three months income. We hold these funds to ensure that we can continue to provide childcare at affordable rates. The reserve is set to cover the possibility of having to move the club to alternative premises. A section of the reserve is held for potential staff turnover that could incur recruitment costs and resulting potential increase in salary payments for keyroles. |
