|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to the<br>circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|During 2024 / 2025, Time Out Club has seen a further<br>increase in usage by families of Manland Primary School. We<br>have been able to increase our capacity to be able to<br>accommodate more children each day at the club. We have<br>increased capacity by negotiating use of a second room in<br>the school and increasing staff numbers.<br>Childcare provision at Primary schools is now an imperative,<br>as the population on our surrounding area is increasingly<br>comprised of two working parents who commute, and who<br>wouldn’t be able to maintain a stable household without<br>easily accessible childcare. Time Out Club is meeting this<br>demand by accommodating as many children as possible in<br>its setting and allowing flexible booking and cancellation<br>terms to help working parents.<br>This financial year Time Out Club paid for the refurbishment<br>of the children’s toilets at Manland Primary School to<br>improve the environment and facilities of our club, as per<br>our Constitution.|

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the period from 1/10/2023 to 30/09/2024. 

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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
