Achievements and Performance
| 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. |
Long Furlong Badger Club has continued to provide a valuable out of school childcare service to the parents and carers of pupils at Long Furlong Primary School from previously being an unincorporated entity. Since we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, the club increased its normal capacity per session to approximately 35 spaces thereby allowing more families to benefit from the club and also provide more flexibility for those parents/ carers looking for ad hoc places. The charity has also strived to retain its high staff to child ratio, above what is required by Ofsted, with 5 staff for most shifts. The charity has also invested in improving the range of equipment, entertainment, and activities available to the children both indoor and outdoor, collaborating with the school as appropriate. The club invested in new software in this financial year to reduce admin time for staff but also to allow parents more control and flexibility over the booking of contracts and ad hoc sessions. From March 2020, the club continued to operate when required throughout the Covid 19 lockdown when the school was only open for those children of key workers and vulnerable children. This was a vital service for many parents/carers who were frontline workers throughout the pandemic. The club has also been committed to supporting and retaining its staff during the lockdown period by utilising the Job Retention Scheme grants where available. This was to ensure that we were able to provide the children and families with the experienced and familiar staff ahead of the return to school in next financial year. |

Financial Review
----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s All money the charity holds is unrestricted and is used to
financial position at the end further the aims of the charity. The charity’s expenditure
of the year. supports the objectives of the charity
Despite starting the year at almost full capacity, the club
suffered a loss in income as a result of the general closure
of the school from March to July 2020. In this period, the
club continued to run for a small number children of key
workers or vulnerable children who were able to attend
school in this period. Whilst 80% of the salaries for 5
members of staff were covered by the government job
retention scheme for furloughed staff, the club had to fund
the pay of the remaining members of staff who covered
the shifts required for the children attending, Similar to the
furloughed staff, these staff we paid 80% of their usual
pay for shifts they were not required to work. In addition,
the club incurred increased costs for cleaning equipment
and PPE in line with the club’s Covid 19 risk assessment,
based on the Department for Education published
guidance. These costs against a significantly reduced
income from sessions during these months resulted in a
loss in the financial year.
As a result, the club utilised some of its reserves in this
period.
As with the previous year, staff pay was increased to
align to new minimum wage requirements.
Statement explaining the We hold a reserve policy to ensure we establish a level of
policy for holding reserves reserves that is appropriate for our charity. The reserves
stating why they are held allow us to invest in the staff and equipment for the charity
as the needs arise. They are also reviewed on a regular
basis to consider whether our session pricing and
therefore value to our families is appropriate. In this
particular year, due to the unforeseen circumstances of
the Covid 19 pandemic, our reserves were reviewed as
part of the club’s planning for the potential school closure
during the summer term and in particular in relation to the
retention of staff during this period.
We consider this demonstrates good stewardship and
active financial management in addition to demonstrating
the charity’s resilience and capacity to manage
unforeseen financial circumstances as it was required to
do in this financial year.
Amount of reserves held At the 31 August 2020, our reserves were £10,200 (2019:
£15,970).
