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.
The club normally has 35 spaces available per session,
the majority of which are taken up by regular contracts.
Following the successful recruitment of a new club
manager and deputy manager, the club was able to
increase spaces in the afternoon sessions to 40 in the
final quarter of the year which alleviated the waiting lists.
Demand for the club is still high and many parents join the
waiting list over a year in advance. Parents/carers are
also able to book ad hoc sessions when required.
The charity has retained its high staff to child ratio, above
what is required by Ofsted, with up to 6 staff for the
busiest shifts.
The charity continues to provide a vital service for many
families in the school community and was able to assist
some of the school’s more vulnerable pupils during the
year through short-term part funded places at the club.| |---|---|---| |**Financial Review**|| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the year.|All money the charity holds is unrestricted and is used to
further the aims of the charity. The charity’s expenditure
supports the objectives of the charity.
With the increase in numbers, temporary reduced staff
costs, the club had a stronger year financially and was
predicted to make a significant surplus by the third
quarter. As such, the Trustees and Management
Committee agreed to invest surplus funds in the following
ways whilst retaining adequate reserves:
•
Staff pay increases above minimum wage
•
Decrease in session fee prices to pre-covid levels
for parents
•
Increase payment of rent to school
•
Investment in improvements to outdoor play areas
through a fixed contribution to school

All the above should have resulted in a break-even
position but at the year-end there was a small deficit
which was the result of some outstanding debts collected
in the next financial year.| Page 2 ## LONG FURLONG BADGER CLUB |FOR|TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
