Orchard Saturday Club Trustees’ Annual Report to the Charity Commission for the period 1st April 2020 – 31st March 2021
Introduction
Orchard Saturday Club is a very small Devon based charity which provides respite care and short breaks for children with profound additional needs. Individual placement for most children is via the social services department of the Local Authority which contracts the Club to provide respite that meets each child’s needs. A few children are funded by their parents.
Aims and values
At Saturday Club every child attending is valued and takes part in all the activities, gaining independence, social skills and confidence whilst having fun.
Governance
The full committee of 5 Trustees, including 2 parents and the Treasurer, normally meets four times a year, receiving reports from the manager, the administrator, and the Trustee who sets and monitors the Club’s annual budget. With the onset of the Covid pandemic all such contact has been handled remotely via email, telephone etc. Committee members also liaise regularly in smaller groups, including with representatives of Devon County Council, the Club’s Independent Accounts Examiner and the Club manager. All staff receive at least the living wage. Staff pay is reviewed annually. Policies are continually under review.
The Club is financially secure. The main source of income is from the placement fee for each child. This was increased from 1[st] April 2020 to ensure that the anticipated increase in costs would be covered. Rent, staff and transport costs have increased very significantly over recent years and it is necessary to keep the fee level under review to take account of this. The Club has received donations from a range of sources. Some of the donations this year have been in response to the specific challenges faced by the Club because of Covid.
Club operation
With the encouragement and considerable support from Devon County Council the Club has been able to stay open throughout the year, albeit at a somewhat reduced level of functionality. This modified service ensured that children whose parents wished them to could continue to benefit from attendance at the Club, albeit in a curtailed form. In order to accommodate children safely the Club undertook fewer external trips. To support the increase in activities undertaken within the Club premises the Club received grants specifically to purchase additional equipment.
Staffing continued to be stable. There is an annual programme of ongoing professional development. Any staff vacancies have been successfully filled and one-to-one staff support is provided for every child. The children continue to enjoy a wide range of activities and experiences, making good gains in personal confidence, autonomy and interpersonal skills. Club policies are regularly reviewed. They can be viewed on the Club’s website, orchardsaturdayclub.co.uk, as can pictures of the Club’s activities.
