## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**We continue to be the main provider of**<br>**childcare in Penycae.**<br>**We have managed to maintain a regular**<br>**and reliable service.  This has enabled**<br>**children to receive high quality**<br>**childcare, and freed parents to go out to**<br>**work or attend training.**|



## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|**Following the first lockdown, we were**<br>**able to continue to provide a reliable**<br>**service to the local community which**<br>**was also very good value for money.**<br>**The second lockdown resulted in us**<br>**closing again until March 15th 2020.  We**<br>**were fully open by the end of this**<br>**reporting year but the closures and the**<br>**uncertainly around Covid have**<br>**prevented us from exploring the**<br>**possibility of 6pm closing and the**<br>**provision of a holiday club.**|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|**Due to Covid closures and control**<br>**measures around meetings, we were not**<br>**able to organise any fundraising events**<br>**this year.**|
|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|**N/A**|

## **Financial Review** 

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the<br>end of the period|Para 1.21|**Covid closures hit us hard.  Even though we**<br>**were able to furlough staff we had no income to**<br>**cover other expenses.  The closure during the**<br>**summer term hit us particularly hard as the**<br>**summer term, with its increased income due to**<br>**Early Entitlement and 30 hour childcare would**<br>**normally generate a profit to see us through the**<br>**autumn.  However, we were able to obtain a**<br>**grant from the Moondance trust and this**<br>**covered our lost income.  The UK Government’s**<br>**job retention scheme also generated significant**<br>**income.  The Early Entitlement scheme**<br>**increased its hourly payments to put it in line**<br>**with the 30 hour childcare.  This was an increase**<br>**of £1 per hour per child.  There was some**<br>**retrospective payment here and this too**<br>**generated extra income.  We also saw a general**<br>**increase in numbers in the autumn term 2020.**<br>**These 4 factors meant that at the end of the**<br>**financial year we were in a very healthy position.**<br>**Penycae Childcare now looks financially sound**<br>**with threats to its continued survival no longer**<br>**in evidence.**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding<br>reserves stating why<br>they are held|Para 1.22|**If we make an operating profit in any year,**<br>**money will be held for the following purposes:**<br>•<br>**A “cushion” against low income in the**<br>**autumn**<br>•<br>**Replacing equipment (immediately or**<br>**saving up for large expenditure)**<br>•<br>**Improving the terms and conditions of**<br>**staff**<br>•<br>**Freezing fees**|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**None**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|**We simply do not have the money.**|
|Details of fund materially<br>in deficit|Para 1.24|**None**|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a<br>going concern|Para 1.23|**Due to additional income highlighted above,**<br>**Penycae Childcare is now in a strong position**<br>**financially and can be considered a going**<br>**concern.**|
