Administrative Information
Chew Stoke Out Of School Club is situated in the village of Chew Stoke in the Chew Valley. The correspondent address is CSOOSC, Chew Stoke Church School, School Lane, Chew Stoke, BS40 8UY.
During the year the club operated breakfast and after school clubs during term time, in addition to holiday clubs for children aged 4-12 years old.
Aims & Purposes
The objects of the CIO are the development and education of children and young people from Chew Stoke and the surrounding region, in particular by:
-
1) providing childcare to the children of members of the CIO;
-
2) promoting their care and safety;
-
3) promoting their education and promoting parental involvement;
-
4) promoting their health and wellbeing.
Structure, Governance & Management
The trustees are all volunteers and parents/guardians of children who attend or have previously attended the club. The trustees work closely with the management to ensure the club is a safe & enjoyable setting for local children to be provided with wraparound care during term time and during school holidays.
All trustees hold an enhanced DBS in compliance with Ofsted regulations. Trustees receive no financial benefits from the club, for example discounted childcare.
Financial Review
Receipts for the year ended 31st March 2023 were £41,543, a significant fall compared to the previous year of 14.4%. The end of COVID-19 support from HMRC’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and Bath & NE Somerset council’s grants were the main reason for this reduction. Childcare bookings were also down slightly by 0.8% year on year, which may have been a result of reduced holiday club openings.
Total payments were £47,800, with staff salaries the highest contributor to these costs, followed by rent, catering and accountancy/book keeping costs. The club resumed rental payments to the school during this financial period, after two years of support in the form of a rent holiday. Due to these increased costs we had to be more selective about running holiday clubs, particularly during half-terms and Easter. Holiday clubs only operated on days when there was sufficient demand, which lowered bookings for the year, but also helped to reduce staff costs year on year by 6%, despite increases to the National Living Wage.
Cash funds at year end were £27,309, £6,258 lower than the last period end.
Liabilities at year end stood at £1,447, compared to £1,074 at the end of the last period.
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim to maintain a minimum of 4 months of staff salaries in reserve, to act as a buffer in case of unforeseen circumstances. At current staffing levels, this target amounts to approximately £13,000.
Fundraising & Donations
The club aims to be self-sustaining, covering its costs via booking & membership fees. Donations totalling £400 were also received this year.
