Objectives and Activities
To promote, maintain, improve and enhance the care and education of children by providing the necessary facilities for the daily care and recreation of children aged 3-14 during out of school hours and school holidays.
To advance the education and training of persons in the provision of such care and recreational facilities.
Achievements and Performance
The charity continued to provide daily care and recreation to children aged 3-14. The number of children requiring the out of school hours and holiday care provision decreased during the year. The charity now rents a purpose built building offering a larger space to the children which has seen numbers increase post year end.
Financial Review
Reserves
We hold cash at bank and in hand of £50,041 (2022: £45,341) all of which is unrestricted funds. These funds are held in order the meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur, for example, fall in numbers of children, long-term staff sickness, forced closure and any large expenditure. We aim to hold at least £10,000 and no more than £50,000 in resources at the end of the financial year.
Designated Funds
No funds are designated beyond the detail specified in "Reserves" above.
Review of Financial Position
Fee income from the out of school hours and school holiday care decreased in the year due to the number of children using the service. Post year end both numbers and fee income have increased. A number of grants have also been received post year end to purchase equipment and furnish the new building.
Going Concern
After consideration of all factors, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Independent Examiner’s Report Year Ended 31 March 2023
We report to the trustees on our examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 4 to 5.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you, the trustees, concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
We have completed our examination. We confirm that no material matters have come to our attention in connection with the examination:-
-
(1) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
