| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated our temporary closure during Spring 2020. This action consequently reduced our expected income for the financial year. We made use ofthe furlough scheme using the JRS in order to pay staff wages. The trustees regularly reviewed our financial |
||
| situation, and we were fortunate in being able to make up the shorffall in |
|||
| staff wages during this time. Additional funding was also secured to |
|||
| support the bank balance via grants and donations from the community. |
|||
| Limited socially distanced meetings were held outdoors or via the zoom |
|||
| facilities. | |||
| Decisions were made to relocate the 'Ducklings' group onto the same site |
|||
| as the older age children in our 'Ducks' section. We will be self-contained |
|||
| at the Cedar Rooms on the campus of All Saints' School, Gresford. This |
|||
| venture has the full support ofthe Headteacher and is aimed at allowing |
|||
| the familiarity and natural progression ofthe children from playgroup into |
|||
| school life. This move also offers us greater flexibility ofour staff at | |||
| playgroup. | |||
| We were delighted to learn that the North Wales Manager and the |
|||
| Governance Development Officer for the Early Years Wales had |
|||
| shortlisted the Chairperson, Secretary, and the Treasurer of our |
|||
| playgroup for an award. By means ofa virtual ceremony in December |
|||
| 2020 these persons received the "Early Years Special Recognition | |||
| Award" for the good practice and quality ofwork they have shown since | |||
| being in the office. |
|||
| We are pleased to conclude that despite the difficulties thrust on |
|||
| everyone this year, we closed the year in a positive financial position. |
