Holmbridge Pre-School and Out of School Club CIO Trustees’ Report
Review of Progress and Achievements
Holmbridge Pre-School was set up in 1970 in the premises of Holme Silver Band and since then it has provided an important and valuable service in village community. In April 2014 the Out of School Club was created to provide wrap around care for primary aged children from the local schools.
The charitable status of the pre-school was changed to a Charitable Incorporated Organistaion (CIO) and the transfer of undertakings from the unincorporated charity Holmbridge Pre-School (1036859) took place in January 24.
The Pre-School and Out of School Club is a registered charity which offers a caring, safe learning environment where children learn through play and develop many skills.
The setting is managed by a committee of parents and members of the community who volunteer their time to support it. The committee is responsible for reviewing policy and practice, fundraising and allocation of funds.
Our accounts for the year ended 31 July 25 show a net deficit of £14,090. This compares to net positive receipts of £7,682 for the previous trading period of 7 months from 1 January 24 to 31 December 24. This is largely due to a fall in the number of children attending the setting along with increased staff costs.
Reserves
We are mindful to retain a proportion of the reserves to protect the charity against a possible net shortfall due to low attendance figures and potential changes in funding from the local education authority.
Sufficient reserves must also be maintained such that in the unlikely event of closure costs including staff redundancies can be met.
Any surplus is available to be spent on the setting’s needs as identified and agreed by the staff and committee. A proportion of the reserves will be used to make repairs and improvements to the setting.
