E-sign ID". a762faaO-0103-43c1-a5f2-5ea6a635b566 CLUBS Our clubs are aimed at special interests, meaning that children can attend after school clubs as mainstream children do. providing them the equality of opportunity they deserve. Two of which are highlighted below: g0c has been re-established and is currently used by up to15 children each week. Although there is lots of Lego fun, the children are also able to use the gardens and sensory room giving them a variety of opportunity. After school clubs Home E has grown so much th8t we have had to increase it to two sessions per week. YouiiLILLb is a new project which has grown from strength to strength. It is our f irst drop and go session for children age11- 18. We have already had to increase numbers from10-14 as it is so popular. Clubs for children out of school minglluts attracts different families every month and is a great way for children to game in a social environment 109 Term time sessions were available Group is for children with or suspected to have a disability, we also welcome their siblings Create a group for over11 s where children are dropped off and they can have their own space.

E-sign ID." 8762fa8O-0103-43c1-aSf2-5ea6a635b568 The year The year has continued to see all our staple activities with a couple of additions. We have increased numbers of attendees to a maximum of 30 during school holiday activities as we have had more staff to cover the sessions meaning we can support more children than ever before. We continue to work closely with local SEN colleges and provide their students Work Experience in a variety of roles including admin, gardening, play work and paintingldecor8ting. We treat all our volunteers and work experience students with the same respect and conditions as staff so interview and reference them to ensure the standard is as required. The two play staff who joined us last year were still with us and return in whichever school holidays they can manage around their university commitments. The children enjoy the familiarity of having regular staff members so this is something that we have learned we will continue in the future. We still recruit volunteers from 6th form colleges and schools which is great for the children to have younger people there to support them FUTURE PLANS The plans for moving premises have been revisited and it has been decided that the time isn't right for a big move. that is would be too costly and disruptive. This has been put on hold until another plan can be formulated that would be more cost effective and relevant. There are plans for more recruitment to be undertaken in the next few months. A new Business Improvement Manager will be recruited to take the role of operations and also to move us into the digital age and to bring fresh ideas.This will allow the current Operational Director to focus on what she does best. funding. Summer holidays are always our biggest undertaking. It is looked forward to by children, parents and staff. It's a mammoth planning and implementing exercise but is so worth the eff ort. Disappointingly this year funding from the local council was cut by 43% so we had to dig deep to deliver more home grown activities with less trips and visiting entertainment than we usually provide. Summer 2024 saw a host of new families attend along side our regulars creating new friendships and community. The theme for this Christmas was The Grinch where the colour green was very evident in all areas of the centre. Outside was the marquee area that represented "Whoville" where the children could through snowballs and enjoy the outdoor fun. We provided magical Santa experience for 84 children over two full days. This remains one of our most loved activities. Square Peg Activities Ltd info@squarepegactivitites.org Charity no: 1185040
