Roundabout After School Club
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit
We provide wraparound care for primary aged school children in a safe and welcoming environment where they can learn through organised activities and self-motivated play. We also help parents who require before and after school care.
Parents and carers can continue in employment opportunities which improve their conditions of life being sure that their children are cared for. Children have access to a wide range of activities, they improve social skills, learn independence and confidence. We provide care for children from different backgrounds to benefit the community.
Summary of the main achievements during the period
During the time covered by this report, club activities were seriously hampered by controls put in place to control Covid. The club was only able to function when the school was re-opened and had to shut twice with short notice.
The functioning of the club was overseen by the Club Management and Committee on a week to week basis. Strenuous efforts were made to control the budget as well as the logistics of receiving children into bubbles whilst maintaining government guidelines.
The club greatly appreciates the efforts and donations made by parents and the school during the difficult last few years and the acceptance by parents of the Levy imposed. Without this help it is unlikely that the club could have continued to operate with the additional costs of "bubble-ing", cleaning and administration.
A further sincere thanks go to the staff and management at the club who had to repeatedly changed the way they worked to match guidelines in place. Their positive attitude supported the Committee making difficult decisions during this period and kept children in the club safe, well and happy.
Financial review
During 2020 and up to April 2021, the club was depleting its financial reserves due to the lockdowns, reduced attendance and Covid measures that were implemented. This was to ensure staff were paid. The club introduced a Covid Levy to ensure its financial future and safety of its users and staff. Before the pandemic the account was at around £85K (of which around £60K is the reserve), this dropped to just £30K in March 2021. We are in the process of building up the account to the pre-pandemic level.
Currently the club is in a progress of building back up the reserves that were significantly depleted during 2020 & 2021. A Covid Levy is in place on the fees for each session a child attends. This has built the reserves back to over £40K from a low position of £20K. The Levy is expected to stay in place until the end of the summer term 2022 by which point normal club operation is anticipated. However, this will also be reviewed in the interim.
