## **COLD NORTON PRE-SCHOOL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st AUGUST 2021** 

The Trustees of the Charity, who are the committee in office at this year-end, present their annual report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2021 

The Financial Statements attached show the Income and Expenditure for the year ended 31st August 2021 and the value of Assets and Liabilities at that date. 

## **INTRODUCTION** 

The Cold Norton Pre-School is an incorporated charity governed by the CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013 Incorporated since 13 February 2020. 

## **POLICY** 

The trustees, who administer the charity, meet at least six times per year, to discuss policies and ways of implementing the purposes of the constitution, and to ensure that the requirements of the Charity Commission and HM Revenue & Customs are being met. 

## **REVIEW OF THE CHARITY** 

Income will be derived from the government scheme for funding for pre-school education for 3 and 4 year old children and for some 2 year old children, together with private fee income for children who do not qualify.  For 2021 this amounted to £0 due to the charity still operating under the previous constitution awaiting Ofsted registration 

Fund raising events and donations which are needed to cover equipment and the shortfall in voucher income, amounted to £0. 

Cash funds at the year-end amounted to £0 

## **MAIN ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS** 

The aims of the charity are to advance the education of children below compulsory school age. The main activity will be the provision of a pre-school encouraging learning through play. Fundraising will be achieved mainly from the half-term parties, psychic night, commission from sales and sponsored events.

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees will examine the major risks that the charity faces each year when preparing and updating their plans for the future. The Charity has developed systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the charity in  the future. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

It will be the trustees' policy to maintain the capital value in real terms of the dissolution of the charity, being approximately £16,100, and apply only income or excess reserves towards direct charitable expenditure in the year. It is intended that this policy should ensure that sufficient funds are retained to continue the charity's work in future years. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
