| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The Charity Launched in July 2021 and started trading as a childcare provider in September 2021. The area in which the charity trades in is an area of deprivation on the WDI and many parents rely on affordable childcare to be able to return to work or training. The main ethos of the Charity is to provide experiences for the children that they would not necessarily have at home such as dance lessons, a trip to the local Christmas tree farm, Gymnastics and Bush Skills. The After School Club closed for a period of time due to staff leaving. The trustees completed research and surveys to identify if there was a demand for Parents to reopen. All research completed should that parents wanted the club to reopen, which it did in November 2024. However, due to falling numbers at the school, Clwb Hapus closed again in February 2025. The Trustees of Clwb Hapus are currently liaising with the school to identify if Clwb Hapus should continue to remain open. |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |

Due to the current financial challenges, the charity is not as sustainable as it hoped to be at the end of the 4thyear trading. Parents are not able to afford afterschool childcare due to rising costs of living. |
