These accounts require independent examination, which can be completed by a competent person. We are grateful that Ali Tugwell kindly volunteered to be our independent examiner this year and has signed off the accounts. As the cost of living crisis continues, we kept our fees low in an effort to support our families. Despite the challenges of another biB increase in minimum wage and a steep increase in running costs, we managed to make a small profit. This is due to an extremely busy year which Is reflected in the increase in our income from fees. Our main income stream is government funding for children's sessions and fees paid by parents. Our main expenditure item is the costs associated with employing staff. You will see below that although our income from fees increased by 24% year on year, we managed to keep the increase in employment costs to 19%. The main items of extraordinary expenditure this year were the increased costs of electricity as our fixed deal ended £28001, additional advertlsing for the extended hours1£2301, the cost of having all staff DBS checked for the new CIO, and additional refuse cost5 for collections from Crappers to take to the tip1£4401. Looking ahead towards the coming year, there are further economic challenges ahead with the increase in minimum wage and national insurance payments, as well as the ever increasing costs of utilities, and the losses we will make on the new breakfast and after-school clubs as they become established. There is some good news in that we are receiving regular enquiries for spates and have been fully booked in the Jelly Beans room in the morning sessions since the beginning of the school year. The funding rates are 80ing to increase in April 2025 by an average of 4%. However, the minimum wage is increasing by 6.7% at the same time, which will wipe out much of the benefit of the increase in funding rates. We will receive a higher amount of National InsLtrance Allowance, which Should offset the increase in employers National Insurance payments. We face a further challenge in the new guidance brought out by the government which makes making any charges for parents accessing funded hour5 illegal. We will have to discus5 a way forward without charging for snacks or consumables, while remaining a viable business. Our financial position remains stable in that we have over £87,471 in our accounts, of which £42,111 which is ringfenced to cover statutory redundancy payments to staff, leaving £45,360 of free reserves to fall back on. We are also hoping to continue our fundraising successes over the past year with the Chocolate tombola at the Christmas Lights and a Summer fete. Allsorts ha5 made a profit of £4203 this year.
