Summary of the main achievements during the period

What did you actually do? (You could add some statistics if you like, and give more detail of your activities):

continue to hrun the provision which has had to move from its loation within the childrfens into part of the school busiling. This is about reducing costs as well as ensuring that we comply with OFSTED requirements.

We have successfully maintained a high quality provision for the children. We hjave a steady number of children using the provision.

Financial review

Please comment on your financial position at the end of the reporting period (You might for example, refer to the surplus or deficit you’ve made, or the movement in the fund balances. Are you happy? – the choice is yours. )

Despite ongoing difficulties in terms of finance we have been able to provide a club at both breakfast and after school. This year we are revising our fees and looking at all aspects of the club inbcluding staffing to reduce costs and enable us to continue to provide the service.

What is your policy on reserves? (Your policy should include: why you need reserves, the target level, your current position, your plans to increase or use your reserves and how often you review this policy. If you do not need reserves you should explain the reason.)

we have a small amount of reserve but we are working hsard to ensure that we can have enough to fully support the provision for 6 months. However we are a club that receies funding via fees and so this is the area we need to ensure that we collect on time.

What financial risks do you face?

we have to ensure that parents pay ontime and have reviewed this so parents pay in advance.

If any of your funds are in deficit, what are you planning to do about it? we have an outstanding loan which we are paying.

Dunkirk Fun Club

Summary of the main achievements during the period

We continue to run the provision which has had to move from its location to within the children’s part of the school building. This is about reducing costs as well as ensuring that we comply with OFSTED requirements.

We have successfully maintained a high quality provision for the children and we have a steady number of children using the provision.

Financial review

Despite ongoing difficulties in terms of finance we have been able to provide a club at both breakfast and after school. This year we are revising our fees and looking at all aspects of the club including staffing to reduce costs and enable us to continue to provide the service. We do have an outstanding loan to the school which we have agreed to repay at £500 per month.

Financial risk

There is a risk that if we don’t manage our cash flow, then we may not have sufficient cash at any point in time to cover the expenditure, therefore we need to ensure that parents pay on time and have anticipated this so parents pay in advance.

The charity’s policy on reserves

We have a small amount of reserves but we are working hard to ensure that we can have enough to fully support the provision for 6 months. However we are a club that recieves funding via fees and so this is the area we need to ensure that we collect on time.
