Governance and management

The charity is operated under the rules of its CIO – Foundation constitution adopted 26 August 2022.

We have not had any new trustees during the reporting period, however we still continue to publicise that new trustees are welcome. This is ususally via the club newsletter.

Objectives and activities

To provide facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children during out of school hours and school holidays. To advance the education and training of persons in the provision of such care, education and recreational facilities.

Public benefit statement

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit

We provide a breakfast club which is before the start of the school day and we provide an after school provision from 3/3:30pm until 6pm.

It enables parents of children to maintain their employment, this in turn reduces poverty, improves wellbeing and helps to advance the education of the children that attend the club.

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.
