Chairs Report – Jacqui Lewis
The AGM is a time when we look back at the last year which is until 31 August 2023.
The registration of the charity 1200985 was completed on the 11 November 2022.
The set up of the charity was linked with application to Ofsted to register with them. The application to Ofsted was completed and submitted 13 January 2023.
Charity 1200985 was set up to take over from 1042353 as it was an unincorporated charity operating under Ofsted registration EY371753.
Until Ofsted approve a new registration, Acorn Playgroup must continue to operate.
A transfer of £5000, did take place from Charity 1042353 to 1200985.
We have been in regular contact with Ofsted awaiting the registration and had hoped this would be resolved prior to this AGM.
A meeting with Ofsted is due to take place in the coming weeks, but this will be into the next financial year.
Issues with the Ofsted registration have meant that the Charity 1200985 has been unable to fully operate.
Issue with Ofsted that have been resolved:
Philip Bolland – DBS registration with the updater service Ofsted requiring trustees to be referred to as CIO member rather than Trustees.
The issue with the address, links to Shefford Lower School and the Children’s Centre have yet to be resolved.
There have been numerous, email and telephone calls but we are hopefully that the awaited meeting with resolve Ofsted’s understanding and allow the registration to be completed.
Looking forward to the year to come
The sole aim is to finalise the registration with Ofsted and full transfer all assets and activities to Charity 1200985
