IPSWICH COMMUNITY PLAYBUS

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Governing document

The charity is governed by the constitution which was adopted on 16 April 2003.

Aims and objectives

To advance the education of children below compulsory school age, by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for group play in which parents can participate where appropriate. In the interests of social welfare to provide recreational facilities for the inhabitants of Ipswich so that the conditions of life may be improved.

History and Background

The original Ipswich Playbus first went out on the road in the early 1970's. Over the years the Playbus expanded and changed its role, following demand from users and a grant from the National Lottery Charities Board. A new secondhand bus was bought and converted into a Playbus. Advice work, outreach and community services were developed.

Review of the Year

An excellent year back on the road after the Pandemic! Our Coordinator, Play Worker and “Maggie” have enjoyed it all immensely! We have been welcomed back with open arms by all the communities, both young and old!

Funding

Ipswich Borough Council - We were again awarded £5,000 from Ipswich Borough Council Cash Grants 2021-2022. We were also been awarded £15,000 from the Transport Fund at IBC towards parking and the care and maintenance of the Playbus.

BBC Children In Need Grant – Due to Covid, the grant has been extended for a year. The total grant amount is £110,772 over 3 years.

Clarion Housing Association—Griffin Wharf

In October, Hannah visited Maggie and was totally impressed by her. This led onto us being awarded a Micro Grant of £350 from them for books on board.

In June, Tracey visited us whilst we were at a session at Griffin Wharf and stated what brilliant work we were doing there. She is putting us forward for a further grant of £5,000 to fund another year here.

Other Funding during the year has come from:

Tesco Bag For Life £1,000.00 Back To Work Covid Grant £750.00 Holywells Allotments £350.00 Whitehouse Community Primary School Nursery £100.00

East Anglian Mark Benevolent Association £1,000.00

The current Executive Committee believe that there were no volunteers during the year ended 31 March 2022. (2021: None).

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES

Risk review Policies are in place regarding the specific areas of risk including child protection, confidentiality, employment.

Reserves policy

The trustees continue to work hard to secure ongoing funding to ensure the sustainability of the Playbus. We have secured nearly £39K in Grants plus £8.2K in other income during the year. With running costs of £61K p.a., this leaves the Playbus with a loss this year of £13.849. This came from our reserves, which is still meeting the Trustees target, however we are continually seeking sources of funding.

The Trustees also decided to set aside £50K of funds for a replacement bus, as unfortunately Maggie will need to retire at the end of next year as due to her age, parts are becoming hard to obtain.

Investment policy

Monies in excess of day-to-day requirements are held in an interest bearing account, although with current interest rates, although slightly better now, does not produce much revenue. The Trustees however do not wish to consider more speculative investment alternatives in the present economic climate.

Appointment of trustees

The Executive Committee is elected at the AGM and consists of:

Chair person Secretary Treasurer

4 to 9 Elected members And up to 3 co-opted members (not more than one third of members of the Executive Committee may be co-opted members).

Trustees are recruited from interested persons known to the Executive Committee.

Current Trustees are:

Mrs Elizabeth Harsant - Chairperson Robert Whitehead – Treasurer & Secretary Jane O’Shea

Gill Dean Lynne Burr Sandie Catlin Glenis Clayton

Statement of Trustees responsibilities in respect of the accounts

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate systems of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice, ''Accounting and Reporting by Charities'' issued October 2000. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurance that: the charity is operating efficiently and effectively', its assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition; proper records are maintained and financial information used within the charity or for publication is reliable; and the charity complies with relevant laws and regulations.

Approved by the Trustees on – 14 November 2022
