OBJECTIVES AND ACTIvrrIES
Objectives and aim5
The objectives of the charity are to promote 'the relief of children SLJffering from any di5èbilify or learning
difficulty las defined by the Education Aci 19811 and where appropriate the relief of financial hardship of
the parent or legal guardian (such expression5 shall rnean or include the parentls) or the legal

The strate9ie5 employed to achieve the charity's objertives are to=
11 provide, cause to be provided or assist in providing facilities for the treatment, education, training and
welfare of the beneficiaries,.
21 rnake grants or donation5 to or for the benefit of the beneficiaries, their parent{sl or legal guardian{sl
who are in needy circumstsnTrs,'
31 provide equipment and apparatus for the beneficiaries.
The trustees have not adopted any fresh policy documents during the year.
The charity's two major areas of activity are its Playgroup and Playscheme, when deciding upon the
attlvities that will be carried out the trustees have taken full regard of the Charity Commi55ion's guidan
on public benefit.
Significant activities
Playgroup
Playgroup was running as usual after the uncertain time5 of Ctsvid, though it took time for parents to
regain their confidence to send their children back. The Local Authority continued fundlng during this
time enabling us to meet our overheads. FIG was run for around 55 children per term between the ages
of 2 and 4 years.
Some children who atiend have additional need5 or disabilities. Place5 are funded either by 2, 3 and 4
Year old EEE funding, some private fees paid by parents and some children with additional needs are
supported through additional Local Authority funding.
Playscheme
FIG was able to recommence its Playschemes and these ran during the Summer, October and February
holldays. Fundlng was also confirmed for Easter and May.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
55 children per term attended FIG Playgroup when we were able to open. Playgroup is always well
attended and parent feedback 15 always positive. We work closely with parents I carers to ensure all
children, needs are met adequately. Children attending FIG Playgroup Include both malnstream children
and those with special needs.
152 children are now on our books for FIG Playschemes. Numbers we are able to provide for during each
holiday depend on the amount of funding Havering give us.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
FINANCIAL REvxew
Principal funding sources
The financial results for the year are set out in the èttached accoLJnts. They Show a deficit of £20,679 for
the year, compared with the deficit of £17,496 for the year ended 5 April 2021. The total reserves at 5
April 2022 were £8,547 compared with £29,226 at 5 April 2021. Total expenditure during the year was
£325,912 compared with total expenditure of £221,337 during the year ended 5 April 2021. The increase
in income and expenditure was mainly due to the playschemes recommencing.
Reserves poli
The Trustees operate o poliry on reserves and consider that it is still appropriate. Family InfOrMat￿On
Group are to maintain reserves equal to cover 3 months running costs, which mèy be necessary if the
charity has a shortf311 in funding. This policy amounts to the charity tnaintaining approximately £45,000
of free ￿SerVes. Current reserves hève fallen to £8,547 and FIG is concerned about this. However, with
playschernes currently planned for the whole of the next financial year, we should recoup Some of the
deficit. In addition to this, we will be seeking further additional core funding from extemal funder5.
Should the charity's funding St￿aM cease, the constitution in place states that 'lf, upon the winding up or
di5501ution of the F.I.G. there remain5, aftei the settling of all its debt and liabilities, any property
whatsoever, thi5 shall not be paid to or distributed among the members of the F.l.G. but shall be given or
transferred to a charitable organisation with similar objerts,.
FUTURE PLANS
Playgroup
FIG continues to provide the 30 hours free Government funded childcare to families and the uptake on
this by parents has been very positive to date and future demand is apparent. We will be looking for
further funding opportunlties to enable us to continue with providing additional projects at FIG,
Playscheme
FIG'S Playschemes continue to be in high demand From parents and we anticipate that we wlll be required
to continue to provide these for as many school holldays as possible.
The fundamental plan is to maintain both the Playgroup and Playscheme provisions for the foreseeable
future and build upon their succes5. FIG will seek additional funding in order to do this and contlnue to
implement our cost savin9 Strategies to ensure that expenditure remains low whilst
maintaining the high standards of care thèt we provide.
