We offer PS Wellspring FCCA specialist Early Intervention support and are dedicated to 42, St Andrews Avenue giving children and their families extra help and support Weymouth DT3 5JS through the early years learning and development journey.

Public Interest

The Group is based in Yeovil at the Balidon Centre, on the Summerlands Hospital site. We are grateful to the Somerset Partnership for the provision of our facilities at a nominal cost and are very fortunate to have a safe and secure building.

How the Group delivers its principal charitable aim is demonstrated in the rest of this report. The public benefit arising from our work is implicit in the services delivered and the education and support provided for children with additional needs to help them reach their potential, to the benefit of society as a whole as well as the children and their families. We provide all of our pre-school and transport services at a subsidised cost and the Rainbows Time Together Group, free of charge.

The Trustees annually review the risks the Charity faces and takes appropriate ameliorative action where necessary.

Transport

We continued to provide subsidised transport for parents wishing to use our mini bus service. During 2022/23 we have provided transport for 5 children, who without transport would not have been able to access YOG.

The age limits at which children were able to access some services was changed and this put a limit on what the Page 6 children were traditionally entitled to, and increased barriers placed on families who didn’t reach a particular

Jane

YOG will continue to fight to support for those children who have the highest level of need, however current statistics Jane Lock nationally, paint a Chair of Trustees gloomy picture:

• One in 5 parents with a SEND Child report being turned away from a mainstream setting

• 80% of settings feel that the new ratio changes will make it harder for them to support children with SEND

• One year ago 27% of providers said they had no more spaces for children with SEND, with this going up to 57% once the new entitlements come out

• 79% of settings have seen a significant rise in the number of children with SEND. 95% overall have seen a rise in the number of children with SEND

March 2023)

The cost of living and inflationary rises in Early Years remains a major issue for the sustainability of the Early Year’s sector. The minimum wage has increased by 45% since 2016, whilst the Early Years 15 hours’ entitlement for 4-5 year olds has only increased by 12%.

Our main sources of funding during 2023 were from Somerset Council in the form of the 15 hours’ entitlement and High Needs funding which totalled £88,986; Session and transport fees of £3,557, training support grants £3,000 and the provision of support services to the Somerset SEND team, £1,549. Expenses totalled £132,183 of which £115,043 represented our wage costs.

1 Accounting policies

General information and basis of accounting

• Yeovil Opportunity Group is an unincorporated registered charity governed by a revised constitution dated 30 November 2009. Details of the Trustees and contact details are shown on page 1.

• The principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

• The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. They have been prepared in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP)' applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective from 1 January 2015 - Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

• The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

• The Trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash flow statement

The charity has taken advantage of exemptions available to it and therefore has not prepared a cash flow report.

Income recognition

• All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

• Donations and gifts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

• Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis and is shown gross of income tax recovered and recoverable. Other income is accounted for on the basis of amounts receivable for the year.

• In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), unpaid general volunteer time is not recognised in the financial statements.

Expenditure

• All expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

• [All expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis, inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.]

Raising funds - These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities - Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost plus any incidental expenses of acquisition. Where fixed assets are donated, they are stated at their estimated market value on acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on fixed assets based on the estimated useful life of the asset and their anticipated residual value, as follows:

Asset	Depreciation
Leasehold property improvements	10 years straight line
Mini bus	25% reducing balance
Office equipment	25% reducing balance
Furniture, equipment & toys	15% reducing balance
