unincorporated charity. The charity was granted charitable status by the Charity

Commission for England and Wales on the 29 February 1980.

weekly basis during the school academic year (based on Warwickshire, England).
Membership of the management committee is open to all parents and guardians of
children who attend the Charity's activities.

September. Underthe constitution. there must be a minimum of three elected Trustees.

YEAR ENDED 31"DECEMBER2024
The main issue faced is access to quality teachers especially for Mathematics Key Stage
3. Capacity of classrooms is also a limiting factor to how many students we can have
attending weekly.
Provision of seNices during 2024 has improved as we were able to purchase 6 laptops
which the students use weekly, in addition, we have been able to purchase access to a
variety of online learning resources which has been positively received. This is largely
the result of a grant received from the British Dyslexia Association. Income for the year
was also boosted by the first Gift Aid Claim of £5,774.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our main source of income continues to be donations made in respect of the learning
workshops.
As a result of the increased activity. total income for the year was £31,728 compared
against £22,411 last year. In line with the increase in income, costs have also increased
to £28,461 compared against £18,652 lastyear. The increase in costs is mainly as a result
of the increase in teachers costs from £15,768 last year to £20,925 this year.
The Charity made a net surplus for the year of £3,267 compared against a surplus last
year of £3,759.
The Charity has cash balances carried forward of £38,264 (2023- £34,997).
Reserves Policy
The trustees, policy is to maintain reserves at around 12 months of normal running costs
in orderto meet commitments and to cover any unexpected expenditure. Reserves atthe
end of the year were £38,264, which is within the target range.
Plans for Future Periods
The trustees intend to continue and develop the services thatthe Charity provides forthe
benefit of the children in the community-
