## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** 

In reviewing and planning our main activities this year, we referred to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. Our main focus remains providing a safe supervised play provision. This has benefited the whole community by: 

- enabling families to work/train with the knowledge that their children are safe, 

- children and young people attend open access schemes providing a safe, local space to play, 

- families supported with a range of activities 

- young people and adults supported through our volunteering programme 

- providing space for other organisations to deliver family services 

Our 'Out of School' group has re-emerged from COVID restrictions - the children are adapting as are the staff. We are aware of the support staff, children and families are needing, and have responded accordingly with both mental health initiatives, advice and guidance and signposting to other forms of support. Numbers are stable, and we hope it will return to former levels in the near future. 

Our family activity programme- providing a number of events enabling parents and children to 'play' together- continued throughout the year, albeit on a smaller level with 'bags of play', based initially outside our site, then back on site during the final part of the year. Our ' holiday hunger ' programme has seen many families benefit from our free healthy meals.-We served throughout the pandemic each day, and continue servings during  holiday schemes . 

Our community larder, with produce donated by local supermarkets and business is busy each day -supporting families and individuals with fresh produce and food parcels when needed. It is continuing to grow, as are the needs of our local community. 

We continue to develop partnerships with other groups, parent groups, home educators, midwives, parent training schemes and others to be  based in our building. 

Our Alternative Education sessions have developed, and specialised one to one support for some young people is a growing demand. Our capacity has increased with the employment of sessional workers to deliver a range of practical programmes and support. We are finding that we are being asked by more specialist provision to provide sessions. 

We have seen a rise in the number of volunteers during the pandemic to support our programmes. We could not have continued running without their support. Towards the end of the year , many went back to work but have kept contact with us. 

Our bike project has supported many children, young people and adults to access quality refurbished bikes throughout the pandemic. Numbers of bikes refurbished has reached over the 1000 mark, with more arriving weekly. 

We continue with our 'green' policy and healthy lifestyles and our programmes continues to grow. We continue to raise funds locally, and have had support from District and County to support our work.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EVESHAM ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND ASSOCIATION** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Evesham Adventure Playground Association** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Evesham Adventure Playground Association (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
