The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The following are the aims of B.A.S.LC.

We provide an Out of School service for children who are registered for school up to the age of thirteen, this operates term time (excluding bank holidays), we also provide a "Basically Brilliant Holiday Club" during the school holidays except the Christmas holiday when the services closes. In addition, we offer a full-time nursery, 48 weeks of the year to a maximum of twenty children per day from age 2 (including eligible two-year-olds) to not yet attending school.

OPERATING TIMES

Out of school service 8am-9am and 3pm-6pm Monday to Friday (term time) Nursery 8am-6pm Basically, Brilliant Holiday Club-8am-6pm.

Children are picked up from all five local primary schools, a snack of toast and fruit is provided for the children and once a month they pick their own snack. The service is fully child led with children directing their own play and planning their own activities. Children also have the opportunity to play outdoors daily either in the garden or at the local parks or on the beach. The children are visitors to a local nursing home.

As our nursery is small, we are able to provide a nurturing, home from home environment. Our central location and access to our minibus also enables us to provide lots of opportunities for outdoor learning within the local community and further afield. ~

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

For the year to 30 June 2025 the total income for the year amounted to £302,015 (2024 - £341,071) and total expenditure amounted to £290,044 (2024 - £306,533). The total funds balance at the year end amounted to £75,158, of which £10,486 related to restricted funding.

Principal funding sources

The main source of funds is from fee income. This income is predominantly from fees paid by parents for our Out of School childcare services and income from the Local Authority for delivery of 1140 hours of free Early Learning and Childcare to children aged 3-5.

We received additional grant funding from Argyll & Bute council.

Expenditure has supported our objectives by providing staff salaries, equipment, healthy snack and travel to and from the club in addition to some terrific educational trips and activities.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities.

The members of the committee must prepare financial statements which give sufficient detail to enable an appreciation of the transactions of the club during the year. The members of the committee are responsible for ensuring that proper accounting records which, on request, must reflect the financial position of the club at that time. This must be done to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the club and take reasonable steps for the prevention and/or detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The Association is a charitable unincorporated association and the purposes and administration arrangements are set out in our constitution until February 2016 when the organisation became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of B.A.S.LC SCIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of B.A.S.IL.C SCIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of B.A.S.I.C SCIO (the Trust) for the year ended 30 June 2025.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.

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.
