CARNWADRIC AFTER SCHOOL CARE
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 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 main objectives of the charity are to provide:-
A safe and stimulating environment where school age children can be cared for enabling parents to continue/return to work, education or training, recognising that priority must go to single parents.
Childcare facilities for parents during illness or stress.
A warm homely atmosphere with a programme of activities in which education through play can be offered to children.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Welcome to the annual report for Carnwadric After School Service.
Committee
There is no change to the committee members: Aileen Little as Chairperson, Charlene Gregory as Treasurer and Ashley Hamilton as Secretary. The priority of continuing as committee members was to ensure the continuous support for the service manager, staff and service users.
Account
Accounts have remained steady. We have managed to increase the funds in the cash management account which is due to Claire, the Manager, having arranged payment plans with some of the parents so we have gathered in more owed fees.
As previous years our highest expense is our trips during summer which have been at a higher cost for coaches and entries to the trip destinations. The trips really please the parents and kids so this will continue. We have upgraded toys and costs for snacks have increased this year with food prices rising.
We continued with a Christmas bonus to staff through payroll on November payday as we feel this has helped to boost staff morale.
HR Company
We continue to use Peninsula as a supportive HR Company. The contract we are tied into lasts 3 years so we can look at perhaps changing going into 2025.
Service Manager
During 2025 the Service Manager continues to provide competent and professional delivery of care which benefits the service. Working with the committee, the aim is to provide a safe and fun environment for the children, a fair staff working environment and a service parents are happy to pay for. The Service Manager continues to make noticeable changes to the service.
Care Inspectorate Visit
From the last care inspectorate visit in March 2025 the overall score was increased from Good to Very Good with no recommendations or requirements needed.
AGM Meeting
As part of the charity organisation, there needs to be an AGM for parents and carers. An AGM was held in 2024/25 which kept family and carers informed of the continuing progress of the service and all questions from parents/carers answered by staff. Also good feedback received from the parents regarding out summer organised trips.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CARNWADRIC AFTER SCHOOL CARE
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages four to eleven.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the trustees believe to be appropriate for the reasons set out in the Trustees' Report.
Judgements
The company considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying its significant accounting policies that would have the most significant effect on amounts that are recognised in the financial statements. The Trustees consider there are no such significant judgements.
Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable.
Debt instruments like other accounts receivable and payable are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and trade creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for evidence of impairment and if found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Other revenue streams are recognised when there is an understanding of the terms to both parties and the charity has invoiced the appropriate entity. In the event that a service is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities are incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities, events and non-charitable trading.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Where possible expenditure is allocated directly to an activity. Items of expenditure which contribute to more than one activity are apportioned on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Support costs which are not attributable to a single activity but rather provide the organisational infrastructure that enables output producing activities to take place are allocated on the same basis as expenditure incurred directly in undertaking an activity.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
- Computer equipment - 20% straight line
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like plant and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell, is estimated and compared with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are recognised at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
