Appointment of Trustees
The Constitution states the Board may at any time appoint any person to be a charity
trustee - by way of a resolution passed by majority vote at a board meeting.
Management
The structure of the organisation consists of the trustees- who hold regular
meetings, and generally control the activities of the organisation and day-to-day
running.
Objectives and Activities
Our role includes acting as an advisory and support network for out-of-school care
providers, offering guidance and practical assistance to help groups overcome
challenges. resolve issues, and maintain good practice standards. We aim to
encourage continuous improvement. good governance, and effective management
across all member organisations.
In order to achieve these objectives, the charity is committed to keeping members
infomied of changes in government policy. local authority requirements, and relevant
legislation affecting childcare and community services. We provide access to
infomiation, training opportunities, workshops. and professional development to
ensure members remain compliant with current standards and best practice
guidance.
The charity also seeks to encourage partnership working, the sharing of knowledge
and resources, and the promotion of equality, diversity, and inclusion within all out-
of-school care settings. Through these activities. we aim to strengthen community-
based childcare provision and contribute positively to the wellbeing and development
of children and families.
Charitable purposes
During the year, the organisation continued to work towards its charitable purposes
by supporting community-based out-of-school care services and encouraging
participation within the local community.
The organisation advanced community development through ongoing engagement
with member groups, providing advice, support meetings, and opportunities for
collaboration. Although activity levels were reduced during the year due to illness
within the Board, the organisation continued to maintain links with services and
provide assistan￿ where required.

In support of the advancement of education and skills development, the organisation
accessed a number of training opportunities during the year. These opportunities
helped members and representatives remain infomied about changes in legislation,
good practice, and developments within the childcare and community sector. The
organisation also continued to encourage participation, volunteering. and
involvement from members in order to strengthen community-led services and
improve opportunities for future development.
The organisation further promoted its charitable purposes by contir)uing to explore
future funding opportunities and considering ways to expand membership and
participation during the coming year. These activities aim to support the long-tem
sustainability and development of community services and encourage greater
involvement within the sector.
Chairman's Report
l am pleased to present this report on beha￿ of the charity and reflect on the work
carried out during the year in supporting out-of-school care groups within our
community.
The charity's principal objective continues to be the provision of support, guidance.
and development opportunities for out-of-school care providers. We aim to help
groups achieve and maintain high standards of care while acting as an advisory
body to assist with any issues or challenges that tnay arise.
During the year, we managed to assist and support one main service through regular
discussions and support meetings. Although this was a quieter year for the
organisation. we remained committed to providing advice and maintaining contact
with members where possible.
The year presented particular challenges due to illness within the Board, which
impacted the level of activity and development work that could be undertaken.
Despite these difficulties, the charity continued to operate and provide support where
required.
We were also able to access some training opportunities during the year, helping
members and representatives remain informed of relevant developments, legislation,
and good practice within the childcare sector.
The Board would like to thank everyone who has continued to support the charity
throughout the year, including members, volunteers, and parlner organisations. Your
patience, understanding, and ongoing commitment have been greatly appreciated
during a challenging period.

Plans for the year ahead
Looking ahead, the charity will continue to focus on building membership and
encouraging greater participation from out-of-school care groups within the
community. We hope to strengthen engagement. provide increased opportunities for
support and collaboration, and continue promoting high standards within the sector.
The Board is also currently considering future funding options to help support and
sustain the charity's activities and development in the coming year.

Respectivo responsibllltles 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) 2005
Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees
consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10{1) (d) 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.
Basls of Independent Examinerfs Statement
My examination is 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 seeks explanations from the 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
accounts.
Independent Examiner'5 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 Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with Regulation 9 of the 2006 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.
