We aim to encourage continuous improvement, good governan, and effective management across all member organisations.

We provide access to information, 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.

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 ServIS and provide assistance where required.
n support of the advancement of education and skills development. the organisation acSSed a number of training opportunities during the year. These opportunities helped members and representatives remain informed 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 continuing to explore future funding opportunities and considering ways to expand membership and participation during the coming year. These activities aim to support the long-t8rm sustainability and development of community services and encourage greater involvement within the sector. Chairnian's Report l am pleased to present this report on behalf of the charity and to 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 assist groups in achieving and maintaining high standards of care, while also acting as an advisory body to help address any issues or challenges that may arise. Unfortunatety. this was a particularly quiet year for the organisation. Ongoing illness within the Board significantly impacted the level of activity and limited the amount of development work, meetings. and wider engagement that could be undertaken throughout the year. Despite these challenges, the charity continued to operate and remained available to provide support and advice to member groups where required. We maintained contact with members where possible and continued to offer guidance on issues affecting out-of-sch¢)ol care providers. The Board would like to thank everyone who has continued to support the charity throughout the year. including members, volunteers. and partner organisations. Your patien. understanding, and ongoing commitment have been greatly appreciated during what has been a difficult and challenging period for the organisation. 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.
