Structure Governance & Management
Constitution
The Charity is a SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation). It is governed by its constitution which was adopted when the club was set up and last amended on 27[th] March 2013 when the charity changed its constitutional form . The Club was granted charitable status by OSCR in May 2003 .
Appointment of Trustees
The management committee, which normally meets every 6 – 8 weeks, are the charity’s trustees. Membership of the management committee is open to all parents and guardians of children using the service.
Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting which is normally held in either September. Under the constitution, there must be a minimum of 5 trustees. All trustees must stand down after 2 years but can be re-elected.
Management
The trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the Club, whilst day-to-day running is delegated to the Club’s Manager and Supervisor, who are paid members of staff. The club also employs playworkers who work each day with volunteers helping when requested. The Club Manager attends the trustee meetings to give a report and discuss progress and development.
The trustees are responsible for approving policies and are aware of their legal responsibilities including SCSWIS registration, comprehensive insurance, health and safety, safe recruitment etc. All staff members and volunteers have enhanced disclosures which are renewed under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme.
Objectives & Activities
Charitable purposes
The objects of the club are to promote the care and education of the children in need of care during out of school hours and school holidays.

-
❖ provide opportunities to stimulate the children’s interest and imagination.

Activities
The club offers a varied and interesting range of activities to stimulate and develop the children. These activities include arts and crafts, reading, tabletop activities, board games, music, drama and interactive games.
We have access to the school play ground and the gym hall where we offer a variety of physical activities. Visits from outside agencies are organised to give the children a chance to take part in a more varied range of activities, including circus skills, dance, sports games and many more.
The holiday and in-service day programmes offer the service users a full and exciting programme including full day and half day trips to a variety of places in the local area and further afield i.e. Active Kids, Kids World and the Deer Centre. There is a small additional charge made for the cost of transport to and from the venues.
Achievements & Performance
We continue to offer Breakfast Club and Afterschool Club. We do not offer holiday care as there is still not enough demand. We do offer care at Hilltown OOSCC which a few parents use and where I manage the holiday programme. We have a wide range of toys, equipment, IT equipment for both indoor and outdoor use. We have access to large outdoor spaces within the school grounds and also have the use of the gym hall. Children have the freedom to choose what they want to do and where they want to go. We have a waiting list which remains steady.
Financial Review
The principal funding source of the charity is the weekly fees received from service users. Additional income is generated through fundraising activities and occasional grant income.
Receipts on the unrestricted fund were £33,470 (2019 - £32,357). Payments for the year from unrestricted funds were £30,026 (2019 - £31,373). The club made a surplus of £3,444 in this financial year (previous year: surplus of £984).
The trustees are continuing to implement strict financial management to meet the ongoing activities of the charity.
Reserves Policy
The trustees’ policy is to maintain reserves to enable the club to operate for a whole school term and meet all its liabilities on winding up. Reserves at the end of the year were £7,734 which is below the target range.
Plans for Future Periods
Trustees intend to continue to improve the provision the club already provides. Staff continue to develop their knowledge and understanding through courses throughout the year. Due to Coronavirus and we are about to go into a national lockdown all other plans have been put on hold.

Independent Examiner’s Report
For the Year Ended 31st March 2020
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Mill of Mains Out of School Club
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2020, which are set out on pages 7 to 9.
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 (“the 2005 Act”) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (“the 2006 Regulations”). The charity’s trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 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 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.
