Structure, Governance & Management

Burntisland Out of School Service (BOSS) was established as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) on 19 October 2012. It is a membership organisation governed by its constitution. Membership of BOSS is open to anyone aged 16 or over who is:

The membership elect annually from their number a Board of charity trustees that is responsible for the management and administration of the charity. The Board employs a staff team led by the manager to deliver the services provided by BOSS.

Objectives & Activities

The charity’s purposes are to:

To achieve the above purpose BOSS runs an after-school club and provides holiday play-schemes during school holidays and in-service days.

Achievements & Performance

BOSS has continued to provide the highest quality childcare that is both affordable and assessable during 2024-25. Our after-school club, breakfast club and holiday clubs remain popular with the number of sessions increasing slightly year on year. We have maintained the quality recognised in our most recent inspection (2022) by focusing on meeting the needs of our service users by building relationships both with children and their families and the team conducting regular consultations with the children.

We are thankful for donations of £1,000 from the Big Green Market, £100 from Coop Community Fund and £100 from Scottish Enterprise Charity Fund and these funds help activities and resources for the children to benefit from.

Trustees’ Annual Report

Year ended 31 March 2025

Financial Review

Income for the year was £113,806 principally from fees for the services provided a grant from Fife Council and fundraising. With expenditure of £115,478 BOSS had a deficit of £1,672 which was funded from the reserves brought forward from the previous year. At the 31 March 2025 BOSS held total funds of £57,805.

The Trustees consider it prudent to hold a general reserve or contingency fund equivalent to 6 months running costs or £50,000 to cover overheads and liabilities and, should income decline, allow time to secure other funding. At the 31 March 2025 BOSS had a general reserve of £57,805 and had met this target.

Independent Examiner's Report

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 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 requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”).

I have satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Regulation (10)(1)(d) of the 2006 Regulations and is eligible for independent examination. I have therefore examined the charity’s accounts as required under section (44)(1)(c) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. In carrying out my examination I have followed the guidance issued to independent examiners by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:

  1. that accounting records were not kept as required by section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations; or

  2. that the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations; or

  4. that there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination and I have no concerns in respect of any of the areas listed above and I have found no other matters that require drawing to your attention.
