Objectives & Activities
Charitable purposes
The objects of the club are to promote the care and education of children in need of care during out of school hours and school holidays including in-service days.
The club is open to children form Claypotts Castle Primary School and St Pius RCS before and after school and any child during school holidays and in-service days.
The club promotes the provision of facilities for the recreation & leisure-time occupation of children in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving conditions of life.
The club aims to:
-
❖ provide primary school age children a safe and stimulating environment in which they will feel happy and secure.
-
❖ encourage the children to explore, appreciate and respect their environment.
-
❖ provide opportunities to stimulate the children’s interest and imagination.
-
❖ provide an interesting range of activities and provide positive images of ethnic minorities and cultures.
-
❖ treat all children as individuals and with respect.
-
❖ encourage good relationships with parents and carers with an open door policy.
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.
The club operates from the community centre during term time where we are able to offer a variety of physical activities and outdoor play.
The holiday and in-service day programmes offer the service users an exciting programme including full day and half day trips to a variety of places in the local area and further afield.
Achievements & Performance
This year since March 2020 and 2021, Covid had an impact on the service. We were closed due to lockdown since March 2020 and re-opened in August 2020. We operated the service up until December 2020 and decided to go back into furlough due to the lack of need for the service. During this period we only had 1-4 children in per day.

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 grant applications during the year.
Receipts on the unrestricted fund were £18,247 (2020 - £54,222) and £19,750 (2020 - £0) on the restricted funds. Payments for the year from unrestricted funds were £22,253 (2020 - £54,543) and £19,750 (2020 - £0) from restricted funds. Operating in an area of deprivation, being closed due to COVID and reduced users of the service has resulted in a deficit of £4,006.
The trustees are again implementing a strict financial management procedure to meet the ongoing activities of the charity.
Reserves Policy
The trustees’ policy is to maintain reserves at around 2-3 months of normal running costs in order to meet commitments and to cover any unexpected expenditure. At the end of the year the club has unrestricted reserves of £4,471.
Plans for Future Periods
We are looking at the need for the service in the area to decide on the future of the club.

The Boomerang Club- scio SC047782 Independent Examiner's Report For the Year Ended 31" March 2021 Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Boomerang Out of School Club I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 3151 March 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 10. 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 ('Ihe 2005 Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) I'the 2006 Regulations"). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10{1)Id) 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. Basls of Independent Examlner'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. {Book Keeper) October 2021
