Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The events in Southport in July 2024 were not just geographically close to home. All three families who lost loved ones had strong associations with Fun4Kidz. The impact on us all was deeply traumatic but, under Debbie and Becky's calm and compassionate leadership, every possible step was taken to support families, schools and communities.”
• “One of the most significant achievements this year has been the expansion of our out of school clubs. We successfully opened three new afterschool clubs at St Elizabeth's Bootle, English Martyrs' Litherland and St Philip's Southport-and expanded two existing settings at Seaforth and Farnborough Road, Birkdale.”
• “It was a source of sadness that the Multi Academy Trust that one school with a long-standing relationship with Fun4Kidz opted to dispense with our services.”
• “The national shortage of qualified childcare workers remains a persistent challenge. In response, we have strengthened our long-standing commitment to 'growing our own' workforce.”
• “Demand for space at the L30 Community Centre continues to exceed capacity and with no options for expansion currently available, we will continue to explore long-term plans to secure a larger, purpose-built community centre.”
• “This year marked a major milestone in the organisation's development: the completion of a comprehensive organisational review.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
