Our story
From a small after school club run by local parents to a charitable organisation caring for Kemnay's children from breakfast to home time.
- The beginning
Kemnay After School Club
Local families set up Kemnay After School Club, registered as Scottish charity SC029473, to give children a safe and happy place to go after school while parents worked.
- Growing
Breakfast and holiday care
As demand grew, the club added a breakfast club before school and care during the school holidays, becoming Kemnay Breakfast and After School Club.
- 21 October 2020
A new legal home: the SCIO
The club became Kemnay Breakfast and After School Club SCIO, registered Scottish charity SC050536. As a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, the club has its own legal identity, which protects trustees and puts the club on a secure footing.
- After registration
Handing over
The original Kemnay After School Club passed all of its assets and liabilities to the new SCIO and was wound up, so the work carried on without a break for families.
- 2022 to 2023
Busier than ever
Income grew from £55,820 to £61,144, but rising costs meant we spent £69,719 in the year to March 2023, more than we raised.
- November 2026
The KBASC Lottery
To build a steady, reliable income, we're launching a monthly community lottery. The first draw is on Friday 27 November 2026.
- Today
Still here for Kemnay
Our four staff and volunteer trustees continue to care for Kemnay's children every school day and in the holidays.
What we're working towards
- Keeping places affordable for every Kemnay family
- New outdoor and play equipment
- More holiday trips and activities
- A financial cushion so the club is secure for years to come
