Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Through various events this year such as movie night, Christmas gift sales, Summer Fair and cake sales, the charity have been able to raise monies to benefit not only the children at Stamfordham Primary School but to also the wider community as a whole. The school and its students have benefited from funding by enabling them to buy a reading arch and a ‘squiggle pack’ to be used in all pre-school departments as an early education writing tool. Also, a drumming workshop which all students participated in was an fabulous opportunity to experience different cultures through rhythm and music.

Successful in not only raising funds for FSPS but also for the village hall and St Marys Church.
