Trustees’ Annual Report
The Friends of St Wilfrid’s - Haywards Heath is a Parent Association that exists to raise funds for the St Wilfrid’s C of E School in Haywards Heath.
During the reporting period, the trustees met regularly, generally at least once every half-term to discuss and plan fundraising events and to assess the charities performance.
Fundraising also followed a well-established calendar in line with previous years which generated a profit from events of £21,662.
In line with the charities normal policy, this excess was used to purchase equipment requested by the management team of St Wilfrid’s School. This included book bags, teaching resources, a leavers barbeque for the year six pupils, performance workshops and activities, equipment to facilitate the upgrading of the light and sound equipment in the main hall of the school.
The money raised exceeded what was used by the school and this is kept to save for larger items the school may request contributions towards in the future.
The charity held its AGM in March 2024 with a well-attended fundraising quiz event, ensuring 100+ people are aware of the accounts and there were no objections to any of the new committee officers and members.
The charity remains in good financial order with a closing balance of £34,453 to carry forward into the new financial year. This is sufficient to provide operating funds for the coming year.
The accounts have been independently examined and audited and confirmed as all in order.
