## **Annual Treasurer’s Report:**
## **Newbridge Primary School Association 2022-2023 Registered Charity No. 1014793**
The NPSA is the parent and teacher fundraising body for Newbridge Primary School, Bath, UK. The Association’s aims are to advance the education of the pupils by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the school. In doing so it provides opportunities for parents and local community to get involved with fun activities at the school, and raises funds for ‘extra’ items outside of the main school budget. The NPSA Trustees meet approximately once every two months to vote on funding requests made by the school’s Senior Management team, and the wider NPSA membership also meet once every two months to plan events.
This year Ash Purves fulfilled the role of Chair. She wanted to hold the role for just one year, and at the end of the year at the AGM in July 2022 a new Chair was chosen – Fran Derrien. Tracey Pollard took over from Miriam Wharf at the AGM as Secretary and Katherine Runacres remained as Treasurer for a final year with Becca Whelan taking over at the AGM.
The trustees for this year were Ash Purves (NSPA Chair), Kathy Runacres (NPSA Treasurer), Tracey Pollard (NPSA Secretary), Neil Clews (NPSA Admin), Amy Osborn (Ex NPSA Chair), Hannah Brownell (NPSA volunteer) and Sarah Evans (Chair of School Governors). All have children at the school.
School itself and all the events were back to normal after the pandemic, so we enjoyed a full year of fun and fundraising.
The starting balance in September 2022 was £49,812 (this was both money in the bank and cash in the safe) and the finishing balance on 31[st] August 2023 was £39,579 (again, both money in the bank and cash in the safe combined).
This year we spent £24,906 on outdoor play equipment. This included lots of moveable objects for both upper and lower playground areas, repairs to some existing equipment, and a full trail of wooden play equipment, which the children absolutely love. It was only possible with a huge volunteer effort from parents to clear the area to get it ready for installation. We still owe the play company £22,000 for this, half will be paid in April 2024, and the other half in April 2025.
This year you can see we spent the Medlock Trust grant which we’ve had in the bank account for a few years. This was for outdoor equipment so the full £4520 balance went on the new play equipment.

As usual we keep £16,000 in a savings account to cover approximately 2 years of our very basic commitments to school, and this summer we closed down our Santander account and opened a savings account with Metro Bank. We chose Metro bank because they have a free community bank account, and the branch in Bath has a coin counting machine which would be hugely helpful after our big summer/Christmas fairs which normally involve hours of manually counting coins.
We are still holding onto the National Lottery grant for £6,200 for an intergenerational wellbeing project. This has obviously had to be on hold since the pandemic, and mixing children with more vulnerable older people hasn’t been possible. We hope to be able to organize something next school year.
We were lucky enough to benefit from corporate donations totaling £3,233 and private donations totaling £3,177 during the year. We raised £19,614 through events, a total of £483 from Giving Machine & Amazon Smile. The vast majority of this came from Amazon Smile so its very disappointing that has now been wound up. We also received £195 from Bag2School, unfortunately this is lower that usual as they’ve reduced the amount they pay per kilo.
One of the school teachers ran the London Marathon and raised £4,568. All his donations were received through NPSA’s wonderful.org sponsorship page. This is a free website which processes donations and then provides all donation data to the charity for claiming gift aid. We claimed £1,042 in gift aid. We transferred all of this to school.
A major fundraiser this year was “Grow your playground” which was organized by Lucinda Brook. The company of a school grandparent donated the funds to be able to give every child that wanted to take part £2 to buy materials to then sell. The idea is then they donate the profits from their sales to school, and the children raised £1448. We are very grateful to the donation from Eterna Media, and for Lucinda for organising everything.
Our regular annual commitments to the school totaled £5393 this year. This is a little bit lower than usual because a few larger payments (including Twinkl and forest school) slipped into the next accounting year.
These regular commitments are things like Forest School, trips for year groups, Doodle and Twinkl subscriptions, gifts for year 6 leavers, and batteries for the defibrillators. The Doodle and Twinkl subscriptions are being reviewed by the teachers so may not feature next year.
Along with main outdoor play equipment expenditures, and the regular commitments mentioned above the only other thing we paid for was a puppet show which was enjoyed by all the pupils.

This year the Family grant continued – this is £100 cash which is given to Mrs Kennaugh three times a year so she has an emergency fund for families in need. The idea for this came from the Ukrainian refugees who arrived at our school with very little.
The NPSA spent £81 on assets this year – our ticketing website. Along with that we renewed our Parentkind subscription for £140 which includes insurance cover.
As usual we paid an advance fee to secure a fireworks display for the following year.
Our total income for the year was £38,254, and our total expenditure was £48,487.
