## **Achievements and Performance**

|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**We ran over 16 fundraising events last**<br>**year and we drove an income of just**<br>**over £27k.  Obviously we have costs**<br>**attached to some of our events but we**<br>**are currently running at margins of**<br>**around 39% so we are raising a**<br>**phenomenal amount of additional funds**<br>**for Julians school which is needed no**<br>**more than ever, with government cuts**<br>**and tighter academic budgets.  Last year**<br>**we invested into these initiatives:**<br>•<br>**Reception play area**<br>**improvements**<br>•<br>**Primary Shakespeare Programme**<br>•<br>**Year 6 Leavers Book**<br>•<br>**Black History Month Literature**<br>**for the library**<br>•<br>**‘No Cold Child’ winter coats**<br>•<br>**Playground equipment and shed**<br>•<br>**Year 6 leavers books**<br>•<br>**Christmas pantomime**<br>•<br>**Each year group got a pot of**<br>**funds**<br>**We also agreed to fund the larger school**<br>**grounds initiative of Trees for Cities to**<br>**improve the outdoor spaces at both the**<br>**Streatham and West Norwood site.  The**<br>**funds for this however were paid in**<br>**October 2024 so this will be realised in**<br>**the next financial return.**|



**Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: 

|Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para 1.41|**After some fallow post covid years our**<br>**bank balance had built up and so we set**<br>**the following objectives for 2023/20024**<br>•<br>**Spend more of the funds raised –**<br>**work in collaboration with the**<br>**school leadership to focus on**<br>**investment**<br>•<br>**To improve communication with**<br>**the school community**<br>•<br>**Continue fundraising, focus on**<br>**reducing margins year on year**<br>**Our spending (on investments to the**<br>**school, not cost) was up significantly**<br>**year on year and we made the decision**<br>**to make some big investments for the**<br>**outdoor spaces which had never been**<br>**made at such a level before (£20k).**<br>**Communication was much improved via**<br>**class WhatsApp groups, social posts**|
|---|---|---|





|||**and posters around the school resulting**<br>**in more participation and more money**<br>**raised year on year.**<br>**And whilst we tried to make every penny**<br>**of cost work as hard as possible we feel**<br>**that further into next year we will see**<br>**more improvements behind this.**|
|---|---|---|
|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|**The school have been thrilled with the**<br>**support that the PTFA have provided**<br>**and were very clear that without our**<br>**support many of these initiatives simply**<br>**would have not happened.  This was**<br>**also recognised in the school governors**<br>**end of year report.**|
|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|**We definitely spent the budget we set**<br>**out to spend, but excellent fund raising**<br>**has filled the bank account again and**<br>**our objective is to find another big**<br>**project (year on year off) to save for,**<br>**whilst continuing to invest in the core**<br>**initiatives every year (e.g. Primary**<br>**Shakespeare, etc.).**|

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**Our CC16a form has been completed**<br>**along with our own financial systems**<br>**submitted for independent examination,**<br>**a summary is here:**<br>**Starting balance Oct 1st 2023:** **£27,164.77**<br>**Income: £27,368.86**<br>**Outgoings: -£16,646.31**<br>**Closing balance 30th Sept 2024:**<br>**£37,887.32**|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**We don’t have a policy to holding**<br>**reserves – as an organisation we have**<br>**no fixed costs that must be delivered at**<br>**any given time, we are a cash in and**<br>**cash out business really with not fixed**<br>**operating costs.**|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|**N/A**<br>**We don’t have a policy of this but we do**<br>**try and avoid the balance getting below**<br>**£5k, and the reason being that the**<br>**summer fair needs a fair amount of**<br>**investment for that event to happen so**<br>**cost goes out, before the return comes**<br>**in, so we do need a buffer for that,**<br>**however this isn’t a fixed ‘policy’ as**<br>**such, more a sensible decision we all**<br>**make.**|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|**We don’t have any fixed costs**|

|---|---|---|





|||•<br>**Festive Friday**<br>•<br>**Summer Fair**<br>**Community participation from these**<br>**events drives most of our revenue but**<br>**we do also see money come in via:**<br>•<br>**Private donors**<br>•<br>**Estate agent boards as sales and**<br>**marketing to drive revenue**<br>**towards funding the summer fair**<br>•<br>**We sell stalls to outside traders**<br>**at the summer fair**<br>•<br>**We also have some revenue that**<br>**comes through via school**<br>**cashback schemes.**<br>**You will see this colour coded on our**<br>**financial sheets.**|

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees** JULIANS PRIMARY SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION **On accounts for the year** 30 September 2024 **Charity no** 1015176 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1-2 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30 September 2024. 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with those records. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Section B                           Disclosure** 

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). 

**Give here brief details of** In carrying out my examination it was noted that a personal payment was **any items that the** accidentally made from the Trust’s bank account for £10,000 during the period. **examiner wishes to** The error was identified and corrected in a matter of days as the Treasurer **disclose** . performs a weekly bank account check. 

As the payment did not relate to the activities of the Trust, and was cancelled by paying back in the £10,000 to the Trust’s bank account, the amount has not been accounted for as part of the payments or receipts within the Trust’s return. 

The error was adequately addressed within the Trustees Annual report, including a description of how the error arose and the measures in place to ensure it will not recur. 

It should be noted that this is not being disclosed as a material matter of concern but only for transparency and completeness.
