The charity is governed by a team of 11 trustees who meet regularly and make decisions on which fundraising activities take place plus organise and deliver each event. This team is supported and guided by a team of 24 Class representatives who co-ordinate all the activities and communication for each event plus collect valuable feedback. These trustees liaise with the school and take clear guidance from the school on how the funds raised are to be spent for the benefit of the children and school.

The charity continually fosters and develops relationships with Little Ealing Primary School, with the head teacher serving as President and Trustee of the charity, and 2 additional staff members as a valued additional trustees of the charity.

• A purchasing policy is in place that requires pre-authorisations for purchases on behalf of the charity. An Expense Policy exists for the management of all claims. Issuance of payment for claims, is by cheque and requires two signatures from nominated three approvers. The Chair signs all cheques over £200. The charity will be moving to a new account with online expense payment using appropriate authorisation policies next year.

For the year 24/25 the Chairman (who has acted as Treasurer since 2021) has continued to perform the role of acting Treasurer, with clear guidance from the Treasurer elect and qualified accountant Peter Elson. The new treasurer will complete the accounts for 25/26

scrutinizing of fundraising budgets. This has been considerably simplified by an agreed strategy of moving to cashless payments.

The charity has a target for profit and a budget which is set at the AGM at the start of the year; performance against this budget is monitored throughout the year.

Each event organised sets a budget for income and costs. The treasurer and trustees review the financial performance of each event at their regular meetings.

Notification of events is made to the local council where necessary in order to obtain proper and appropriate licenses. Adequate liability insurance is maintained.

Section C Objectives and activities

1. The main source of the public benefit is the ability of the charity to make grants to Little Ealing Primary School.

2. The Trustees of the charity are fully aware of the importance of public benefit, and how fundraising activities undertaken allow the charity to make these donations to the school.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

1. The charity continues to ensure that the fundraising events enhance the community spirit around the school. As well as the highly profitable events such as the Summer and Christmas Fairs, the charity holds numerous other events; discos aimed at the children; a summer leaving party for the older children; others like Comedy night, Quiz Night and Wreath Making aimed at the parents. This year we have also developed new netball events for parents and children which continues to develop the community and engagement.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

All grants made by the charity are requested by schoolteachers and approved the school Head. Once a grant request is approved by the school Head, it is then submitted to the Chair of Trustees. The grant request is then discussed at the next Trustees meeting for consideration by the Trustees which is then either approved or challenged. The Trustees cannot reject grant requests from the school, but they can challenge potential grants based on costs to be incurred, risks and the potential benefits to the school and the children. The Charity Trustees do not propose grant requests, just as the charity trustees do not dictate school policies or the school curriculum. This ensures that no parent can influence any particular area of school funding.

• policy on grantmaking;

• policy programme related investment;

• contribution made by volunteers.

Volunteers are involved at many stages of the fundraising. Volunteers are organised through the class representative network, and they provide the valuable resources that enable all the fundraising activities to take place. Their input is encouraged either informally via the Class Reps. or through formal events such as the AGM and Parents Evenings.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This year has been another good year for fund raising.

The profit for 24/25 is only slightly down, on the average of the two previous years) due to the cessation of one event (comedy) and also the impact of inflation on key costs (food).

All events continue to generate a surplus for the main purpose of the charity, and we continue to develop our work on ecommerce activities to reduce costs and expand our potential fundraising opportunities.

We are building our reserves to deliver some significant projects to develop many of the facilities of the school.
