## **Structure, governance and management**
The governing document of the charity is its constitution, as amended 16 October 2014 and the charity is constituted as an association.
Trustees are appointed by members of the association (comprising parents, guardians, carers of pupils and school staff) at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees can be co-opted at any time.

## **Objectives and activities**
The Friends of Kilmorie (FOK) is a registered charity and the Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) for Kilmorie School. Its objective, as set out in its constitution, is to advance the education of pupils in the school, in particular by:
- developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school
- engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
FOK achieves its objectives by organising activities and events that help the school to build and maintain a strong relationship with its families and the wider local community, while raising funds to support the education and wellbeing of the pupils. This fundraising enables the association to contribute financially to experiences that reinforce pupils' learning and increase their cultural capital, as well as to purchase additional resources, facilities and equipment.
## **Achievements and performance (Chair's summary)**
It was another busy year for FOK’s fundraising activities, with our events well attended and raising much needed funds for the school. The event calendar was largely unchanged from the previous year and feedback we received from all our events was once again very positive.
Our most successful events financially were the Summer and Winter fairs along with a successful sponsored challenge, which involved a community team running the Vitality Big Half. Whilst the Winter fair and the Big Half raised more money than in the previous year, heavy rainfall on the day and night of the Summer fair did have an impact on the amount raised. The rain didn’t seem to dampen enjoyment on the night, and we were really grateful for the support of our community.
In addition to these events we also held:
- An Early Years Garden Party, celebrating the King’s coronation, enjoyed by both existing Kilmorie families and those due to start at the school in September.
- A school disco for year 3 and above.
- A quiz and curry night for parents.
Other successful fundraising activities were also retained, including Christmas cards and year group tea towels. We were grateful for the support of the teachers in making this possible.
During the year several key members of the Committee stepped down, this included a change in Chair and Secretary during the school year. The Committee was, as a result, a lot leaner than in previous years. The team worked hard to ensure the changes didn’t impact on the success of the Committee and I am grateful to all current and previous members for the tremendous effort they put in over the year.
In terms of donations to the school, FOK was able to contribute to the following projects to help support the school:
- Funding the project to improve the acoustics in the main hall. This was our funding priority for the year and has made a real difference.
- Supporting school trips across the school, this was particularly important this year as the cost of coach travel had materially increased.
- Funding the revamp of Susan’s circle to include outdoor music equipment as well as new astroturf.
- Providing two new whiteboards for the school.
- Providing an allowance to each class teacher to be used to purchase resources for their classroom.
5
- FOK supported the new pre-loved book initiative with the purchase of bookshelves, books and other equipment as well as contributing to the school garden.
- Sponsoring International Day and the Great Kilmorie Design initiatives, by covering the cost of resources needed by each class.
This year our general expenses of running the charity were higher than in previous year. The increase was largely a result of some essential maintenance of our storage shed. We also took the opportunity to purchase 10 second hand trestle tables for use at our events, this will reduce our events cost in the future as we wont need to hire as many.
## **Financial review**
The association generates most of its income from fundraising events and in most years has minimal overheads. As this income stream is uncertain, the association avoids committing to expenses that cannot be covered by existing reserves. It is the policy of the association to retain reserves of at least £7,000 to ensure there is sufficient cash to run our key fundraising events each year.
## **How we support the school**
## **1. Financial support**
FOK remains dedicated to fundraising to provide a range of benefits for the school, including ongoing financial support for school trips, classroom resources for class teachers, IT and other equipment and enhancements to the school’s outside areas.
As well as our existing estate agent sponsorship of the two main events, FOK have been promoting matched funding or similar schemes offered by employers.
## **2. Publicity and building our community**
FOK will continue to organise events and activities that bring parents, carers and staff together, building on the already strong sense of community and celebrating the school. Both the trustees and the headteacher feel this to be as important as the fundraising opportunities such events provide.
FOK promotes its work and support for the school via regular updates in the headteacher’s weekly whole school newsletter, social media and FOK representatives in class WhatsApp groups. In addition, trustees network with parents at coffee mornings, open committee meetings and informally in the playground – building on FOK’s ethos of being inclusive and welcoming to all, including those families that are harder to reach.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Friends of Kilmorie**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2023**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of Kilmorie ("the charity") for the period 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity'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 examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have 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 the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.
