The Annual General Meeting was held on 9[th] October 2024.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The governing document of the charity is its constitution, as amended 25 September 2023 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 coopted 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:
4
- 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 similar to the previous year with a few additions and feedback we received from all our events was once again very positive.
Our most successful events financially were the Summer and Winter fairs.
In addition to these events, we also held:
- An Early Years Garden Party, 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.
- A Pride picnic for parents and children from all years
- A reunion disco for recent school leavers
Other successful fundraising activities were also retained, including Christmas cards and Christmas tree sales, and Big Half Marathon fundraising. We were grateful for the support of the teachers and parents in making this possible.
In addition to fundraising, we also ran campaigns to support our community (Allies), the new SEN hub and the new library. We were very grateful for all donations received.
In terms of donations to the school, we were delighted to be able to support such a wide and diverse number of initiatives across the school. This included:
- Providing 20 new tablets.
- Providing two new whiteboards.
- Outdoor play equipment (Opal play).
- New garden fence.
- Resources for the library.
- Supporting school trips.
- Providing resources for classrooms.
As well as our financial successes, we were delighted to see the strong engagement with Friends of Kilmorie and all the help from many volunteers across our events. We are extremely grateful for all the support we have received in making 2024/25 one of our most successful yet.

## **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 schools outside areas.
As well as sponsorship for our main events, FOK have been promoting matched funding or similar schemes offered by employers. We have also set up fundraising campaigns to support individual projects in school that need financial support that we are unable to provide from our reserves.
## **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, FOK representatives in class WhatsApp groups and our new Friends of Kilmorie newsletters. 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.
## **Declaration**
The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge, there is no information relevant to the examination of which the independent examiner is unaware. The trustees also confirm that they have taken all the necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant information and that this information has been communicated to the independent examiner.

## **FRIENDS OF KILMORIE**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Friends of Kilmorie**
## **For the year ended 31 August 2025**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of Kilmorie ("the charity") for the period 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025.
## **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.
