## **Trustees’ report**
For the year ended 31 August 2023
The trustees of The Association of Friends of All Saints School ( _**FASS**_ ) present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023.
## **Objects and activities**
The objects of FASS are the advancement of education of pupils at All Saints C of E Primary School in Fulham, South West London (the _**School**_ ), by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities, materials or equipment not normally provided by the Local Education Authority.
FASS continues to be a thriving and active charity for the pupils currently at the School. Our priorities are to provide a welcoming atmosphere for new parents/carers and their children at the School, and to encourage involvement in supporting the School, both by helping out in the School and by fundraising.
FASS aims to conduct activities which interest and/or entertain all parts of its membership as well as the children.
FASS looks to continue its service to the School through annual events as well as one-off ideas brought to FASS or to the School by the parent/carer group. FASS encourages new ideas as well as support for existing schemes and activities.
FASS is heavily reliant upon, and very grateful for, the help and support provided by volunteers, both from within the membership and beyond, who assist in organising and staging FASS’s various fundraising activities.
## **Achievements and performance**
During the year ended 31 August 2023, FASS raised £58,468 in total (2021: £18,854). The higher amount compared to the year ended 31 August 2022 can be attributed to donations from the Easter Exercise and Billy the Badger challenges, as well as increased parent donations. A breakdown of FASS’s fundraising sources can be found in the attached accounts.
The increased fundraising enabled FASS to spend £(12,035) on donations to the School and on school projects, an analysis of which is also included in the attached accounts. This is a decrease over prior years, and is simply timing related: more funds, especially for the Astroturf, were transferred in 2023/24.
The main fundraising events in the year with positive net incomes were the Easter exercise and Billy the Badger challenges (£25,493), Parent donations/other income (£9,595), the Summer Fair (£6,811) and the Christmas Fair, including tree sales (£6,400). The majority of FASS’s expenses are event-related, with very little in the way of a recurring cost base.
The year resulted in a surplus of £33,915 after donations to the School, school projects and expenses, which has been taken against prior year reserves, resulting in a closing cash balance at the year-end of £49,198. The donation of funds to the school is expected to increase in the year ending 31 August 2024, especially regarding payment for the new AstroTurf which the Easter exercise challenge was run to fund.
Increasingly curtailed Government funding is causing ever more problematic budgetary constraints on the School. FASS is able to assist in bridging that financial gap; however, FASS’s ability to continue to do so is wholly dependent on the generosity of its members and others, not only in terms of financial donations, but also in terms of the time and effort which they devote to FASS.
## **Reserves policy**
FASS maintains a cash reserve of an amount equal to the basic contribution which it gives to the School each year, such as payments for extra classroom resources, school trips and shows for all pupils to attend. Amounts for larger projects, or other specific projects, are retained in FASS’s bank accounts to be transferred to the School when needed and once approved by the trustees.
## **Structure, governance and management**
FASS is an unincorporated charitable organisation, the members of which are all of the parents and carers of pupils at the School.
FASS is governed by a constitution which was adopted on 19 January 2018, following its approval by the Charity Commission.
Management of FASS is vested in its trustees. Any member is eligible to stand for election as a trustee. A trustee may be appointed by the members or by the trustees, although any trustee appointed by the trustees must be ratified by the members at FASS’s next annual general meeting.
The officers of FASS, all of whom must be trustees, are the Chair, the Treasurer and the Secretary. FASS’s constitution also allows for a deputy to be appointed to each of those three offices.
## **Other information**
All parents and carers of pupils at the School are automatically members of FASS. Because trustees must be members of FASS, FASS does not have, and cannot have, any external or corporate trustees.
No trustee holds title to any property belonging to FASS.
FASS does not hold any assets as custodian for any other charity.
