Trustees’ report

For the year ended 31 August 2025

The trustees of The Association of Friends of All Saints School ( FASS ) present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025.

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 2025, FASS raised £37,724 in total (2024: £35,252). The roughly equivalent amount compared to the year ended 31 August 2024 can be attributed to the decision to run a similar pattern of events as per the year before, albeit with a smaller committee team. A breakdown of FASS’s fundraising sources can be found in the attached accounts.

The fundraising from 2024/25 enabled FASS to spend £(22,079) on donations to the School and on school projects, an analysis of which is also included in the attached accounts. This is very much in line with the average over the last five years (average: £25k).

The main fundraising came from events throughout the year (Christmas Fair, Summer Fair, International evening, Summer Social, weekly cake sales, etc.) from which income of £22,732 was raised against an expense of £(7,996). The next biggest revenue stream was parent donations at £9,185, followed by Estate Agent Donations of £5,725 (raised by parents agreeing to have estate agent boards outside their houses, advertising the larger events).

The year resulted in a surplus of £6,936 after donations to the School, school projects and expenses, resulting in a closing cash balance at the year-end of £21,341. The donations to the school were expected to increase this year, especially regarding payment for the outdoor learning area. We have now returned to a similar cash balance as the average over the past 5 years (of approximately £25k). We believe this is a strong achievement given the aim this year to run the same events schedule as per previous years, but with a much smaller committee team size.

Increasingly curtailed Government funding is causing ever more problematic budgetary constraints on the School. FASS is able to assist in bridging that financial gap: this has been especially important in the current year. 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.
