Friends of Morley Trustees’ Annual Report 2024/25 # **Morley Memorial Primary School Association (Friends of Morley) Registered charity 1043583** **Trustees’ Annual Report** # **1[st] September 2024 to 31[st] August 2025** ## **Registered address** Morley Memorial Primary School 91 Blinco Grove Cambridge CB1 7TX ## **Trustees @ 03 November 2025** Rebecca Sims-Williams (Co-chair) Lisa Hellier (Co-chair) Martin Dwyer (Treasurer) Emilie Eve Olivia Bays Pamela Gaillard Flora Daley ## **Charity description** The charity constitution was adopted on 20[th] October 1994 and the charity registered with the Charity Commission on 24[th] January 1995. Morley Memorial Primary School Association or Friends of Morley (FoM) is run by parents of children at the school. Money is raised through donations and fund raising events. The money raised supports the cost of extra activities and equipment to enrich the learning environment of the school. ## **Statement of public benefit** Purpose 1: To provide an enriched learning environment for the pupils and staff of the school. The benefit which flows from this purpose includes the potential for improved welfare and increased educational progress of pupils in the school and links built with the local community. This is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community that are not available through direct school funding. Purpose 2: To improve relationships between home and school. The benefit of this purpose includes links built with the local community and is demonstrated through having an active PTA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. No harm arises from either purpose. 1 Friends of Morley Trustees’ Annual Report 2024/25 The charity’s beneficiaries are primarily children at the school as well as staff and families with children at the school and the local community. Charity trustees (and other FoM committee members) are usually also parents of children at the school and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other beneficiaries. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all beneficiaries. 2 Friends of Morley Trustees, Annual Report 2024125 Chairs, Report: 2024125 review EvontslFundralsSng New Families Welcome Picn Inl8mational fo￿ event Christrnas Cards Merry Mingl W￿8th Making Morley Christmas Tr88S Christmas carols at Rock Road Library Valentines day fiowers KS2 Disco Bingo night Mothers and Olhets gift bags Dads and Lads treat bag8 KS1 Easter Eg9 Hunt Plant sale Summer Fete Class Art Raffles and postcards Frozen Fri¢Jay Valentine5 ay"f lowers sumer Fete K51 Easter 188_Hunt Dad5 Jnd_Lad5 treat bags Christmas Cards 1,1ei- i-y Mingle -IAothers and otherstsif t bags International food event Trees KS2 DISCO C13r 5 Art RDdie li)r ec?I'h ch￿Id-.

Please note the following in comparison to those figures - Donations and Gift aid are listed separately here while they are combined and recorded solely as ‘Donations’ in the submitted accounts. All fundraising listed below shows costs, income and a net fund raising figure while the submitted accounts only show gross totals of income and costs. Administration costs are recorded as a separate payment within the submitted accounts. Donations included a one off donation of £10,000 from a single donor (a past pupil of the school who left many years ago). The charity will place this donation into savings for future spending. 13 Friends of Morley Trustees’ Annual Report 2024/25 ## **Charitable Spending** All charitable spending relating to the 2024/25 year is shown below, however some invoices (including chromebooks, redecoration and some trips and visits) were only received and paid in September 2025, after the end of the reporting period. These are not included in the submitted accounts figures. 14 Friends of Morley Trustees’ Annual Report 2024/25 There was a large spend in September 2024 to contribute to building works which took place in the school over the summer of 2024. A project was undertaken to improve and increase the teaching spaces in the central part of the school which provided more teaching, intervention and meeting spaces. A contribution of £42,400 was taken from the charity’s existing savings fund. Other spending of the previous year’s fundraising is detailed below. ## **Summary of Accounts Totals** ||**Main Account**|**Savings**| |---|---|---| |1 September 2024|£15,229|£90,874| |Income|£29,813|£10,000| |Costs (incl administration)|£8,085|| |Charitable Spending|£9,889|£42,400| |31 August 2025|£27,068|£58,473| |Charitable spending carried|£12,087|| |over to September 2025||| |Remaining balance|£14,981|£58,473| 15 Friends of Morley Trustees’ Annual Report 2024/25 During the academic year 2025/26 the school is planning a refresh of the outdoor space which will involve new equipment for outdoor play and learning, new outdoor seating and provision of shade. The charity will contribute towards these items with the expectation of spending all of the remaining £6,728 above and some further spending from the savings balance of £58,473. ## **Plans for future years and Reserves Policy** In further academic years, the charity has committed to making contributions towards school budgets of £10,000 per year and setting aside £3,500 per year for a rolling program of chromebook replacement (30 new chromebooks required every 3 years). This is in addition to the normal contributions towards equipment and activities that we have usually made in previous years, this regular annual spending is approximately £8,500. Meanwhile the charity will attempt to fund raise a similar amount each year as in previous years. Therefore it is expected that spending will be higher than income by £2,000 - £5,000 for several years with the deficit being drawn from savings. The eventual aim is to stabilise at a reserve level of £10,000 and then match spending to income. 16 **Morley Memorial Primary School Association** |||||**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||**Morley Memorial Primary School Association**|||||||||||**1043583**||||||||| |||**Receipts andpayments accounts**
