Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 We have 3 main achievements, which
have continued from last year.
Firstly we have organised events for the
students and their families and
members of the local community to
enjoy in a safe and secure environment.
They focus on fun and family. They
bring members of the school
community together to enjoy events that
may not be available locally, we have
ensured these events are affordable and
therefore accessible for every family in
the school community. We did this by
keeping our entry fees low and offering
free tickets when asked.
Secondly we used these events to raise
funds for Moulsham Junior School. We
discussed with the children and the
headteacher and other staff members
how they would like these funds to be
spent and distributed within the school.
We again offered a free disco and
hoodies for the year 6 leavers, which
gave those children a lasting final
memory of their time at primary school,
with their friends. In a safe environment.
Again our spending and fundraising
efforts were hampered by a lack of
volunteers

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 We ended the period with £27,399 in the
bank and we spent £18,489
during the period, of which was on
holding events and on
items for the school. We believe a sum
of around £15,000 is the minimum we
need for yearly activities so to have
nearly £20,000 at year end is a good
position to be in. It represents healthy
spending on enhancing the students
lives and a good amount of money raised
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 Reserves are held for paying upfront
fees on future events. I.E. deposits for
the fireworks company, payment of
inflatable company, payment of colour
dye for colour run etc.
We also hold reserve as savings
towards larger projects at the school.
Moving forward over the following years
we have decided to hold larger
reserves/savings so we can buy the
school a larger gift.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £27,399
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 We would aim to never have zero
reserve funds
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 Not in deficit
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 Currently no uncertainties, we will
continue to rely on tickets sales for
funds and this will always be subject to
encouraging parents and families to
attend events.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)		 Para 1.47 Ticket sales at events, we also have
some income from tuck shops and pitch
donations from vendors at events
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted		 Para 1.46
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 Lack of volunteers to organise events,
very hard to have good succession
planning because most parents only
engage with the school for a four year
period.
Other We also struggle with disengaged
families who offer little help in
organising events and only purchase

tickets for events at the last minute, making planning for numbers difficult.

Structure, Governance and Management

Description of charity’s
trusts:
Type of governing document
(trust deed, royal charter)		 Para 1.25 Constitution adopted when the
organisation was formed
How is the charity
constituted?
(e.g unincorporated
association, CIO)		 Para 1.25 Unincorporated association
Trustee selection methods
including details of any
constitutional provisions e.g.
election to post or name of
any person or body entitled
to appoint one or more
trustees		 Para 1.25 New trustees are appointed annually at
the general meeting. Existing trustees
remain in post unless they decide to
leave. We aim to replace trustees if their
children leave the school, as soon as
possible.

Responsibilities and basis As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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 [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to statement undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]]. Delete [ ] if not applicable.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

● 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.
