## **Section B Structure, governance and management**
## **Description of the charity’s trusts**
Type of governing document (eg. trust deed, constitution)[Constitution, last updated in 2019]
How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company)[Unincorporated association] Trustee selection methods Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General (eg. appointed by, elected by) Meeting held in September at the beginning of the school year. The trustees meet with parent representatives from each year group every half term on a (roughly) 6 week basis, aligning with the school year. Both trustees and year reps are volunteers who have children attending the school.

## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about:
- ●policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
- ●the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;
- ●relationship with any related parties;
- ●trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
The Trustees oversee the day to day running of the charity. The trustees seek the views of the year reps in deciding the events to be run and often create subcommittees to run individual events with at least 1 trustee advising. All events are checked against our Eco policy and Inclusivity policy. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.
As per our Constitution, all decisions are made by a simple majority vote cast at a committee meeting.
We work closely with the school, keeping the Head updated with fundraising activities and progress and they provide us with a list of funding requests. We work with a few commercial participators and contracts are in place.
The most significant risk to the charity is not being able to make the usual money through large events like fairs and balls due to Covid restrictions and lack of playground. We overcame this by spreading fundraising over a number of virtual events and sponsorships. We are also aware that the cost of living increase is putting pressure on families so we are trying to secure more funding from other sources such as sponsorship.

The objectives of ALSA are set in the context of the broader goals for the school and its pupils. In setting our objectives and planning our activities we have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance. **Summary of the main activities** As the year was during Covid times and the school was undergoing a full **undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these** refurbishment, our key objectives was to provide continuing support for the pupils’ educational experience by helping to pay for a TA and **objects (include within this** resources and by contributing to the Year 6 year books and end of year **section the statutory declaration that trustees have** experiences and paying for any Pupil premium that might not have been able to afford them. We raised these funds by organising outside and **had regard to the guidance** virtual events for the pupils that encouraged a sense of togetherness and **issued by the Charity** community, including themed trails round the town, creating cookbooks of **Commission on public benefit)** family recipes, sponsored starjumps, virtual spin to win, photography competitions & sponsored teacher forfeits.
Section D Achievements and performance
2 March **2012**
**TAR**
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Due to Covid and limited outside space at the school grounds due to building works, ALSA had to adapt our fundraising methods by focusing on more virtual events and individual challenges rather than Fairs and Balls. The most successful of these were virtual raffles and auctions and the sponsored starjumps and teacher forfeits. We also had a teacher that undertook the 3 peak challenge which received a huge amount of sponsorship. Our fundraising was focused on the new school and supplying them with 10 new interactive white boards. So we finished the year on 31 July 2021 with available funds of £26,808 which were allocated to the interactive whiteboards, KS2 TA and Twinkl resource for the next school year 2020-21.
## **Section E Financial review**
