Achievements and Perfonnance
The NHSA have had a busy year. A handover in leadership, drafting a new constitution,
updating our terms of referen￿, bid system and streamlining finances have taken the
bulk of the committee's time. These are not particularly glamourous tasks and we
extend special thanks to Mrs Kelly Towler for her sterling work on the finances. She has
been forensic in her analysis of the accounts, and we are grateful for her time.
The programme of fundraising events for 2023 included discos in the prep school,
quiz night, a summer fete, support at the school sports days, Ye Olde Christmas
Shoppe for the prep school girls, and our new festive event Shopping by Starlight.
The trustees are particularly indebted to Mrs Jilly Smith and her team for the excellent
program of events they have embedded for the Prep school girls. Similarly, Mrs Bec
Greenwood and her team have worked exceptionally hard on parent focused events.
The Trustees wish to place on record their sincere gratitude to all committee members
and supporters of the NHSA for their on-going generosity and time commitments to help
make all the fundraising activities a success, and the help to enhance the school
environment for all members of the school community.
We thank them all.
During 2023, the fundraising programme enabled the NHSA to donate to Norwich High
School for Girls funds totalling £14,729. These included significant support in design
technology, speakers for a variety of extra-curricular topics including supporting a
women's well-being event for the community, new sports team kits, playground
equipment for the prep school and a variety of items to support clubs and activities. In

addition, each academic year, the Committee designates a portion of funds to support
school trips for those students with bursaries.
Looking foTrvard to the next academic term and the 2024-25 school year, the committee
are keen to build a program of events for the senior school girls and to build on the
success of the uniform shop The shop has taken some £30,000 this year and benefited
from a £12,000 refurbishment. The shop committee asked for 12-24 months to repay
the monies. This was achieved in 12 weeks.
The Trustees would like to acknowledge that significant changes have been made to
how events are planned and run. It is possible that this will have a detrimental impact
on the funds raised moving foThvards.
We welcome any and all suggestions from parents about how we can grow the school
community and engage parents in our events.
Financial Review
The total receipts raised from the fundraising of the NHSA for 2023 is £43,413 and
includes receipts from fundraising events, the second-hand school uniform shop and
Easy Fundraising Receipts generated by fundraising events totalled £12,476, with
expenses of £5,421 . Administrative costs for the year, including bank fees and
Parentkind mpmhArqhip tntAIIAd f1 21 q
Second-hand uniform shop sales have been extremely Su￿ssful this year, generating
£30,891 . Parents are paid 50 % of the sale amount for each item donated to the shop
once the item has sold. The expenses for the shop totalled £6,764. The second-hand
uniform shop was refurbished during this financial year to improve the layout, including
the provision of changing rooms for the girls and to provide shop fittings to enable those
visiting the shop the best access to the stock. The cost of the refurbishment was
£12,023. The shop is managed and staffed by volunteers.
The NHSA is the beneficiary of a bequest by Leona Levine, an alumna of Norwich High
School for Girls. The first payment of £70,000 was donated to the charity on 23rd June
2022. The next receipt of funds of £40,000 will be in February 2024. It is anticipated
the total funds from the estate will take a signrficant amount of time to arrive. The
Committee is convening a Sub-committee to start to gather ideas from the whole
community on how best to utilise the very generous bequest and to determine where
the funds should be held whilst this takes place. The funds are currently held in our
main current account with Barclays, bank, leading us to maintain a high account
balance of unrestricted funds for the charity.
The charity does not have policy on reserves,. however, the charity does have a bank
ar.r.ount of iinre.stric,ted fiindq of £2,1 %, agre.ed by the C.nmmitte.e. to only be. ac.e.p.ssed

the school, second-hand uniform payments to parents and annual administrative
payments.
