Activities of the Charity for the year The Parenls, Guild continued to receive strong support from staff and parents- event attendance has been returning lo pre-pandemic levels, while community engagement also continues to reap the benefits of embedded adaptations to how the Guild raises funds in support of its objectives and engages with all its stakeholders. During the 2023-2024 year, the School celebrated its 150 anniversary, the construction of a new Junior School building was completed and opened, and the Guild continued to implement ils Annual Plan framework. The Annual Plan was the key output of the 2021-2022 Working Group established to reflect on the Guild's purpose, operations, the management and Ltse of funds and communication lo guide its evolution. It requires the Treasurer and Chair to work together on a target allocation of funds to be agreed by the General Committee in line with School and Guild priorities. The Charity had significantly higher total income this year of £69.133. This year saw no changes lo office holders or the General Committee other than changes to the leadership of one committee (Careers) and preparation for a change in leadership in another {Digital Shop).

Social Committee In 2023-2024 the Social Committee maintained ils focus on bringing Ihe School community together through a series events, with a particular focus on the 150 anniversary celebrations. The three key events it led or supported Ihis year were the annual Christmas Bazaar, the Spring Ball and HillFest.

The Spring Ball was held in March 2024- which will be held every olher year- allowed Ihe Guild to make a large direct contribution to the NHS Bursary Campaign Fund. Finally, another iteration of HillFest, the School-led event in partnership with the Social Committee to showcase the whole School and all ils talents, was held in July 2024 and the Guild made a financial contribution of the income it generated at the event toward5 Costs borne by the School. Digital Shop Commlttee In 2023-2024, the Digital Shop continued to innovate and prepared for a transition to new leadership in 2024-2025. 11 continued lo build on the success of the original remit organising the sale of Pre-Loved Uniforms, and evolve beyond to integrate a range of other Guild activities. The process of consolidating operations has resulted in capturing cost efficiencies
with improved control of inventories and better manage financial risks, with significant benefit. The Digital Shop processed its 1 OOOlh order since inceplion during the year.
