The main activities of the PTFA are fundraising in line with our objectives to fund activities and equipment for the benefit of students at George Tomlinson School.

This year events included:

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Summer and Autumn discos - Card project - Winter Fair - Carol Singing - 2023 Challenge - The Coin Race - Mini Spring Fair - Adult Quiz - Cook book - Summer Festival - Doughies Pizza kits - Virtual balloon races - Uniform sales - Raffles - Non uniform days

Donations were also given through:

Match funding,
Give as you earn,
- Easy fundraising
- My school lottery
Donations from parents

The trustees have had due regard to public benefit when exercising powers and duties. All activities had the sole purpose of raising funds that would benefit George Tomlinson Primary School.

Trustees were sent copies of the constitution at the start of their term of office. When the Chair investigated the constitution registered with the Charity Commission, this was found to be an older version of the constitution the trustees were using. This was discussed at a trustees meeting and a vote was passed to start the procedure to update the constitution. In the period of this TAR, trustees were not directly given Charity Commission guidance and so in October 23 the Chair emailed trustees a link to the Charity Commission information on What is Involved for Charity Trustees to ensure they fulfilled their legal duties.
