Friends of John Hampden Financial Report for the year ended 31 August 2025

Financial Report for the year ended 31 August 2025

The trustees of The Friends of John Hampden (the “PTA” or “charity”) have the pleasure in presenting their Financial Report for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Objectives and Activities

The objective of the PTA is to advance the education of the pupils in the John Hampden School Wendover.

In furtherance of this object the Charity may:

Activities and Achievement of Objectives

Fundraising Events: Members of the PTA have organised and volunteered at a number of fundraising events throughout the school year, raising a net total of £18,194 which will be used to support the John Hampden School in line with the PTA’s objectives.

Fundraising activities included:

Grants: The Friends of John Hampden received a £5,000 grant from Wendover Parish Council, awarded in 2023/24 and received during this financial year.

Funding : We have provided one grant to the school during the academic year totalling £5,505. This comprised £5,000 in relation to the grant received from the Wendover Parish Council to replenish playground equipment and the Year 2 Canopy area, and £505 for Christmas crackers purchased for the school.

Volunteers and Community Support

The trustees would like to thank everyone who has supported them throughout the year, particularly those members who organise and help out at events. These events are fun for everyone but take a great deal of work behind the scenes, and would not happen if it wasn’t for the dedicated parents and staff who give up their time to ensure that we raise money and community spirit for the school.

Friends of John Hampden Financial Report for the year ended 31 August 2025

Financial Review

The trustees are delighted to report another successful year for the Friends of John Hampden. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community, we raised £25,518 (Excluding Grants) through fundraising activities during 2024/25 (2023/24: £23,681).

After deducting the costs of running our events, our net fundraising income totalled £18,194 (2023/24: £18,271). While gross income increased, we are proud that our dedicated event organisers have maintained strong profit margins through thoughtful cost management, which has been particularly important in the current challenging economic climate.

Our community continues to show wonderful support for our flagship events such as the Christmas Fayre (£5,017; 2023/24: £5,447), May Fayre (£4,840; 2023/24: £4,689) and the Summer BBQ (£1,175; 2023/24: £1,499).

The Halloween Trail was a spooky success raising £943 while the January disco gave an opportunity to dance away the winter blues raising £696. The Class Tea Towels were a lovely new addition to celebrate Mrs Barnes that proved to be very popular with the children and contributed an additional net profit of £649 to our already successful merchandise sales.

Supporting the School

During the year, we provided £5,505 in funding to the John Hampden School, comprising £5,000 to replenish playground equipment and the Year 2 Canopy area, and £505 for Christmas crackers. Overall spend was lower than planned with the school choosing to defer some larger planned expenditure to the 2025/26 academic year, allowing for more strategic investment as set out below.

Looking Ahead to 2025/26

The school’s wish list for the next academic year 25-26 is as follows:

The trustees are confident that the targets set for the next academic year 2025/26 are achievable. With exciting new events planned, including a Quiz Night, movie night and fun run, alongside our established favourites we expect fundraising to remain consistent with this year’s results.

Reserves

As of 31 August 2025, the charity holds reserves of £23,318. In line with our reserves policy, approximately £3,000 of this is maintained as working capital to cover operational costs and event setup expenses. The remaining £20,318 is available to be invested to support the charity’s objectives during the coming year.

Every pound raised represents hours of volunteer time, generous donations and the fantastic community spirit that makes John Hampden School so special. Thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way, we truly couldn't do it without you.
