## **4. Achievements and Performance**
During the year, YYD PTA made significant progress in supporting the school and its students. Key achievements include:
- **Extracurricular Funding:** The charity funded a variety of items for use within the classroom that would fall outside of statutory funding but provide great benefit and enjoyment to the pupils. Additionally, support was provided for the school ski trip.
- **School-wide activities:** Contributed towards the hosting of events and experiences at the school, such as the provision of bouncy castles at sports day. The charity also invested in the services of Andrew Jenkins of Strength in You to provide coaching and development opportunities for pupils, teaching staff and parents through a programme of events.
- **Charity Ball:** The YYD PTA organised a successful second charity fundraising ball, hosted at Cardiff City Stadium. The event was a significant success in raising a large sum of money and enhancing the awareness of both the charity and the school itself.
- **Experiences for students:** Organising events such as Mother’s Day and Father’ Day stalls and a Christmas Fayre with an inclusive meet Santa experience as well as proving each pupil with an Easter egg or gift.
## **5. Financial Review**
**Income**
The charity’s total income for the year was £45,218 derived primarily from donations, fundraising events of note the Ball and grant funding. We received strong support from the local community, parents, and businesses, which contributed to a very successful year for the charity.
## **Expenditure**
Total expenditure for the year was £44,425 The funds were spent on items that directly support the students.

The charity does not have a specific reserves policy, but this is monitored and governed by the trustees through monthly meetings. As of the year-end, the charity held reserves of £71,332 which the trustees consider adequate for our current level of activity and represents a slight increase over the reporting period.
## **Investment Policy**

The charity complies with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. The trustees have taken steps to ensure robust internal controls are in place to safeguard the charity’s assets and reputation, including dual authorisation on all payments.
## **Safeguarding**
The charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All staff and volunteers undergo safeguarding checks, and we work closely with the school to ensure a safe environment for students.
## **Volunteers**
We are grateful for the dedicated support of our volunteers, without whom many of our fundraising and outreach activities would not be possible. Volunteer involvement has allowed us to increase our impact while avoiding any operating costs.
## **8. Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. They ensure that proper accounting records are maintained and that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the charity’s activities and financial position.
