## **Friends of SMSP Trustees Annual Report** 

## **Who we are?** 

The Friends is the name we give to the Parent Teachers’ Association (PTA) at SMSP. If you are a parent of a child at SMSP or a member of staff at the school, you’re automatically a member of the Friends. 

## **What do we do?** 

The main aim of the Friends is to raise funds to purchase equipment and provide resources and facilities for the children that are not normally paid for by the Local Authority.  But it is just as important that we have fun doing this and that parents get to meet other parents. In "normal" years we organise two big events each year – the Summer Fair and Christmas Fair – and a host of other events including some very popular social events, such as Comedy and Quiz nights and the School of Rock. We really welcome input directly from parents who may not have been involved with the Friends before or are new parents to SMSP. 

## **When do we meet?** 

The Friends meet twice a term to discuss events, fund raising and spending. We have a committee to oversee the organisation and our meetings are attended by Ms. Swain or Mrs. Bateman. However, we are a very open organisation and rely on contributions from all our parents. You have an open invitation to come to the meetings, get involved and volunteer for as many of the fund raising events as you would like. The dates for the Friends’ meetings are on the school calendar on the website. 

## **What can I do to help?** 

We need people to get involved.  You don’t need any special skills. Can you make coffee? Can you pour wine? Keep spirits from flagging when it’s nearly midnight and the kitchen needs to be tidied after an event? There’s a huge variety of ways you can be part of the Friends  - as a committee member, on an ad hoc basis at different events or as a class rep. In particular, we rely on and appreciate the support of our class reps. 

## **Who decides where the money is spent?** 

You do! The focus for the year’s fund-raising is discussed at the first Friends’ meeting in September. Ms. Swain or Mrs Bateman will make a number of suggestions which we will consider at the meeting. These may be revised in the course of the year. So do come along to the meetings  to be part of the process of deciding where the money should go. 

## **How much do we raise?** 

We raised £23,113 in FY21 through fundraising and events. This was an amazing achieving considering COVID cancelled some of our events and is down to the hard work and dedication of all the parents, staff, governors, children and friends of the school. 

The table below sets out what we raised in FY21:

Just to confirm I have audited the attached spreadsheet and ch￿ked it against the bank statement5 and sUPPQrting
documents. There appears to be no material differences between the accounts and the underlying documentation, and
therefore the prepared accounts appear to be a true and fair representation of the financial results of the Friendg charity
for the year ended 31st August 2021.
I hope this is ok. See you at no)n.
