Leigh North Street Schools Parents, Association Registered Charity No. 1083811 CHAIR'S REPORT- 2022-2023 This report is an overview of the artivities of Leigh North Street School parents, association from October 2022- September 2023. It has been an incredibly successful fundraising year for the PA. I would like to thank the entire team for all their effort this past year. It has certainly been a year full of lessons learnt. I would also like to thank all the school staff for their patience, guidance and support for the past year. Thank you to the site team for helping at all events and giving up your free time, it really is appreciated. Thank you to the kitchen staff for giving up your free time to serve yummy hotdogs at the Christmas Fayre and Inflatable Day. Thank you to all the children and parents that have spent their time and money at events throughout the year and a HUGE thank you to everyone that has volunteered to help at an event. the PA could not hold events without volunteers, so all help is greatly appreciated. We have successfully reintroduced popular fundraising events to the school after a long break due to covid and social distancing. It has been an absolute pleasure to see the joy and excitement from both children and adults at the events. The main goal of the PA is to raise funds that go towards enhancing our children's school life. Events and fundraisin Christmas Fa re- This event needs plenty of volunteers, pre-planning and lots of mince pies and mulled wine I It is a great way to raise money while spreading some Christmas cheer. iht- This event requires minimal help. Setup tables and decoration. Nigel hosted the uiz ni quiz this year and it was a roaring success. Everybody had a great time answering questions and playing games. KS2 Disco- This event requires many volunteers. Alongside the disco is face painting, tattoos, Tuckshop and new to 2023 was a quiet zone which provided a space away from the noise. Joe Banana was an expense but was worth every penny. Leavers Disco- Organised with Mr Martin, the PA provided support with inflatables, ice- cream van, a DJ, a Photo Booth and the Leavers Hoodies. Inflatable Fun This event is very volunteer heavy. Cooperation between staff, site team and the PA is essential. A very good fund raiser and lots of fun for the children. Summer fair Welcome Back Fair The first attempt was unfortunately cancelled due to a weather warning, however we were able to reschedule for September and put on a successful event for the school families and community. In previous years the PA has been cash based. This year our treasurer introduced QR code payments and a card machine. Fundraising projects have also been moved online. Overall it is more convenient for parents and the PA team.

Adventure Island Sealife vouchers- All vouchers can now be purchased from Other Kids using a QR code Pre-loved Uniform Coffee Club- Good as new uniform with no price tag, only a donation. I added a Coffee Morning this year, which offered a warm safe space for families to enjoy free activities and free refreshments. Plant Sale- New for this year and it was very successful alongside the uniform sale. Eas fundraisin The name says it all, money raised for our school f rom online shopping. Gilbert and Rose Estate ent Boards- Sponsored advertising for the Summer Fete, paying a £10 donation to the PA for every estate agent board in the gardens of volunteer households. 500 Club- A lottery style fundraiser, the income of which goes towards the running and upkeep of the school pool. The more people involved the bigger the prizes. Our children are very fortunate to have a swimming pool on site so support is vital. Funds spent Please take a moment to view our treasurerfs report to see where money has been spent and what we have raised. Some examples of what we have funded this year.. Ipads Leavers party (bouncy castle and ice cream vanl Christmas tree Christmas crackers Santa gifts for grotto Freddos for all children (gift from PAI Easter eggs Leavers Hoodies IPA paid for somel Coronation seeds 4 x Gazebos A future payment of £20,000 will be made to help pay for the new play equipment and flooring in the KSI playground. It is important to recognise that the hard work from previous PA members made this donation possible. Leigh North Street Schools Parents, Association Registered Charity No. 1083811 Local business and community groups Donations f rom local businesses make our raffles possible. The generosity they show when donating prizes is extraordinary. Wenborne, Weller & Spooner also made a generous donation of £500 towards the new school training kits, obtained through the PA asking for sponsorship. The Lions Club of Leigh-on-sea have also donated proceeds from their pig race at two of our events. The Future Mr Hautler wanted to replace the equipment and flooring in the KSI playground. With the help of PA fundraising and a very generous donation from the Leigh-on-sea Lions Club this was made possible. The students love their new play area, so money was well spent. A couple of things mentioned for the future: Replace astro turf Netball uniforms Last year the future of the PA was uncertain, key roles needed filling and there was no one to fill them. I volunteered for the role of Chair and was elected for the position. I worked very closely with Clare Raker, previous Chair of the PA, in the months running up to and after the committee was elected. l am proud to say I put my heart and soul into everything regarding the PA. I'm not a natural leader or delegator but I was passionate, enthusiastic and kind. Due to personal reasons, I believe it is right for me to step away from the PA. From a personal level I would like to thank the individuals that have helped and supported me without judgement. l am certain the PA will continue to grow and raise lots of money going forward. I wish the new committee every success in their future endeavours.
