Our Year in Summary

Ivydale League of Friends (ILOF) raises funds to provide additional resources for Ivydale School and to help build a welcoming, inclusive community for children, families, and staff.

In 2025, ILOF raised £42,843, with a net income of £29,020 after event costs. This success reflects the generosity and spirit of the Ivydale community, and the popularity of our events: the Summer Fair, Christmas Fair and hampers, school discos, bake sales, the ILOF Quiz, the Fun Run, the Readathon and Family Book Trail, uniform sales and our new tea towel sale, supported by monthly parental donations and corporate giving.

These events not only raised vital funds but also brought families together and strengthened ties across the school and local community.

Our donations to the school helped support:

Where funds were used directly for specific activities, they were recorded as event expenses; all other surpluses were donated to the school. During the year £25,487 was donated to the school. Looking ahead, we will continue to support a broad programme of enrichment alongside the school, spanning literacy and library resources, music and the performing arts, sport, outdoor and wildlife learning, daily fruit for pupils, creative and cultural experiences, and core classroom materials. Fundraising for the school IT suite will also be a focus for the coming year.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to another fantastic year of community-led fundraising. We couldn’t do it without you.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation of the accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Update Bulletin to the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in the Update Bulletin amending the Charities SORP (FRS 102) from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds it does not qualify as a large company.

Accounting Convention

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under historical cost convention.

Income

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Funds raised specifically for Year 6 cohorts in future years are held on the balance sheet until paid across or applied.

Expenditure

Charitable Expenditure

This comprises all expenditure directly relating to the objectives of the charity.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. Gift Aid recoverable is recognised when the related donation is received and the claim can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where there is a present obligation from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due can be measured or estimated reliably. They are recognised at the settlement amount due.

Cash

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition of opening of the deposit or similar account.

Currency of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

Taxation

As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2. Fundraising Activities

ILOF raised £42,843 through events, donations, and sales, with net funds of £29,020 after direct expenses. Highlights included the Summer Fair, the return of the Fun Run, the Readathon and Family Book Trail, and the ILOF Quiz. The discos, bake sales, uniform sales and Christmas celebrations also performed well, monthly parental donations continued to grow, and a new tea towel sale was introduced during the year.

Where funds were used directly for activities (marked *), these were recorded as expenses. All other proceeds were donated to the school to support equipment, enrichment, and pupil activities, including classroom supplies, the school Oracy programme, theatre group visits and author events, the school chickens and Gardening Squad, and £3,155 for Year 6 Leavers. A further £3,303 raised for future Year 6 cohorts is held on the balance sheet at the year end.
