Objectives
To enhance the development and resources available to the children of primary school age, by encouraging the parents to support the parents association by: 1. Offering appropriate education and care facilities, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for, and to become involved in, the activities such as events, ensuring the events offer opportunities for all children, whatever their race, culture, religion, gender, means or ability. 2. Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs.
The Parents Association of Grove Wood Primary School raise money by holding annual events for the school and wider community to attend. However, due to COVID, events were restricted and fundraising was limited to seasonal gift shops and selling tickets for Adventure Island, Southend Sealife and Adventure Golf.
Since COVID and the financial situation of our parents we have held less events than we had previously, trying to ensure we do not ask our parents to pay for too many fundraising activities.
Expenditure relating to these fundraisers are included in the expenditure total above.
Payments were not made to the school this financial year as they are attempting to get permission to build a MUGA and have requested a £40,000 donation from us towards its building costs.
Public Benefit
Throughout the year the charity has operated with due regard to its objectives as stated above, for the children of the primary school.
The charity has encouraged the involvement of the wider community in their events, such as the online Christmas Shopping evening, the selling of theatre tickets and the selling of Adventure Island, Southend Sealife and Adventure Golf tickets.
