section D Achievements and performance
pa ‘ As for many other charities, the global Covid-19 pandemic has had a
slat lLarity significant impact on the charity and in particular its fund-raising activities.
during the year Individual donations and non-event giving have seen a big increase in
this financial year, but the school was able to run a smaller version of its
summer fair for the children within school hours and the usual Christmas
tree and card sale. It is hoped that 2021-22 financial year will see a return
of the larger scale events the school does so well, and the drumbeat of
cake sales and smaller events which punctuate a ‘normal’ term.
The charity continued to fund music provision and enhancements to the
external space at the school — including the Wild Space area, a project
started pre-pandemic. When school was open, extra-curricular sport
activities for lunchtime play were funded to broaden the experience for
children out of the classroom. In addition, the charity funded various
items of technology to support home learning for families whose online
access was limited, and for increased ongoing provision in school.
Section E Financial review
Brief The charity retains a reserve cash balance sufficient to fund a normal
statement ofthe spread of activities in a given year. This is to provide cover in the event of
charity’s policy on reserves the PTA being unable to raise its usual level of income, or should it
become inactive for a period of time — for example through a lack of
volunteers.
Friends of Ravenstone has not needed to use any reserve funds in 2020-
21 due to the ongoing generosity and engagement of parents and the
community.
Where raised funds remain unspent at the end of the academic year,
they are kept in the cash account to support the charity in future and may
then be used for funding more extensive projects in future years which
cannot be covered by standard annual income.

e investment policy and they were able. In addition, the charity organised a sale of event t-shirts objectives including any (as is done every year for the summer fair). ethical investment policy . . adopted. The school introduced a uniform a couple of years ago, and so for the first time a pre-loved uniform sale was held. This proved really successful both financially, and as a way to enable the re-use of clothing at much reduced pricing vs buying new.

Donations - either direct or via sponsorship type events — have remained an important source of additional funds and Friends of Ravenstone is immensely grateful for all the continued support it has received from parents and the wider community. Where applicable, Gift Aid has been claimed on these donations.
