## Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity As in previous years, Friends of Ravenstone successfully organized during the year two major events that became the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts: Winter Fair "Ravensnow" and Summer Fair "Ravenstock", Despite the cold weather in December and the heavy rain in June, families came out in full force, showing their unwavering support for these wonderful community events. The success of both fairs was made possible by the incredible dedication of volunteers who gave their time and effort to create unforgettable experiences for everyone. In addition to these flagship events, we introduced a new initiative | this year: the Christmas Shopping Event, "Ravenshop", where we invited local businesses to sell their products. This event not only raised funds for our charity but also provided a platform for smail businesses to gain recognition within the community.
## Expenditures and Contributions
- This year, funds raised were used to support several impactful projects:
- e Early Years Furniture: The purchase of new furniture for Early Years classrooms created a more enriching and comfortable learning environment for the children.
- e Music Provision: Funding was allocated to support music programs for specific year groups, fostering creativity and enhancing the students' musical experience.
- e Extracurricular__Activities: Friends of Ravenstone financed lunchtime play activities, including sports and arts, broadening the children’s experiences outside the classroom.
- e Books for the Library and Home Reading: Recognizing the vital importance of books, we provided additional funding for the school to expand its library collection and offer children more options for reading both in school and at home.

These events have become increasingly popular, offering families an affordable option while promoting sustainability by reducing waste and reusing clothing— benefiting both the community and the environment.

Section D Achievements and performance | For the first time, we also participated in the London Mini Marathon, an exciting and inclusive event that allowed children to run and raise money directly for the school. The day was filled with energy, joy, and pride as the young runners contributed to their community in a meaningful way. Section E Financial review Brief statement of the The charity maintains a reserve cash balance to ensure its ability to charity's policy on reserves sustain a normal spread of activities over the course ofa year. This reserve acts as a safeguard, providing financial stability in the event the PTA is unable to generate its usual level of income or becomes temporarily inactive due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a lack of available volunteers. In the financial year 2021-22, Friends of Ravenstone did not need to draw on its reserve funds, thanks to the continued generosity and active participation of parents and the wider community. This | engagement has allowed the charity to meet its operational commitments without compromising its financial safety net. Unspent funds raised during the academic year are retained in the charity's cash account. These funds are allocated to support future activities and, when appropriate, may be used to finance largerscale projects that exceed the scope of standard annual income. By maintaining this approach, the charity ensures both short-term operational viability and the capacity to invest in impactful, long-term initiatives.
