F.O.N.I.S.A. is a charitable unincorporated organisation. ## **Trustees** The Trustees who have served during the year and the period up to the date of this report are as follows: |Sophie Aitken|(Chairperson)|Appointed 08/10/2019|| |---|---|---|---| |Chloe Robak|(Chairperson)|Appointed 01/09/2023|| |Anisha Ciba|(Treasurer)|Appointed 01/09/2023|Resigned 23/09/2024| |Julie Browne|(Trustee)|Appointed 08/10/2019|| The Charity is managed by the Executive Committee whose members are trustees. All of the members of the executive committee retire from office at the end of the annual general meeting but may offer themselves for re-election and re-appointment. ## **Objects** The objects of the Charity are to advance the education of the pupils of Newnham Infant and Nursery School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities (not required to be provided by the Local Education Authority) for education at the school. ## **Review of activities and achievements** The principal activities of F.O.N.I.S.A. are to generate funds to donate to Newnham Infant and Nursery School for specific projects. These funds are generated by holding various fundraising events throughout the year. The trustees and school are pleased with the fundraising events that have generated a profit of £34,694 in the year, an increase of £10,758 from the previous year. A key driver of this £10,758 increase was focusing on producing income through Employer Match Funding schemes. We received £6,772 in Match Funding this year compared to £1,000 in the previous year (up £5,772). The school fairs were also up, generating an additional £2,065 compared to the previous year. Increasing the number of Movie Nights run from once a year to once a term (three times a year) increased Movie Night profits by £1,867 compared to the previous year. ## **Distribution of funds to Newnham Infant and Nursery School** A total of £19,587 was donated to Newnham Infant and Nursery School for the academic year. Items purchased include; - School hall lighting - Nursery and Reception outdoor equipment - Updating furniture including new placement mats for Nursery, Reception and Year 1 - Curriculum enhancement workshop days for all years - Contribution towards coach costs for school trips - Reading Eggs annual subscription - Jigsaw Programme annual subscription - Consumable items for Gardening, Cooking and Crafts ## **Public Benefit** The trustees have followed guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

522| |---|---|---|---| ||||**34,694**| The trustees consider that the appropriate level of free reserves the charity will require is to have sufficient funds to cover the costs to set-up one of the fund-raising events and maintain a stock of uniform. A reserve of £33,314 is held in a savings account as contingency to ensure that if the charity was to not run for a year it would still be able to provide certain funds to the school if the trustees chose to do so. The trustees are satisfied with the current level of cash in the current accounts which stands at £11,495. This level of cash will overall increase once debtors are received and liabilities paid. It will be sufficient to meet any further uniform orders and fundraising costs that may arise. ## **Grant-making Policy** The Executive Committee assess the requests for donations from Newnham Infant and Nursery School at the regular meetings of F.O.N.I.S.A. to help in the provision of facilities at the school. These donations are given to the school at a later date when payment is requested for items that have previously been agreed to. Page 4 ## **Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities** The Charities Act 1993 require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and - Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable - Follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements; and - Prepare the financial statement on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records, which are such as to disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Charity at any time, and enable them as trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with charity law. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the Charity’s assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Principal accounting policies** ## **Basis of Accounting** These accounts have been prepared on the basis of Historic cost in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities – statement of recommended practice (SORP 2015) and with the Charities Act 1993. ## **INCOMING RESOURCES** ## **Recognition of Incoming Resources** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is entitled to receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure** Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fund raising income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. ## **Investment Income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. ## **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** ## **Liability Recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. ## **Governance Costs** Includes costs of; preparing and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of Trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to Trustees on governance or constitutional matters. ## **FUND ACCOUNTING** Donations received for the general purposes of the Charity are included as unrestricted funds. donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to ‘restricted funds’ where these wishes are legally binding on the Trustees. **2. Gift Aid for previous years** Gift Aid was not claimed for voluntary contributions in years 2020/2021, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. A back dated claim was made to HMRC for these years which resulted in £282 being paid to FONISA. ## **3. Charity Collections** Charity collections on behalf of the school for NSPCC Number Day, Children in Need, Comic Relief and a Christmas collection (Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals in 2024). Once collected this money was transferred directly to each individual charity. ## **4. Restated 2022/2023 figures** The 2022/2023 figures have been restated to take into account the incorrect classification of £1,000 of Match Funding income. This was originally classed as "Income from donations" on the Balance Sheet in 2022/2023. Match Funding involves actively seeking funds hence is a form of fundraising and not a donation. The £1,000 has been reclassified to "Income from charitable activities". Page 8 ## **Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 continued** |**5.
