Structure Overview
FOSRS is structured as a small group of parent volunteers, led by a parent chair assisted by a parent secretary and a parent treasurer. It may also have a parent vice chair but this role is not currently filled.
It is managed by the Trustees, led by the chair and holds regular meetings in term time to which all parents, teachers and other interested parties are invited, to discuss fundraising activities. It holds an annual AGM, is insured by Parentkind, and produces an annual report on its finances.
Trustees are recruited from the body of active parent volunteers at a regular meeting.
Objectives and activities undertaken in the year
FOSRS’ objectives are to raise funds to support the school and enhance the children’s learning. In normal times (i.e. prior to the Covid 19 pandemic and associated restrictions) it holds a variety of in-person fundraising events that are either open to all or just open to families of the school. Typical events include Christmas and Summer Fairs, running the Stoke Row Colour Run and supporting Stoke Row Motorsports Day with regard to the provision of refreshments. In the financial year 2019-2020 in-person activity effectively stopped in March 2020 as a result of Government lockdown guidance. It was only the Christmas Fair, Community Quiz Night and sundry cake sales that were able to take place before this date.
Financial Review including Key Achievements and Performance
As noted above, normal in-person fundraising was effectively put on hold part way through the financial year 2019-2020 as a result of Government lockdown advice. As such 89% of income in the financial year 2019-2020 was a result of a drive to increase donations (together with associated gift aid claims). Expenditure in the year was also limited as a result of normal events not running and the school effectively being closed for part of the year. Expenditure included: expenses incurred in running the Christmas Fair and Community Quiz
Night, PTA insurance and leavers gifts for the Year 6 children prior to departure for secondary school including a calculator, dictionary and leaver’s hoodies. As such overall the charity’s cash reserves increased by £26,837.79 in the year.
Donations and gift aid received in the 2019-2020 financial year were subsequently transferred to the school at the beginning of financial year 20202021 to support the existing four class structure of the school and to support and enhance the children’s learning.
