The majority of the funds were raised through several fundraising events throughout the year including, Christmas shopping evening, Wreath making, Discos, Easter Fayre and a Summer Fun Day. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relation to public benefit. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** The main achievements during the year were paying for trim train and playground markings at St Edumund Campion School, the maintenance of the pool and allowances given to teachers for classroom resources. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will still be able to confine the Trust's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. At the end of the financial year, the cash reserves held was £29,430. This financial year and post COVID, we haven't run all the events which would normally be run in a year, so the income hasn't reached pre-COVID levels, this in combination with the higher than normal costs during the year for pool maintenance, has resulted the expenditure being in excess of the income. The pool costs during the year were much higher than a normal year and are expected to return to a normal level over the coming years, so this year's excess of expenditure over income isn't expected to continue. ## **FUTURE PLANS** The policy on non-allocated income is to carry the monies forward to the next fiscal year to cover on-going expenses and future requests for income from the school. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
