The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102). ## **Objectives and activities** The principal objects of the charity are to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by: - (1) Developing effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school; - (2) Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils. ## **Public Benefit** In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. The trustees confirm that they have given due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. ## **Achievements and performance** The year saw another great success in our fundraising achievements. The PTA Committee organised several fundraising events including a Quiz Night, alongside regular annual events such as the Christmas Fair and the Summer Fair. Christmas fundraising efforts raised a total of £10,740, including £4k from the fair itself (after expenses); £1,888 from Christmas trees and cards; £1,507 from the Christmas Disco; and £1,057 from the raffle. The Summer Fair raised a total of £5,755, comprised of £4,291 from the fair itself (after expenses) and £1,464 from the raffle. Other fundraising events included a Quiz Night; Valentine's Discos; Uniform Sales; a Movie Night, amongst other smaller events. Funds raised provided a wealth of equipment and enrichment opportunities for the children, in addition to funding the Sports and Music teachers for Autumn and Spring terms, and a newly appointed Spanish teacher for the Summer term. ## **Financial Review** Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £61,334 (2023: £67,487), comprising of £19,841 in donations and £41,493 from fundraising events. A total of £60,699 was spent from unrestricted funds in the year. The largest expenditure was on the School teachers at £34k, with other expenditure on classroom equipment, coaches for school trips, enrichment activities (e.g. workshops), staging and lighting for the Summer production, and several smaller items. Fund-raising expenses equated to £7,923 which was largely expenditure required for the School fairs and Quiz Night. The net result for the year was an excess of receipts over payments of £635 on unrestricted funds. Adding brought-forward balances at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31st July 2024 on unrestricted funds totalled £45,492 and restricted funds totalled £1,451, giving total funds of £46,942. ## **Friends of St Peter's School, Hammersmith Trustees' Report For the year ended 31st July 2024** ## **Reserves Policy** It is the target of the PTA committee to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds in excess of £10,000 to meet any unexpected expenditure. The balance of £45,942 held on unrestricted funds at the year end exceeded this target. The balance of £1,451 in the iPads restricted fund is retained towards meeting the cost of leasing iPads for the school which will cover costs for the Autumn Term 2024. Thereafter, further fundraising will be required to continue this provision, which is underway by the PTA committee. ## **Structure, governance and management** There is not a formal method of appointment of members of the PTA committee; any parent/guardian at the school can volunteer themselves to become a member of the PTA committee. By virtue of being a parent/guardian, all are members of the PTA. The members of the PTA committee are responsible for raising funds and liaising with Miss Karen Frazer ("Head Teacher") on making decisions on how the funds of the PTA are spent, taking into account all areas of general concern and importance to the children, parents, staff and others associated with the school. ## **Administrative information** Friends of St Peter's School, Hammersmith is a registered charity, number 1109226.
