THE FRIENDS OF OUR LADY OF VICTORIES
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - 7[TH] OCT 2021
SECRETARY’S REPORT (2020-21)
First, we would like to thank Ms Madden, the School Management Team, Governors and all the teaching staff for all the hard work they did and continue to do in dealing with the Covid crisis. OLV has consistently been one of the few schools to be fully operational when others where not. We owe eternal gratitude to them for putting that extra work in and getting our kids back to the fun and learning environment they need to thrive as children.
The last two years have been very challenging for all of us and FOLV’s fundraising efforts have been no exception, the inability to do fundraising events has reduced the income of the charity. Happily, things do seem to be going back to normal and we are excited to be organising fundraising and social events again, which are not just key to the financial health of the charity, but also essential tools of community building, which after all is also a key focus of FOLV. We will continue to focus on increasing direct parental donations to add greater certainty to cash flows and we are also looking into including more events whose sole focus will be social rather than fundraising.
Some key pieces of information:
-
First we welcome Jayne to the Board of Trustees as the new Treasurer and we take this opportunity to thank her for joining us and all the work she is and will be putting in.
-
Aoife, Melanie and Myself have agreed to continue overseeing FOLV for an extra year from the normal two year period in order to conduct a smoother handover at the end of our tenure. We believe that transitioning after a normal year with events, etc will leave FOLV in better shape for the next team.
-
We will continue to rely on the help of Year reps in the delivery of events and engagement with the wider parent community. This has worked very well and we thank all the year reps for their enthusiasm and hard work so far.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
FOLV’s total Opening Balance was £75,456.28 as at 1[st] of September 2020 and total Closing Balance was £55,180.54 as at 31[st] of August 2021.
Income:
FOLV raised a total of £43,824.01 last year, a great effort by all concerned.
81% of FOLV revenue came from parental donations, employer matching and Gift Aid. The final figure for the year has slightly increased (from £34,528) to £35,581, including all employer/ company gift matching & Gift Aid. This year, we focused our efforts on increasing the number of parents donating and parents using employer matching, but with the COVID situation worsening, this proved very difficult.
16% was raised via the organisation of Fund-raising events
The remaining 2% was raised through EasyFundraising and Smile Amazon (there were no cake, clothes and second-hand uniform sales).
Expenditure:
Last year, total expenditure amounted to £64,099.75.
93% of the FOLV expenditure (£52,950) was given over to the school .
4% was related to the costs of running the various events (Backpacks etc).
The remaining 3% was linked to various costs (Bank/Insurance).
Events:
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, last year event related fund-raising was significantly down. Specifically, the following events did not happen:
-
Summer fair
-
Summer party
-
Bingo night
-
Quiz night
-
Cake sales (we had a virtual one!)
-
Sport day
Profit per event:
-
The Secret Room was the most profitable event (£1,886 raised last year, up circa £350 from previous year)
-
Christmas Calendars w ere also important sources of income (Profit of £1,688).
The biggest item of expenditure (55%) this year was in building work on the heating system , closely followed by the Equipment/Enrichment and Educational Support Subscriptions area (42%). This year the school has urgently has to renew the heating system. This is a very large project for the school.
