In planning our activities for the year, we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

The charity seeks to benefit two sections of the community within southwest London where the school is situated. The first is the parents and wider families of all children within the school and the second is the local community more widely, as well as any national or international causes that particularly highlight problems for children less fortunate than those who attend the school.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Our aim for the school community is to ensure that every family can benefit from the social activities that we provide and from the donations of equipment that we make to the school. We believe that through social activities we provide a way for parents, teachers, and children to develop important social networks for mutual support and we encourage the community to work together for mutual benefit and the benefit of others.

We are always mindful of the need to ensure any equipment provided to the school should enhance the learning and opportunities for all pupils and all families.

We believe it is critical for the PTA to support other charities and to demonstrate, particularly to children in the school community, the importance of giving to those less fortunate than themselves. Each year, the PTA asks parents to nominate charities that have relevance to them to provide a basis to determine which charities the PTA supports on a two-year basis. This year the main charities supported by the PTA were Ruth Strauss Foundation and Spread the Happiness. The PTA also made donations to the British Ukrainian aid and Local foodbank.

• policy on grantmaking;

The PTA is extremely grateful to all the volunteers who help to make the PTA and its events successful, giving their time for free and working very hard, with great energy, to benefit the school and wider community.

• policy programme related investment;

• contribution made by volunteers.
