Trustees, Annual Report for the period From 01.01.2024 to 31.12.2024 Charity name: Bourn School Association Charity registration number: 1128715 Objectives and Activities SORP reference Para. 1.17 Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document The Bourn School Association is made up of parents, carers and teachers who meet regularly to plan the fundraising and social events that help to build and strengthen links between families, the school and the local community, as well as raising money to provide extra facilities and ortunities for the children. This year has seen a number of fundraising events, which have brought together the school as a community, as well as providing vital funds for additional activities and equipment that the school budget cannot stretch to. Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. Para 1.17 and 1.19 The regular events which took place this year included a school disco in February, a Mother's Day gift shop in March, an Easter egg hunt in March, a summer fete in July, Bourn to Run in September which is a 10k and 3k race organised for local runners and families including children of the school, a quiz night for parents, Christmas cards and related goods that the children designed themselves for sale to parents, a Christmas gift shop where children can purchase gifts to give to family members that they have chosen themselves and our Christmas extravaganza event Christmas Capers which is held on the first Saturday of December at the school and is attended by the majority of the families attending the school with various fun games, a Christmas café and stalls for the parents to browse. This is in addition to various additional services provided by the BSA such as serving and selling tea, coffee and sometimes offerin
licensed bar at various school events to boost funds including for example sports day, Christmas performances and school plays. In addition to this the BSA manages a second hand uniform stock where parents can donate uniforms they no longer need and the BSA sells it on as and when needed and via organised sales that take place throughout the year. In addition to this the BSA organises a quarterly bag drop whereby parents can donate bags of unwanted clothes, shoes and bags which are collected by a charity and a donation is received correlating to the weight of the donations. In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. All events were designed to engage children at the school and their families, to build a community feeling, whilst at the same time providing a material benefit to children at the school. Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit Para.1.18 Additional information (optional) Contributions made by volunteers Para 1.38 We are grateful to all the member volunteers who selflessly give their time and energy to organise fundraising events for the school. Many of the experiences children enjoy in school and much of the equipment they have available to use would not be there without these volunteers. Achievements and Performance SORP reference Para 1.20 Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.
