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.

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

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.
Each year the BSA contributes a
specified amount per class towards
the cost of school trips to ensure that
all children regardless of financial
means can attend. The BSA also
provides a substantial donation each
year to support the running of the
outdoor swimming pool so that the
children can have swimming lessons
as
art of their PE lessons in the

summer term. This is a facility which
is loved and enjoyed by children
throughout the school.

Financial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21
Cash in the bank as of 31 December
2024 was £29,179.11.
Cash held by the Treasurer as of 31
December 2024 was £914.
We would normally aim to hold
approximately £3,000 of unrestricted
funds in reserve to cover the charity's
operational costs for the year as well
as unexpected costs for equipment
the school might need without notice,
for example damaged parts of the
building such as steps, doors etc.
which need immediate repair for the
safety of the children and equipment
such as tablets which are vital to the
everyday learning of the children but
can be broken very easily and need
uick re
lacement.
