Section D Achievements and performance
The overall deficit for the year is £314 (paying due consideration to Summary of the main monies owed to the charity and liabilities payable by the charity). achievements of the charity during the year The unprecedented situation posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns and restrictions, has undoubtedly had a significant impact on the fundraising ability of our association, directly impacting the level of income we have been able to raise again this year. This meant that two of the biggest fundraising events of the year, namely the Summer Fair and the Christmas Fair, could not go ahead. The fundraising events and activities held during the year, were as follows: - Lottery; profit of £1,708 - Voluntary Fund income of £1,542 - Gio’s book / School uniform sale income of £1,379 - Rainbow Hampers Raffle; profit of £830 - Tea towels; profit of £450 - Freida’s Book Challenge income of £434 - Christmas Cards; profit of £411 - Waitrose Community Matters Project income of £333 - Bags2School income of £243 - Halloween Trail; profit of £184 - Christmas Cake day income of £180 - Christmas Jumper Day income of £169 - Christmas Tree Sales donations income of £121 - Gio’s Party in the Box income of £65 - Uniform sale income of £45
We repeated the Santa Sleigh event and were able to raise a fantastic £900 due to a great team of volunteers. We continued to make money through the Supermarket voucher scheme, Amazon Smile, and Giving Machine. For this year, rather than put aside £5,000 into the BMM account to provide for future computer equipment purchases for the school – the school spent £4,729 on an Interactive White Board, which W1SPA were able to fund.
Furthermore, W1SPA were able to provide funding to the school totalling £2,911. This included £170 for a science magazine subscription, £240 for a Christmas Book / treat on Christmas Jumper day, £116 for the Y6 leavers pizza, £415 for coaches for school trips to Celtic Harmony and Lincolnsfield Centre, as well as £1,970 for coaches for a school beach trip. Unfortunately, this beach trip got cancelled due to Covid-19 and this money has since been used to pay for coaches for future trips, in the coming year.
It has been noted that fundraising events have recently been making less money than in previous years and so we are adapting our events to suit the changing needs of the school. We continue to welcome feedback from parents as to what will engage them and to encourage new parent volunteers to get involved in future events.

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
W1SPA aims to spend a large proportion of the funds that it raises within the relevant school year, with the following provisions:
-
W1SPA aims to avoid any kind of deficit and spending is phased to protect this situation. The Chair and other Trustees meet regularly with the school to discuss planned spending. Current cash levels are a key consideration before committing to fund future items.
-

-
Sufficient reserves must be kept on a monthly basis to cover outlay on Supermarket vouchers (for this reporting period approx. £2,200 per month)
At the end of the period total reserves were £34,575. The BMM account held £25,163 as a fund for replacing IT equipment in future years, together with the Charity’s current account with a balance held of £9,382. The petty cash balance held was £30.
