Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Total income in the year of £37,193 and total expenditure for the year of £45,566, led to an overall deficit for the year of £8,373 – funded by W1SPA reserves from previous years. The primary reason for the overall deficit was due to our funding of the purchase of IT equipment by the school during the year, totalling £12,642.
The main event of the year for W1SPA was Happy’s Circus. It was wonderful to have everyone together again to share an afternoon of laughter and amazement. This proved to be a tremendous success raising an incredible £1,711. Other fundraising events and activities held during the year, were as follows: - Supermarket vouchers; profit of £4,076 - Westival camping at school event; profit of £1,133 - Halloween Disco; profit of £870 - Cake / Ice cream / Tea and coffee sales; profit of £709 - Rainbow raffle; income of £487 - Christmas raffle; income of £452 - Wine night; profit of £363 - Lottery; profit of £412 - Christmas Cards; profit of £411 - Voluntary fund donations; income of £303 - Bags2School; income of £120 - Last day of school sale; income of £84 - Amazon Smile scheme; income of £79 - Uniform sales; income of £75 - Gio’s Party in the Box; income of £53 - Christmas Tree Farm prize money; income of £35 - Christmas events; profit of £32 - Westfield Jumble Trail; income of £25 - Giving machine; income of £15
We repeated the Santa Sleigh event and were able to raise a fantastic £920 due to a great team of volunteers.
As part of our annual commitment, we were able to set aside £5,000 into the BMM account to provide for future computer equipment purchases for the school.
During the year the school spent £12,642 on new IT equipment, which W1SPA were able to fund using the funds held in the BMM account.
In addition to the IT equipment funding, W1SPA were able to provide funding to the school totalling £1,430. This included £415 for a science workshop, £372 for the First News subscription, £118 for book bags for reception children, £135 for Young Voices T Shirts as well as £390 for coaches for a school trip.
We continue to notice that fundraising events have 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.

Section E Financial review
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.
-
W1SPA aims to reserve £5,000 per year into the BMM account to replace IT equipment. If W1SPA identifies other long term fundraising projects, funds may be reserved.
-
Sufficient reserves must be kept on a monthly basis to cover outlay on Supermarket vouchers (for this reporting period approx. £1,500 per month)
At the end of the period total reserves were £26,202. The BMM account held £12,831 as a fund for replacing IT equipment in future years, together with the Charity’s current account with a balance held of £13,341. The petty cash balance held was £30.
