Income is raised from event ticket sales; income from stalls and raffles. selling pre-loved unifomis; selling class tea towels; ASDA funding; Easy Fundraising, and Charity Commission matched funding. Events and Activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects The PTA works with the school, pupils, their families, and the local community to PLrt on a range of events and activities. This year a considerable amount of effort has been put into holding events such as a fireworks display, Christmas fair, food and drink festival, Share Ramadan, Liverpool College's Got Talent, Wine & Wisdom evening, Bowling, bar at the estates leaving do, High School Musical, Halloween discos; Spring Soiree and Christingle, plus others. These help to build the school community, break down barriers and help fundraise.

A great contribution is made by volunteers who give up their time to help arrange and run the various events throughout the year. Wrthout them it would be impossible to raise enough money to support these grants. It is the PTA Policy for the school to seek fvlly costed grant nominations from Liverpool College, which are checked by SLT before being presented for consultation by the PTA Trustees. These costs should typically include 3 competitive quotes, unless circumstances do not allow. All 3 TrUStS then vote on the merits of the grant requesL
Achievements and Performance Income was higher than in previous years for a number of reasons" because we held more events and sold more tickets than in previous years; ticket pricing was higher; we had a mix of PTA run stalls at events together with 3 party stalls paying a commission. we built on the success of selling tea towels in previous years,; with rising inflation we had a particular focus on cost control which helped supress costs and increase surplus (one such example was to switch provider for event tickets which saved money). Otherwise, we were able to run successful events to achieve our objectives of bringing the school community together and raising money for charity. Financial Review In summary, the opening reserves position on 1 August 2023 was £16,493.57. Income for the year was £35,982.99 with costs of £15,570.19.
