ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022
The charitable objects of Friends of Barrow Hill Junior School are:
“The advancement of education of pupils in Barrow Hill Junior School in particular by: a) developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school;
b) engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.”
During 2022, we have continued to grow our in-person activities (which stopped completely during the Covid-19 pandemic). Our income this year was much higher than in 2021, albeit still substantially lower than the average in the years prior to the pandemic, largely because we no longer hold the large Winter Fair (which had been placing a considerable burden on the school caretaker and other school staff). We are very grateful to the many parents, teachers, pupils and friends who have contributed their time, energy, ideas, cooking skills, money and in-kind donations to foster a sense of community and to raise funds to support the school.
Our accounts for 2022 show income of £7,686 (compared with £2,543 last year). Outgoings were £2,433 – most of which was spent on funding coach transport for the Sayers Croft trip (which we have done for many years) and the training for the ‘Worry Wipers’ who help promote a culture of inclusion and mutual support amongst the pupils. Although £562 was spent on costs of fundraising, it is important to note that this was spending on events that themselves form part of our charitable mission by providing activities that directly enhance the children’s school experience and also strengthen the school community. We ended the year with £15,047 cash at bank (compared with £9,794 last year). We have no other significant assets.
Trustees
The trustees of FOBH are responsible for governing the charity, including by deciding how our funds should be spent to assist the school in pursuance of the second limb of our charitable objects.
An election of a new board of trustees will take place at the AGM in Autumn Term 2023 which will be held in person. We seek to maintain a board of trustees that is representative of the school community and brings an appropriate spread of useful skills and experience. Under FOBH’s Constitution, any parent or other person who supports the objects of FOBH can become a member (subject to approval by the trustees) and be able to vote at the AGM.
Financial policies and reserves
FOBH is a small charity. We do not employ any staff, enter into any significant contracts with suppliers, or have any major liabilities. We use our assets to buy equipment, or fund activities, in conjunction with the school in order to support its mission. We do not hold any funds held as a custodian trustee for any other person or organisation.
