2 ||| |---|---| |Charity Commission on public
benefit|Social and fundraising events have been open to all members of the
school community, and in some cases the wider local community.
Expenditure of funds has been for the benefit of pupils at the school.
There has been no personal benefit to the trustees.| |Contribution made by volunteers|Friends of Belham is entirely reliant on the contribution of volunteers,
mostly parents and carers of children at the school. All the trustees are
volunteers. Class representatives volunteer their time to help coordinate
communication and activities in their respective classes, and often
attend and contribute to committee meetings.
Many volunteers help with the running of events.| 3 ## Achievements and Performance |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.|| |---|---| ||The social events held by Friends of Belham have enhanced the school
community, giving parents, carers, pupils and their siblings a chance to
meet and socialise. Activities also promote social good, for example
through the organisation of the Fun Run promoting sport and healthy
exercise, or the organisation of second-hand uniform sales, promoting
sustainability in the community. Events also promote local
volunteerism, with numerous parent volunteers involved across the
year at various events.
School Fairs held in summer and winter and the outdoor cinema are
also open to the wider local community, offering a chance for them to
engage with and support the school.
Spending of funds has gone towards advancing the education of the
pupils through the enhancement of the school environment, facilities
and the experience of all pupils.
The charity has also aimed to define and promote its values through its
ethical policy. This is shared on the school website. Ethical values are
promoted in all aspects of fundraising activities. This year, this included
an emphasis on environmental protection through organisation of
multiple second-hand uniform sales. This year, 81% of the charity’s
commercial expenditure was with local or independent businesses, a 5
percentage point (pp) improvement on the previous financial year and a
12pp improvement on 2021/22.
An emphasis has been made on ensuring events are accessible to low-
income families by keeping entry fees low or zero for most events, with
the option to donate. The charity also pays for leavers’ hoodies and
yearbooks for pupil premium families and subsidises the Y6 leavers’
prom.| ||| |---|---| |Financial Review|| |Review of the charity’s financial
