## **Structure, governance and management**
Middle Street School Fund (MSS Fund) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by a constitution based on the Charity Commission’s ‘Foundation’ model constitution. The constitution was approved by the initial set of trustees of the charity on 5[th] December 2017 and then the charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 18[th] December 2017.
The most notable change from the model constitution is in section 10.(2) which specifies how the Governing Board of Middle Street School may appoint five charity trustees. This is the only formal link between the CIO and the school. Trustees can also be appointed by the existing trustees of the CIO.
Although the constitution does not require this, the trustees have adopted the convention of appointing a Chair and a Treasurer.
As the charity is currently very small and simple in its operations and is not delivering any services directly to any children or parents or carers, therefore no additional policies or procedures have been adopted by the CIO.

## **Objectives and activities**
The objects of the CIO as laid out in its constitution are:
The object of the CIO shall be to advance the education of the pupils at Middle Street School by providing or assisting in the provision of educational, recreational, sporting and other charitable services, equipment or facilities in augmentation of such services, equipment and facilities financed by the Local Education Authority or the Department of Education and Employment (DFEE).
In order to meet these objectives the focus of the CIO is to raise funds which can then be donated to Middle Street School in order that the school can directly deliver the services to the children at the school. The CIO does not deliver services directly to children.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns that started in the UK at the end of March 2020, the charity did not undertake many activities during this reporting year. In particular, it was felt many families would have other priorities during this complex year and so no letters or donation cards were sent out to parents and carers over this year.
In this context the main activities were:
- To continued to collect donations via the standing orders that parents and carers had already set up.
- Disbursed £18,500 to Middle Street School to support the funding of the ECaR role.
- Agreed to and disbursed £10,000 from the MSS Fund to the school to support the purchase of laptops to enable online learning, both for pupils who were going into school during the lockdown and for pupils in families without sufficient IT equipment to access the learning material from home.
These activities were undertaken with due regard by the trustees to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
## **Achievements and performance**
During this year the charity had the following notable achievements:
- By the year end 18 standing orders had been set up that together made a total monthly contribution of £550 to the MSS Fund. (This is a slight decrease from last year when we had 20 SO for a total of £610 per month)
- The yearly total from such standing orders was: **£6,940**
- The total of one-off donations was: **£40**
- The total raised through the JustGiving website was: **£0**

## **Financial Review**
MSS Fund prepares its accounts as receipts and payments accounts in line with the Charity Commission guidance _Charity reporting and accounting: the essentials November 2016 (CC15d)._ The accounts are prepared as a separate document to this report using the template from the Charity Commission called _Template for Receipts and Payments Accounts - CC16a_-_revisions_190417.xls_ .
The MSS Fund set up its bank account with Metro Bank in January 2018.
One issue that MSS Fund has continued to have to deal with during the year was that a number of erroneous Direct Debits were set up against the Metro Bank that were not created by anyone from the charity. In this year there were three erroneous direct debits, totally £1509.87. However, all of these were
immediately reimbursed so there was no net outflow from the charity as a result of these false direct debits. There have been no further erroneous direct debits since 2[nd] April 2020.
On 5[th] December 2020 the bank account of MSS Fund held £643.00 cash.
MSS Fund does not have a policy on holding reserves as it currently does not have any ongoing expenses.
