## **Friends of Dunraven Trustees Annual Report 24/25**
## **Organisational Details & Structure**
Friends of Dunraven is the Parents Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) of Dunraven School, and "all through" school (age 4-19) in Streatham, South London. Friends of Dunraven organises events and other fundraising activities for school students, parents and carers and staff, aimed both at raising funds for school projects and building our school community.
Friends of Dunraven is a registered charity with the Charity Commission of England & Wales: Charity Registration Number 176465. Its registered address is c/o Dunraven Primary, 94-98 Leigham Court Road, London, SW16 2QB.
## **Governance**
Friends of Dunraven is run on behalf of the membership (all parents, caregivers, staff and pupils at Dunraven School) by a Committee consisting of the Officers (Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) and at least two further representatives elected by the membership, all of whom serve as Trustees of the charity. Trustees for the period 24/25 were:
- Stephanie Charalambous - Chair
- Clare O'Sullivan - Treasurer
- Bisma Adeniyi-Jones
- Meron Berhane
- Harriet Dilley
- Sandie Bourne - resigned August 2025
## **Charitable Aims**
Friends of Dunraven (FOD) has had another busy year in 2024/2025, meeting our organisations’ aims of:
- Developing effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school
- Engaging in activities and provide facilitates and equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
## **Charitable Activities 24/25 & Public Benefit**
In 2024/25, we organised a range of fundraising and social activities. We either funded or took an active role in supporting the school to deliver actions that support the education of our children, including Black History Month, Christmas Panto and Science Day workshops, World Book Day, Year 6 and Year 11 leavers celebrations, Sports Day, gardening, pre-loved uniform at St Christopher’s and funding new games and outdoor play activities. Strong
fundraising activities and a large donation enabled a higher than usual number of donations (£12,000+): £1200+ to support Black History Month events and workshops across primary school;£850 to support a pantomime for all primary school; £2,850 towards new reception building blocks and play materials; £850+ to support Year 6 leavers theatre attendance and leaver events; £500 towards primary science workshops; £1,500 for new primary library stock; £2,500 for outdoor toys and activities, and storage for them; £250 towards the school garden; and, £1000 to support Year 11 students prom.
The Friends of Dunraven Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and considers that this requirement is met through its ongoing activities at Dunraven School, which aid parent engagement in the school, as well as its fundraising for school projects. The committee felt that this range of donations supported all year groups across the primary school in a range of academic, cultural and play activities, and recognised the growing range of fundraising activities in secondary phase.
## Events and Activities
The following events and activities were organised in the 2024/25 academic year:
- New Reception Parents Coffee Morning
- Cookie/Bake Sales and Lolly Sales
- Big Digs in the Secret Garden
- Second-hand Bike Market
- Secondary Music and Dance Show Refreshments
- World Book Day: Costume Swap and Book Sale
- Multicultural Day
- Krispy Kreme Fundraiser
- Legoland Trip
- Summer Fair and Rainbow Raffle Non-Uniform Day
- Quiz Nights
- New Reception and Y7 Families welcome
- Sports Day refreshments and Coffee van
## **Proposed Activities for 25/26**
Innovations during the year 2024/2025 year included the whole-school Quiz Nights, Legoland trip, Sports Day coffee van and the Krispy Kreme Fundraiser. We additionally were successful in securing some commercial sponsorship from Pedder Estate Agents. We will look to repeat the successful elements of these in 25/26 and we hope to continue with our very positive relationship with Galloways Estate agent who sponsored Winter Fair 2025 estate agent boards.
We now have a stronger secondary school WhatsApp distribution list due to three years of active engagement and promotion and efforts of our Secondary Trustee Biz Adeniyi-Jones. Refreshment sales have continued and the first Quiz was particularly profitable. However, a secondary sub-committee was not formed in 24/25. A project for this year!
Friends of Dunraven is dependent on ongoing support from volunteers from across our school community. We are very grateful to everyone who helps - either a little or lot - whether parent or guardian, friend, students and of course staff members. We will aim in
2025/2026 to increase engagement through our new language groups for community members with English as an Additional Language and are seeking to recruit volunteers with specific skills areas. Known skill needs include: social media, website maintenance, musicians/performers, bid writing, account keeping assistance, secondary events organisers.
## **Finances**
Friends of Dunraven have submitted the CC16a Form detailing its financial accounts to the Charity Commission. 2024/2025 was an extremely successful year for the charity, generating £9,000 in fund raising. In addition, we are grateful for cash donations from our community which totalled more than £5,000 in this year, including a very generous donation from a parent’s employer, the AKO Foundation. We also received in-kind donations from Tesco Streatham, M&S Streatham Hill and non-profit food redistribution organisation Critical Support.
This enabled us to make donations to the school and community of more than £12,000 – a significant increase on recent years, while ending the year with additional funds of £2,465.

||**1**. In March 2025, FoD donated £2,000 to support school in the purchase of a screen projector to
support assemblies etc. However further research indicated the proposed screen may not to be
safely movable between the different rooms it was hoped it could be used in. Additionally the
closure of Goldfinch primary had been announced and it was possible that some of its equipment
may be shared amongst other Trust schools. Therefore in June school returned the £2,000
donation to FoD as it could not then be used as envisaged. FoD remains open to future donations
if relevant. Therefore actualsumdonated outin 2024/2025was £12,036.||||||||||

## **Custodian Trustee**
No funds are held via a custodian trustee.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees' policy is to maintain sufficient reserves to cover the costs of one major event (e.g. Summer Fair). In practice, reserves are kept at a level of at least £4,000 and any excess is available to be applied towards the objects of the association. Given inflation and increased cost of living, the sum of £4,000 was reviewed but was felt still to be relevant. Reserves are held in a separate interest paying account enabling clear separation of current funds and reserves.
**Serious Incidents –** no serious incidents occurred during 2024/2025.
