Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	Rokesly’s PSA’s objectives are to advance the education of pupils in the school (being Rokesly Infant & Nursery School and Rokesly Junior School) and to help promote an inclusive community, in particular by: ● Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents/carers and others associated with the school. ● Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance **the education of pupils. **
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We held a full calendar of events in what was a busy and successful year for the PSA. Each event was organised by the PSA committee, class representatives and parent/carer volunteers at the school. The meetings and fundraising events held include the following- ● A mixture of PSA coffee mornings and evening meetings to keep parents, carers and staff updated on PSA activities and approve the school’s funding requests. Head teachers had time on the agenda at all meetings. ● The AGM was held online in November 2024 and was well attended. ● We held many events throughout the school year such as cake sales, discos, quiz, raffle, readathon and outdoor cinema.

		● The Readathon was especially successful this year raising £4.6k, reaching the whole school for participation. ● We also held our three biggest fundraising events which were all hugely successful. The festive fair raised £5.3k, the auction raised £10.8k and the summer fair raised £11.5k. We are hugely grateful to the committed and hardworking groups of parents/carers who took on the task of organising and running these events. They are vital, not only for fundraising, but also for building community and engagement within the school. ● We ran two new events this year: a (pre-loved) Halloween Costume Sale which generated £360 and a Festive Wreath Making Evening which generated £650 both important community building events appealing to different audiences. ● We also sold Rokesly branded merchandise and festive puddings online. Launching Rokesly Pre-Loved Merch at the Summer Fair 2025 which was a great sustainable community initiative with minimal fundraising. ● We continue to promote workplace giving schemes and corporate sponsorship as alternative funding options.

Contribution made by volunteers	Para 1.38	Rokesly PSA aims to be an inclusive parent staff association. Responsibility for organising fundraising events is spread across the year groups. The aim of this approach is to promote a sense of collective responsibility and to avoid too great a burden being placed on a small group of individuals. It also assists Succession Planning when members of the wider community understand the systems in place. The Rokesly PSA operates a network of class representatives to assist in communication with parents and the coordination of volunteers. This is also an excellent way for the community to feedback.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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.	Para 1.20	It was an extremely busy year, with a full calendar of events. The PSA committee worked hard to organise and run the events and this should be celebrated and recognised. Not only did we raise a fantastic amount, meaning we were able to agree to all of the fundraising requests received from the school, but we were also able to come together as a community to socialise and build connections. The children loved being able to attend all of the events and create memories having fun with their school friends. We trialled two new initiatives with sustainability at the heart - the pre-loved Rokesly Merchandise and the (pre-loved) Halloween Costume Sale. The pre-loved Merch and Halloween Costumes were sourced from the community. These were significant team efforts to benefit the children offering good value, great quality Rokesly Merch and Halloween costumes. Our bank balance is looking healthy and we are in a good position to fund further projects going forward. Our continued engagement with the local community is an achievement. We have been supported wonderfully with

sponsorship, raffle prizes, donations and stalls at our fairs.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Our financial position is good, with a surplus in the account which can be used to support further projects and fundraising requests from the school.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to 60% of one year’s expected ‘normal’ funding requests and ‘charity running costs’ to allow the charity to continue supporting its objectives if donations were to be reduced. The trustees review on a termly basis the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfill our continuing obligations and to make sure the funds are fairly distributed between the schools.
