THE TRUSTEES
The trustees who served the charity during the period were as follows:
Nina Zayat Marie Louise Paiser Tia Muhumed Alexandra Foster
ORGANISATIONAL DETAILS
Ark Byron Primary Association (ABPA) was set up as a charity on 18 September 2018.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
ABPA supports Ark Byron Primary Academy, working with parents and local businesses to arrange events to foster our community and to fundraise, for example fairs, quiz night and bake sales. We use these funds to subsidise enrichment activities for the children at our school and to provide additional equipment.
MEMBERSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Our membership consists of parents and carers involved with the Ark Byron Primary Academy.
The Charity is managed by Trustees who form the Trustee Board. Trustees are elected annually by the members at the Annual General Meeting or are co-opted until the following AGM.
The ABPA Committee is made up of volunteers who are keen to give something extra back to the school community.
Each class has Class Reps (ideally 2 per class) - this role includes keeping parents/carers up to date about activities and getting everyone involved to make our fundraising and events as successful as possible.

Currently these positions are held by: Chair: Tia Muhumed Secretary: Alexandra Foster Treasurers: Marie Paiser & Joanne Cham
BACKGROUND
Ark Byron Primary Academy opened in September 2015 as part of the Ark Schools network. The school is neither selective nor fee paying and welcomes pupils from all backgrounds. As of September 2021, it now has full seven-year groups ranging from Reception to Year 6, and a total of nearly 420 pupils.
In 2018, the school moved into a purpose-built building on the edge of Acton Park and in the same year the charity Ark Byron Primary Association was formed to support the school through fundraising and enrichment projects.
.
A SNAPSHOT OF OUR YEAR
This year has been about building back the community, commitment and support that was lost during the restrictive period of covid. We have maintained some remote events and have largely stuck with cashless payments but have enjoyed bringing the community together again in person.
This year we repeated the success of our previous Winter and Summer Fairs. We also facilitated another Charity Fundraiser in the Albie’s name by offering our platform to sell tickets to a karaoke night organised by the teachers. Funds raised (minus costs) were sent to two charities chosen by Albie’s family that have impacted them hugely while Albie was treated for terminal cancer.
We introduced a hugely successful new fitness based event inviting participants to donate £50 only refundable if they moved for an additional 30 minutes each day for a period of 21 days.
We also set up a new Theatre Fund to ringfence the profit from ticket sales at school productions to purchase props and costumes for the shows.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT
In the coming year we are hoping to raise for some large ticket items for the school to include lighting for our MUGA. We are also hoping to purchase new role play items for Reception and cover the cost of more interactive learning for the children.

GOVERNANCE
Our trustees, chair, secretary, and Treasurers meet monthly, and we hold an AGM at the start of the school year and again in January.
THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS AND FUNDERS
Thank you to all the children, parents and carers for supporting ABPA during the year. Thank you also to our regular donors and to our main event sponsor CityDeal.
GOVERNING DOCUMENT
The Society is governed by its Governing Document which established its objects and powers. In the event of the charity being wound up all assets would revert to the school.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Full details of the charity’s finances are given in the Statement of Financial Affairs.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASETS AND DEPRECIATION
All assets costing more than £1000 are capitalised and valued at historic cost. Depreciation is charged on IT equipment which is written off on a straight-line basis over their estimated life of three years
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees are committed to a fundraising strategy aimed at maintaining the unrestricted reserves to at least three months of core operating costs. We strive to ensure that funds raised are spent promptly by the school to ensure the children and families that raise the money, reap the benefit.
Signed on behalf of the trustees.
