## **St. Gabriel’s Parent Teacher Association** ## **Trustees Report & Accounts** **Year ending 31 August 2025** ## **Charity Number: 1180465** St Gabriel’s Parent Teacher Association 1 ## **Trustees’ Annual Report** The Trustees of St. Gabriel’s Parent Teacher Association (SGPTA) present their annual report and independently reviewed accounts for the year ending 31 August 2025. ## **Objectives and Activities** The charity exists to support and supplement St Gabriel’s school in the provision of a quality learning environment for pupils. To meet our charitable objectives the SGPTA - Undertakes a number of school-community based fundraising activities throughout the year to generate income; - Operates a second-hand uniform shop, which allows parents to recycle outgrown items of school uniform and purchase uniform at reduced prices. Profits generated from this activity contribute to the SGPTA general funds; - Through consultation with the school, uses the funds raised to provide “icing on the cake” facilities and equipment for pupils at the school; - Keeps parents informed about what the activities of the Association and how the funds are utilised; and - Aids parental and school community networking by organising social events for parents and pupils that aim to both raise funds for the SGPTA and promote a harmonious school environment. The Trustees confirm that the SGPTA is run in accordance with the charitable objectives of the Association and Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. ## **Achievements and Performance** The SGPTA conducted the following events and activities to raise funds and support its aims: - Opened the second-hand uniform shop one afternoon a week during term time; - Hosted an annual Fireworks and Bonfire night for the benefit of both the St Gabriels’ community, family & friends; - Hosted a quiz night; - Hosted a Christmas wreath making evening; - Hosted a Jewellery making workshop; - Supported a junior school disco; - Facilitated the collection of unwanted clothes and textiles for “Bags 2 School”; - Organised an Easter Egg Hunt for the nursery; - Encouraged parents to join Easy Fundraising and earn the Association funds from their shopping activities; and - Put on the Summer Bash. St Gabriel’s Parent Teacher Association 2 ## **Achievements and Performance (continued)** The SGPTA was unfortunately not the recipient of any donations from Vodafone’s matched funding initiative this year but is working to regain this facility for next year. The SGPTA approved the use of funds by St Gabriel’s school to purchase: - Y6 leavers books - Additional band member for the big bash - 2 x benches for the Junior school - Paddleboards & supporting equipment and storage - Sister act Drama performance ## **Use of Volunteers** The SGPTA relies on the use of volunteers to run its events. Each event is assigned a project manager/event host who is responsible for the organisation of the event and the smooth running on the day. The project manager/event host will then request any additional volunteers as required for the event. The project manager/event host will ensure that the correct training / certification is in place for themselves or any volunteers such as: child protection and food preparation. ## **Financial Review** The SGPTA financial year runs to the 31[st of] August 2025. The independently inspected accounts are appended to this report. Total income received for the year was £36,413. Our total expenditure was £31,805, giving rise to a net profit of £4,608. Our Net Assets on 31[st] August 2025 were £31,365 comprising predominately cash at bank. None of our funds are restricted.
