We continued to emphasise the school and local community in our fund-raising at school events and in the running of three car boot sales which were very well received by those who attended. The biggest expense this year was the donation of £5,300 raised in summer 2022 to support the curriculum enrichment school trips for years 7-9 which took place in July 2022. Once again, Mary-Anne Course was amazingly effective in securing grant funding through the Co-op, Devon Safer Community Trust and the Norman Family Grant. This money together with funds from the car boot sales, raffles and other fund-raisers was used primarily to support young carers in the school community, to provide Christmas boxes to families experiencing hardship, to re-equip the Food Technology classrooms, and to top-up the daily meal allowance for pupil premium children in order to allow them to buy a snack at first break as well as a full, hot meal at lunchtime (which is not possible with the standard allowance). ## **Additional commentary on expenditure & income** ## **Curriculum Enrichment Trip Support** The proceeds from the folk concert held in April 2022 and the Summer 2022 raffle, together with a proportion of the existing cash balance, totalling £5,300 was presented to school in the Autumn Term 2022. This money was allocated to support the curriculum enrichment trips in July 2022. ## **Ten Tors Fund-raising Trek** Funds raised by the charity Ten Tors Trek of Spring 2022 were donated to the school to enable the purchase of new equipment for use in the 2023 challenge. ## **Staff Resources Requests** This year these comprised supporting the purchase of new equipment for the Food Technology classrooms, and funding to enable Mrs Hammond to attend a training course to help with her well-being work with students. This was funded from a donation made by a parent who had specifically requested the funds to be used for the benefit of students’ mental health and wellbeing. ## **Ashburton Food Festival Park & Ride Service** We again provided the Park & Ride Service for the annual Ashburton Food Festival in September 2022, this raised £274.00. ## **Support for young carers, families suffering from hardship and pupil premium students** The other major areas of expenditure were in supporting young carers through a variety of social activities, providing resources to help stock the Christmas Sparkle appeal boxes for families facing hardship, and using the Co-op funds (and other FOSDA funds which could be spared) to top up the daily school dinner allowance for pupil premium children enabling them to have a snack as well as a hot, main meal each day. |||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**Friends of South Dartmoor Association, FOSDA**|||||**No (ifany)**||**CC16a**| ||**Charity Registration: 1183395**|||||||| ||**Receipts andpayments accounts**|||||||| ||**For the period**
