It is managed by a Committee of Trustees with some specific roles - a Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and ordinary members, who are all Trustees of the charity. Elections to these positions are held at the Annual General Meeting, and ordinary Committee Members can be co-opted at other times. ## Report on the year Our main objective for this financial year was to raise money through fundraising activities, to be able to contribute to the purchase of various items for school chosen by Year Leaders and Senior Leadership Team.

**-£23,985.91**| |---|---| In the year 2024-2025 the donations of £48,332.61 paid out mainly went to a new school minibus (cost £41,681.07), a contribution towards new school iPads, the Y6 Leavers Book and celebrations, supporting sports day with medals and trophies, new gazebos and a number of other specific items or events that we believe help the school support and nurture the children alongside their mainstream education. At the end of the year, we are still holding funds of £29,953.65 of which the majority (around £20,000) is currently planned to be saved for the building of new music cabins in the coming years. There is a further £9,953.65 unassigned which we intend to keep to cover our own running costs, use for the purchase of new tennis rackets and distribute in smaller donations according to the schools wishlist during the 2025-2026 year. ## Looking forward / strategic plans The achievements of Friends of BPSP continue unabated following the re-election of some trustees and new appointments to the Committee during the financial year. We are this year looking to further our number of active committee members. We intend to undertake the same successful events as well as trial some new formats and continue contributing valuable time and resources to meet the children’s needs. For the coming years, we are envisaging saving parts of our donations for funding a major project to create new music cabins for the pupils. **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** ## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report** **Report to the trustees/** Charity Name FRIENDS of BPSP **members of** **On accounts for the year** 30 SEP 2025 **ended Set out on pages** **Charity no** 1183473 **(if any)** 3 pages in total(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. ## It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 1 **December 2017** **IER** **Independent examiner's statement** - In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. - _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ **Date:** 29 JAN 2026 **Signed: Name:** DAVID MANN **Relevant professional** COMPANY DIRECTOR (FINANCE) **qualification(s) or body** QUALIFIED ACCOUNTANT **(if any): Address:** 65 SHERWOOD AVENUE, POOLE, DORSET. BH14 8DJ ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). 2 **December 2017** **IER** **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . In the year the Charity used Microsoft Excel to keep a full log of all income and expenditure records alongside paper files and various emails with information and approvals included. There is/was no accountancy software used. The audit focus was the 2024/2025 transactions for accuracy including a review of income and expenditure, particularly the larger items. The trustees and chair of trustees at the start of the period were the same from the previous period. The audit reviewed the bank balances at 01 October 2024 and 30 September 2025 which showed there are two bank accounts held with HSBC, one "Community Account" number 61779028 and a second called "Business Money Manager" number 40006386. Account 61779028 is used as the current account and account 40006386 is an interest earning deposit account. The balances at 01 October 2024 the start of the period for the charity's annual accounts were £1,762.02 and £52,177.54 = £53,939.56 funds available to Friends of BPSP The balances at 30 September 2025 the end of the period for the charity's annual accounts are £1,807.73 and £28,145.92 = £29,953.65 funds available to Friends of BPSP and attached to this report are pdf copies of the bank statements. The accounts spreadsheet states £29,953.65 bank balance which is correct. The funds available don’t appear to be earmarked for allocation to a specific grant or award, but I understand there are some ongoing discussions about some potential new music cabins which could cost c. £20,000. The net income / profit for the year from the spreadsheet states £-23,985.91 (i.e. a loss which represents more grants/awards paid than income received in the year) which is listed out in excellent detail with every transaction listed as a receipt or payment, the decrease in funds in the bank account for the same period totals £23,985.91 which is a difference of £0 A review was undertaken of payments made on the accounts spreadsheet and in the bank account, these are all clearly listed and most relate to the BPSP Summer Fair or contributions made to the BPSP school. During the year there were grants/awards made of £48,332.61 which was mainly made up of the 50% contribution to two brand new school minibuses of £41,681.07 which had been delayed from previous years _._ There were some minor payments made to trustees during the period which were reimbursement of expenses/costs paid direct for various events and they are small in nature (<£150) with emails / receipts kept in the files for transparency. No trustee received any remuneration for services provided to the charity during this or any period. The charity does not have a bank card for expenses and all online bank payments are restricted to £1,000 per transaction. I am confident suitable and transparent records are being kept and management of income, expenditure and any assets continues through the current period of 2025/2026 and will be demonstrated in the monitoring and preparation of the accounts for September 2026.
