OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the Association are:
-
to advance the education of pupils at Newland House School in particular by:
-
1) developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school
-
2) engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils
During the year, the Association was again constrained by limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with restrictions lifted in time for the autumn term, the annual Fireworks display and the Christmas Fair were held. The school second-hand shop was in operation for much of the year and contributed substantially to the income of the charity. In addition, the selling of Christmas Trees and the Christmas card project contributed to the fundraising and capped off a successful year.
RISK POLICY
The Trustees annually review any risks to the Charity and have taken the necessary measures to mitigate any possible risks.
RESERVES POLICY
The Association has no operational costs or outgoings other than those associated with events and purchasing small amounts of branded stock for the on-site school uniform shop. Events are planned only if they can raise funds and therefore the need to hold reserves is limited. The trustees plan to review the reserve policy annually in case there is a change to the current cash-flow structure.
DONATIONS POLICY
It was agreed at the inaugural meeting of the Association in its current form that all funds raised from charitable activities would be split equally between charitable donations and funding projects for the school to the benefi ����������������������������� . Criteria for charitable donations have also been agreed.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Financial Year to 31 December 2021 started quietly, in the wake of the ongoing Covid19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions. Whilst the lockdown eased during the summer term, social distancing regulations prevented any events being held until September.
The first event we were able to hold was the Fireworks night, which once again proved to be a huge success and very popular, with profits of £2575. This was an increase on previous years, largely as excess glow toys from 2019 were sold out on the night. Bar, tuck shop and BBQ sales were consistent with previous years.
The Christmas Fair once again brought the community together with a wide array of stalls and activities for children and adults, spread out around the entire school site. Once again, the event was extremely popular and successful, with a total profit of £4448, an increase of nearly £2000 on 2019. Thanks to the team for their hard work and all the parents for their attendance and kind generosity to make the event such a success. In addition, Christmas foods were collected at the Fair for the food bank run by one of our charities of the year, RUILS.

Other Christmas initiatives provided additional income, with the sale of Christmas Trees making £831, slightly down on last year, and the Christmas card art project raising £1316, a small increase on last year. Thanks again to the parents who organised these projects and helped in deliveries.
Income from the School shop rose substantially this year after the decision was made not to return any sales income to the donor of the items, in line with most school second-hand shops. Not only has this made the organisation of the school shop less complicated, but it has also meant profit more than doubled to £5231 this financial year.
Online fundraising initiatives, including easyfundraising.com and Amazon Smile, have continued to generate some income for the Association, £401 this financial year. Donations are limited to a relatively small number of parents, and we would like to increase this in the coming years.
Expenditure largely focused on purchases for the school. The investment of £6000 into the new nursery climbing frame was the largest one-off expense and has proved to be a huge hit with the youngest in our school community. Both nursery school and pre-prep were thrilled once again with the reindeer visit (£828) whilst all year groups benefitted from the author visit during World Book week (£540). The Association also supported the older children with the trip to Lullingstone, a cookery course and the Y6 disco. Donations to the two Charities chosen by the Association for this academic year, RUILS and ADHD Embrace, total £1964 each.
As a fully volunteer led organisation, overheads remain very low, limited to annual subscriptions to Parentkind, which provides insurance and advice, and PlanSocial, the events allocations and sales online system.
As a result, the Association finishes the Financial Year for FY21 at a surplus of £734, and with net assets of £24,370.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
With Covid-19 restrictions likely to ease further, the Trustees are optimistic that our usual events will be able to go ahead in 2022. The school ball has already been booked and tickets sold, and we are hoping this event will be our key fundraiser this year. Plans for our usual events, namely the Summer Fair, Quiz, Fireworks and Christmas Fair will be made as we go through the year. We are hopeful that the second-hand shop continues to provide the Association with a substantial and consistent portion of its income, and we aim to increase the number of parents signed up to the online initiatives, Amazon Smile and Easyfundraising. With a healthy balance, the Association remains positive that it can continue to further its charitable objectives of supporting the education of the pupils at Newland House School whilst supporting local charities.
