## **Charity Details** - **Official Name:** Aldersbrook Primary School Parent Teacher Association - **Registration Number:** 1187157 (Registered on 30 December 2019) - **Official Address:** Aldersbrook Primary School, Harpenden Road, Wanstead, London, E12 5HL - **Organizational Structure:** Unincorporated association run entirely by volunteers. It is governed by a standard PTA constitution. - **Current Trustees (12 on record):** - Noel Anderson (Chair) - Katherine Louise Brown - Mart Peers - Nathalie Priem - Louise Herington - Jenny Morrissey - Rachele James - Catheryne Hill - Caroline Hunt - Jane Skelding - Aldona Milek-Bhirangi - Victoria Adcock ## **Aims and Objectives** The core purpose of the association is to advance the education of pupils at Aldersbrook Primary School. It focuses on two main pathways to achieve this: 1. **Relationship Building:** Developing close, effective communication and community spirit between school staff, parents, and the wider local community. 2. **Resource Support:** Engaging in fundraising activities, community events, and directly providing facilities or equipment that enrich the school environment and support student learning. ## **Achievements and Performance** During the financial year, the association coordinated community-building initiatives and fundraising campaigns powered by its network of **30 active volunteers** . Key areas of success traditionally include seasonal fairs, school discos, uniform sales, and community events. These efforts directly fund learning resources, playground enhancements, and educational workshops that fall outside the standard school budget. ## **Public Benefit Statement** In accordance with the Charities Act, the trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to guide the charity's activities for the public benefit. The association delivers public benefit by directly supporting a state-funded primary school, ensuring that all funds raised are used to enhance the education, well-being, and development of the children attending the school, free of charge to the families. ## **Financial Review** _(Based on the latest filed financial history for the year ending 31 August 2025)_ - **Total Income:** £61,626 - **Total Expenditure:** £63,682 - **Remuneration:** £0 (all trustees and committee members serve on a purely voluntary basis with zero employee benefits or trading subsidiaries) - **Reserves Policy:** The charity maintains a rolling reserve of working capital to cover advance deposits for major community events (such as summer/winter fairs) and to ensure they can meet short-term funding commitments made to school departments without running into debt. ## **Risk Management** The trustees maintain oversight of a standard risk log focusing on three main areas: - **Financial Control:** Dual-signatory requirements on banking transactions and regular financial reporting to prevent fraud or misallocation of school community funds. - **Event Safety:** Conducting thorough risk assessments and securing appropriate public liability insurance for all PTA-run community events, stalls, and activities on school grounds. - **Volunteer Continuity:** Ensuring overlapping terms and clear handover documentation during trustee transitions so that essential fundraising knowledge and school partnerships are preserved. ## **Financial Report** ## **Aldersbrook Primary School Parent Teacher Association For the year ended 31 August 2025** ## **Accrual Basis** |**Financial Report**
