Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its governing
document
Summary of the main activities
undertaken for the public
benefit in relation to these
objects (include within this
section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit)		 The purpose (‘objects’) of the association is to advance the education of
all pupils in the school in particular by:
a)
Raising funds for school enrichment activities, ensuring an equal
experience for all children, including those who are disadvantaged.
b)
Celebrating and promoting our diverse school community to
create a friendly, inclusive environment
c)
Providing extra opportunities to have fun at school
d)
Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and
others associated with the school
Belmont Families exists to support both Belmont Infant School and
Belmont Junior School equally.
Fundraising
A total of£43,189was raised through events and donations during this
financial year. The events included Pyjama Day, a cake and toy sale, the
Kids’ Art Printing Project, a Winter Fair, a Christmas online pop-up shop,
a wreath making workshop, three Ice Skating Discos, a cake and book
sale, Crazy Hair Day, ice-cream and snack sales and a Summer Fair.
Laurence Cummings, headteacher of the Junior School raised a large
amount of money by cycling the length of the country and we were very
fortunate to be signed up to the Netflix match funding scheme by a
parent. Our funds were also boosted through the easyfundraising.com
scheme and Gift Aid.
Celebrating and promoting diversity
When planning our events, we have tried to make sure that they are
inclusive and appealing to a wide range of children and parents. We
decided to have a Winter Fair as opposed to a Christmas Fair in order to
appeal to families of all faiths and none. At our events we decided not to
serve alcohol (so as to not exclude some families) and to make sure
there was plenty of vegetarian, vegan and Halal food. Our Summer Fair
poster was designed to celebrate the diversity of backgrounds our
children come from.
Opportunities to have fun at school
Pyjama Day and Crazy Hair Day were back by popular demand this year!
We were very grateful to both schools for hosting the Winter and Summer
Fairs at the weekend which enabled the whole school community to get
together on familiar territory. The money which we have raised will go a
long way to pay for fun activities at school from artist visits to pantomimes.
It will mean that the children can go on school trips and that these are
enhanced by extra special activities like sailing and pony trekking.
Developing effective relationships
Belmont Families have set up and frequently use WhatsApp groups for
each class or year group. This helps to communicate what events are
taking place and allows parents to interact with each other. We are
grateful to the school office staff who have helped us send out
communications to parents via email. Staff have helped out at the Winter
and Summer Fairs and good relationships between the Headteachers
and the Committee have continued.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Fundraising

We have had an extremely busy and successful year. We were delighted to be able to return to in-person events and have made the most of all the opportunities. We have tried to add extra activities into traditional events to maximise the fundraising potential of each event. For example, we have held cake sales with additional elements like toy or book sales and a chocolate egg tombola to raise more money and make the events extra fun.
