A total of**£38,384**was raised through events and donations during this
financial year. The events included a quiz, a cake and craft sale, wreath
making workshops, a disco, an easter egg design competition, wacky
hair day, a food festival and car boot sale, a valentines promise auction,
a football tournament, treat Friday sales, and the Summer Fair. Our
funds were also boosted through the easyfundraising.com scheme, one
off donations from parents and a corporate work fundraising scheme.
Parents have the option to ‘sponsor’ a ticket at the disco and football
tournaments enabling us to provide free tickets to those families who
cannot afford it. We ensure ticket, games and refreshment prices at all
our events are fair and not over inflated to ensure they are accessible to
the majority.
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. PAt
events with children in attendance, we do not serve alcohol (so as to not
exclude some families). We ensure there are vegetarian, vegan and
Halal options available when catering for events. Our Summer Fair
poster was designed to celebrate the diversity of backgrounds our
children come from. Our International food festival enabled parents and
the local community to showcase food from their cultures. Our football
tournament included a particular focus on girls this year, with a girls only
match, as well as mixed gender teams.
Opportunities to have fun at school
Events such as the disco, wacky hair day and the football tournament are
increasing in popularity year after year as they give the children a chance
to take part in something during the school week that is primarily focussed
on the children to have fun. The money raised enables the school to fund
fun and educational enrichment activities such as artist visits, pantomimes
and residential school trips. All of these things lead to enjoyment at school
and increase a sense of belonging.
Developing effective relationships
Belmont Families have set up WhatsApp groups for each class and each
has a dedicated class rep. This helps to promote events and also builds
a sense of community. There are 440 members of the parent community| 3 Charity Reg.No.1187712 Belmont Families, Rusper Road, N22 6RA in the groups. We have a member of the Senior Leadership Team on the Belmont Families Committee which helps strengthen our already good relationship with school staff. Many staff members attended the social quiz and supported us at various events throughout the year. We are particularly grateful to the school office and site staff who have helped us this year. Statutory declaration The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Association’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. All trustees give of their time freely and no benefit including remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; We are grateful for the many hours volunteers spent organising events and helping with the running of the charity.
