SUNNINGDALE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT FUND
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (published October 2019).
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are restricted to the advancement of education of the pupils at Sunningdale School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the school and for the public benefit to promote the education of boys (under the age of 14 years) in the UK, in such ways as the charity trustees see fit, including by awarding to such persons, scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Achievements and performance
During the period the charity collected a significant number of donations which enabled it to fund the continued development and building of new facilities at the Sunningdale School, the main item being a new tennis court. This project was near completion as at the year-end.
Financial review
Donations were received during the period totalling £116,914, with expenditure incurred of £166,960. The majority of this expenditure was relating to the ongoing development of the new tennis court facilities at the school, including associated professional fees (£164,910 of such costs). This means a deficit has arisen for the period of £50,046.
On registration of the charity on 2 April 2020 it had funds introduced of £38,624. This means that with the deficit made in the period, the charity was in a deficit position of £11,422 as at the year-end. Further donations have been received since the year-end to improve this position.
Given the nature of the charity the Trustees do not consider it necessary to hold a minimum reserves level or have a set reserves policy. Donations received are spent on the provision of facilities at the school. Any shortfall in funding would be required to be covered by the school itself.
The Trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for the future
The charity will continue with its fundraising efforts to maximise the receipts of donations which can then be spent on the continual development of facilities at Sunningdale school. It will also consider the awarding of scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants to such persons as the Trustees deem necessary, as and when funds allow.
