## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 1st Aug 2024 to 31th July 2025** ## **Charity name: Hungarian School Woking** ## **Charity registration number: 1188993** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The aim of the Hungarian School Woking is to
provide Hungarian language and cultural
education to children living in Woking and the
surrounding areas, for the benefit of the wider
community. As a supplementary school, it offers
weekend activities delivered according to a
structured timetable and led by qualified teachers
and dedicated volunteers.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The school year continued to be organised into
two semesters, each consisting of nine sessions.
The programme commenced on 9 September
2024 and was promoted through the School’s
Facebook page as well as several
Hungarian-focused Facebook groups.
The School offers local families regular
opportunities to meet and practise the Hungarian
language at the Church of England Primary
School in Send, Woking. These activities
supported participants’ overall well-being by
fostering a sense of community among families
with shared interests in Hungarian cultural
heritage and folk traditions.
Throughout the year, we organised a range of
cultural and community events, including National
Holiday celebrations (Revolution and
Independence Day), a Christmas event, Carnival,| ||Mother’s Day, Children’s Day, St Nicholas Day,
and various day trips.
The school was pleased to host several guest
contributors during the year. Péter and Viktória
Utasi led engaging Hungarian folk dance
sessions, while Dr Judit Navracsics delivered an
informative lecture for parents on raising bilingual
children. In addition, the HubArt art group
presented an outstanding performance for our
pupils in celebration of International Children’s
Day.
During the 2024–25 academic year, the school
participated in the Hungarian Rákóczi
Association’s Diaspora Programme. Seventeen
students aged 10–15, accompanied by three
teachers, took part in a week-long camp in
Hungary. The programme offers Hungarian
young people living in the diaspora, as well as
educators working within diaspora communities,
the opportunity to participate in an educational
study trip to Hungary.
**The objectives of the programme include:**
●
Introducing participants to the traditions
and built heritage that shape Hungarian
history and culture in the Carpathian
Basin through experiential learning
activities.
●
Encouraging the development of
relationships between Hungarian youth
living in the diaspora and those in the
Carpathian Basin, while strengthening
their sense of Hungarian identity.
●
Supporting the development of
Hungarian language skills with the
guidance of qualified professionals.
●
Strengthening connections between
Hungarians living in the diaspora and the
motherland by fostering new networks
and expanding cooperation across
diaspora communities at a
pan-Hungarian level.
●
Enhancing the effectiveness of
knowledge transfer related to national
identity in the diaspora, while enabling
participants to gain first-hand experience
in Hungary and broaden their intellectual,
cultural, and methodological
understanding.| |---|---| |||●
Inspiring Hungarians living in diaspora
regions to connect with and raise
awareness of their local Hungarian
organisations and associations.
●
Providing professional development
opportunities for teachers working in the
diaspora and strengthening their
professional networks.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Thanks to careful financial planning and
close monitoring of expenditure, the charity
was able to manage increased venue rental
costs and remain financially stable through
the challenging period. Membership fees
covered core expenses, allowing the
organisation to retain a modest reserve at
the end of the 2024–2025 financial year.
In addition, Hungarian School Woking was
awarded £19,734 by The National Lottery
Community Fund as well as 2,000,000 HUF
(cca £4,326) by the Bethlen Gabor Fund to
support the continued growth and wellbeing
of our community.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|We aim to maintain a reserve equivalent to
approximately one year’s venue rental costs,
ensuring that even with a membership of

full year without compromising the quality or

Trustee selection methods

trustees may act only to call a meeting of the
charity trustees, or appoint a new charity
trustee.
The maximum number of charity trustees is
6. The charity trustees may not appoint any
charity trustee if as a result the number of
charity trustees would exceed the maximum.
The first charity trustees of the CIO
are Melinda Gulyas and Marton Hipszki. At
the first annual general meeting of the
members of the CIO all the charity trustees
shall retire from office
At every subsequent annual general meeting
of the members of the CIO, one-third of the
charity trustees shall retire from office. If the
number of charity trustees is not three or a
multiple of three, then the number nearest to
