## **Report**
2025 saw a significant increase in the total raised by FCH compared to the last financial year, due to a lot of hard work by the committee. This year, seeing a profit of nearly £20,000 raised from some ever-popular events and some new endeavours!
The fundraising kicked off with a busy first term of the year, with FCH putting on the **Back-to-school disco** , and a profitable new idea, the **Book Quest** . We continued enthusiastically with the KS1 and KS2 portrait **Tea Towels** . We finished 2024 with the **Christmas tea party,** refreshments at the school **Christmas performances** and a hugely successful **Santa’s Brunch & Lunch** . All this frantic activity, along with the steady income of the **Your School Lottery** saw the fundraising off to an excellent start!
After a well-earned break for Christmas the Spring term kicked off with the (slightly stressful!!) **Valentine Disco** followed by an exciting **Bingo & Quiz night.** We also held an **Easter Chocolatedecorating event** and **Mother’s Day Tea Party** , which all made significant contributions to the fundraising.
Then came the Summer Term; **selling refreshments at Sports Day** , **The Leavers Disco** and the _**record breaking**_ **Summer Fair** - with this one event alone raising a profit of nearly £9,000.
With regular **Uniform Sales,** we managed to raise over £300 from donated pre-loved uniform this year, which is a massive increase on past years. Also, a push on **EasyFundraising** saw the income more than triple compared to last year! Thanks to all the **Your School Lottery** supporters, the fundraising total was topped up by nearly £1,900 in total for the year.
## **Other Income**
The Gift Aid total (£106.86) for 2025 is gained from Book Quest cash donations and the Summer Fair bucket collection. Gift Aid claimed on Book Quest donations paid via Just Giving are included in the Book Quest total.
The fundraising total had a significant boost this year (£1439.69) without any work from the committee. Namely from a £500 grant from the Wates Family Enterprise Trust and £853.51 from the Asda cash pot for Schools campaign.
There is also a small amount of **Other Income** earnt as interest on our bank accounts (£86.18).
I have enjoyed my first year as FCH Treasurer and would be happy to continue for this coming year. Hopefully we can continue with some fantastic events for the school children and our supporters (the wonderful parents/carers and school community) so that the children can benefit from all the money they help us raise.
I’d like to thank everyone who’s served on FCH this year, but particularly Nik and Eve who have both worked so incredibly hard, which shows in the amazing amount we have raised for the school. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes and NONE of these events would have happened without them. They have also shown me great support in my new role, which I am extremely thankful for.
