them:

Rlsk
Management

designate, to work with the existing chair forthat period.
The current Chairwill draw up a summary of the role of Chair.
Loss of Chair
Loss of trustees
The Boardwillcontinuepublicityin DuntonGreen aboutits activities
and the need for trustees. They will also Gonsider other ways to
promots the need fortrustees and invite anyone they identify as a
likely candidate to apply to be a tsustee.
Competition with the
School PTA
EIF will maintain good communications wilh Ihe PTA (DG Team)
committee to ensure that publicity and events for the 2
organ isations do not clash or, if working together. their diffe￿nI
roles are clear to the public.
Lack of demand for
grants
The trustees plan to discusswith the relevant School staff how its
charitable Purpose can best be fu If illed to ensure ch ildren al the
school in financial need Gan make use of EIF funds for their
education and the Board will review Ihe EIF Grant Making policy in
the light of those discussions.
7. Thanks
The EIF trustses would like to Ihank..
Dunton Green Primary School staff fortheirsupportanden(x)uragementthroughoutlheyear
Team DG (the School Parent Teacher Association) for offering us Spa￿ al their Summer
Fair
Dunton Green Pafish Council forincluding artides aboutEiF in theirmagazine and allowing
us to collect donations atthe Fireworf(s Display, and
Sevenoaks District Council forspace at the Family Fun Day in Dunton Green.
8. Flnance
Since May 2025 the Chair has overseen the day to day rnanagemenl of finances following
guidancefrom the firatTreasurer. Whilethe Chaircontinuesto be an authorised person on the
SanL9nderbank accountforEiF, 2 otherlrustees, Rebecca Meaton and James Copeland, were
nominated and approved to have access and make payments on behalf of EIF by following the
EIF Financial policy.

Gift Aid was not applied for this year and will be an initial task for a new treasurer. There has
been justone individual donab'on this year.
Fundralsing
Whilethere were costs forthe promotional materials, game and prizes this year, almost £59.00
was raised aftercosts at the School SummerFair and Family Fun Daywhich is more than twice
the amount raised in previous years.
The Parish Council have informed us that they will be giving EIF donations made al the Village
Firework Display in September 2025 which will be shown in nextyearfs accounts.
An a¢¢ountwas set up with Sumup forth8 EIF card reader which facilitated laking paymentat
the Family Fun Day and is thoughtto accountfor some of the inGrea5e in fundraising as the
public generally seem to prefer paying by card rather than cash.

granls forchildr8n at Dunton Green School and has suffKientfunds in thaaccountsforthis
any other unforeseen circumstanc8s. For the coming financial year, 1st November 2025 unl'l
