With due regard for the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance and in line with our objectives, FOGS has run a wide range of events both to fundraise towards the schools “wish list” and to provide social opportunities for the pupils, parents, staff and wider school community. These include events such as our Summer and Christmas fair, breakfast mornings, children’s discos. The committee also welcomes suggestions from the membership and organised one-off fundraising initiatives.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
All activities are planned by the committee, drawing on volunteers from the parent membership, school staff and wider community, as appropriate, having regard to safeguarding and risk assessments. The committee is very grateful for the time, expertise and donations given by all involved, without whom FOGS would not be able to achieve so much.
The work of FOGS enables the advancement of pupil’s education by giving money to the school to purchase equipment, resources and other items it would otherwise not be able to afford.
## **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;
- contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
FOGS have had a very successful year of fundraising and building on a strong supportive school community. We have managed to deliver fun, inclusive events for the children and wider community which have been welcomed by all. In this financial year we have supported school with £16,000 worth of resources, enhancing children’s education. In addition we have also secured £15,000 grant from Severn Trent Ltd to overhaul the play provision and currently working on delivering a new OPAL (outside learn and play) program. This will enhance children’s daily play for years to come and will embed the importance of learning through inclusive, imaginative play.
