Treasurer’s Report prepared for Annual General Meeting
Prepared 05/09/2025 by Rachel Johns
Attached is a copy of the Summary of Accounts for the FOM. This details all the events and expenditure. This year the FOM has raised over £10708.47 by our Year End. Well done everyone !
The biggest single fundraiser of the year continues to be the discos. They made an annual profit of £5850.72
(This is excluding the Taylor Swift which made just £117.23. Possibly from exuberant ordering ! But also feedback was that boys felt excluded and therefore the turnout wasn’t as high as a standard disco)
Last year’s profit for all 3 discos was £3521, so we will comfortably smash that !
Although Green T-Shirts sales continue to grow, it is felt that these sales should move back to just within the school’s control as profit for the FOM is minimal (to keep costs down for parents and day to day running, between FOM and Office would be far easier from one place. As these are a pupil premium supported item, this further supports our reasoning to keep this a school item.
Circus profit (instead of Fireworks) was £1885.56. Significantly higher than the last fireworks we ran (2023) Fireworks previous profit was just £430.
Other funding agreed to during the year including Bags to school, Non uniform in December, Break the rules day and Leaver’s hoodies.
FOM continued to support the costs of hoodies for parents at the agreed level of up to 1000. This year the school took payment via the FOM site and Fom paid Omcat £3092. And contributed £888.
Given the confusion over sizing and complications over refunds for a 2nd year. (not to mention last year’s hoody sales taking the FOM over the maximum £25,000 _**not to mention taking the FOM over the 25,000 threshold for none audited book keeping,**_ please can I yet again advise that the FOM takes no part in the hoodies 25-26 ?
What was agreed as a goodwill with the school to prevent cash payments on school premises has lead to massive head aches and upset within the FOM, resulting in 2 members of the committee resigning over linked discussions, over an issue that the FOM is not responsible for.
Now that school can take payment via Arbor, the reasons for FOM helping in this way nolonger apply.
FOM also contributed £200 to the cost of the Young Voices coach hire, similarly to 24-25.
Again, this is only a small group of children who take part. It would be much fairer if every year group were allocated a pot of cash each year … ? £200 for each year group. This would more directly align with FOM’s constitution and core values.
(If the school then wished to dip into this pot for Young Voices, that is an internal decision.)
The works that the FOM agreed to carry out this year have been happily completed.
FOM Contributions this year included :-
A donation towards the cost of the Air Walker upgrade - £1298, the restoration of the Pond Area - £2868, a donation of the bench and mindful area £1400 from Co-Op funds
We also contributed £2078.51 to the addition of new benches and table in the dining area during this year, as last year’s set aside £10,000 allowed this, due to the FOM not paying for anything substantial for a couple of years.
This year we added a Taylor Swift evening to our repertoire and although it wasn’t the best financial decision, as a lot of the feedback was that it was considered rather a female event, those who did attend had a wonderful time.
Next year we have paid the deposit for one of the Gladiators to visit the school, the remainder to be paid 2025-26.
In addition to the above special donations made towards various areas around Minterne, we also contributed our usual Kindle, Water Bottles, Xmas Crackers, Lollies for sports day.
(NB we significantly over ordered Kindles this summer. We should only gift 12 per year. The additional stock needs storing and using the following year)
I shall complete an end of financial year report after our end of financial year - 31st August, this is just an overview of how we are progressing.
As of 31st August 2025, there is a total of £18537.81 in the bank account.
Next year, the FOM understands that the Fireworks returns ?
The committee continues to be dedicated to holding £2,000 for stock purchases. With increased costs, can I suggest that this stays above £10,000 in a year where we will have Fireworks.
So I believe we can comfortably contribute up to £8000 in the next financial year, to be decided at our AGMs and meetings throughout the year.
This year’s events have again been more financially viable due to the use of wholesalers Bookers and ‘Cut Price Wholesalers’ instead of paying retail prices when only charging £3 for a stall ticket for example
Thanks to all the ladies on committee as well as all the mums and occasional dad who continue to show up for us to allow the stalls and discos to keep running each and every time.
## **Charity Registration**
The FOM was admitted as a registered charity part way through the 2021/2022 financial year (#1199075). With the first return not required until 14 months after the end of the 2023/2023 financial year. This will be prepared by the outgoing Treasurer.
