## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** # **From 01/09/2023 Period start date To 31/08/2024 Period end date** **Charity name: Friends of LGS Stoneygate** **Charity registration number: 1201638** ## **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 FOLS is to advance the
education of the pupils of the school by
providing or assisting in the provision of
facilities for education at the school (not
normally provided by the Leicester Grammar
School Trust). This includes:-
a) promoting close co-operation and
communication between parents and
teachers
b) studying and discussing matters of
mutual
interest
relating
to
the
education and care of pupils
c) engaging in activities which support
and advance the education of the
pupils attending the school, including
fund raising and after school activities
d) considering applications for funds
put to the FOLS from parents and
teachers, and granting funds to support
such applications where the request is
passed by a majority of the General
Committee.| |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|FOLS runs numerous fundraising activities
throughout the academic year, such as
cake sales, flower workshops, quiz nights,
and raffles. We also contribute time and
resources to school-organised activities,
such as by providing aprons for the Food
Tech department, or prizes for the sports
days.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees are aware of this guidance

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|This academic year has been another
busy one for FOLS. At the beginning of
the school year we held a lolly sale and
another popular Krispy Kreme donut
sale. In December, FOLS donated
almost £720 for gifts and chocolate
given to the children in the Santa’s
Grotto and after the Fun Run.
Christmas activities raised approx.
£300. Our Pre-prep and Prep Movie
Nights with hot dogs and popcorn in
November and February were a great
hit with the children and raised over
£400. Mother’s Day flower workshops
raised £234. The ever-popular Quiz
Night in March raised almost £870. We
organised a Fun Evening for the
seniors in April, supplied refreshments
and paid for an interactive graffiti wall
for the children to design their own
digital art. Our biggest fundraising
success has been our pre-loved
uniform sales which we have held
throughout the year. These have
brought in approx.. £1140. We have
donated around £370 for embroidered| aprons, science lab coats and art coveralls. We have also paid for the amazing inflatables which will be at this year’s Summer Fete. Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|With all the changes and developments at
the school recently, FOLS made a
conscious decision in 2022 not to raise
money for a specific project but to build on
what we already have. In September 2023,
with the arrival of the new headteacher, we
did not yet have a clear fundraising goal,
however in 2024-25 our exciting new
fundraising goal is to develop the forest
school area and provide a new wooden
shelter which will benefit the entire school
community.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising

back to the school. Since we were unable
to do this in 2022-23, and there was again
no clear fundraising goal in 2023-24, most
of what was raised this year has been put
into activities that have enriched the school
lives of the children instead.| |Details of fund materially in
