Para 1.17 and 1.19	During the year the Ark Priory Primary Academy Association (APPAA) managed several sources of fundraising (summer and winter fairs, Eid party, bake sales, uniform sales and others), all with the purpose of funding the activities and needs of the pupils of Ark Priory Primary Academy, Acton. As a result of those fund-raising activities APPAA was able to provide funds to the school for various purposes which were intended to improve the educational experience of the pupils of Ark Priory Primary Academy in line with the objects of APPAA.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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	The charity achieved a great level of fundraising over the year, disbursing significant funds to the school to permit theatre trips, classroom resources and other activities for the children that would otherwise have not been possible financially for the school to afford. The charity also raised funds to allow the construction and fitting of a pre- loved uniform shed, to allow parents and carers to more easily access pre- loved uniform throughout the school year.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	At the end of the period, the charity was in a strong financial position with £24,192 of cash funds resulting from starting point cash funds of £20,833 with £28,131 income and £24,772 in expenditure with no funds materially in deficit.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The charity does not have a reserves policy. Funds are managed in accordance with a voting system, where any future expenditure must be approved by trustees to ensure sufficient funds are already available. Our typical annual income is broadly in line with expenditure meaning we typically have cash funds at the end of the year of upwards of £20,000. This will enable the charity to continue to fund the educational advancement of the pupils of Ark Priory Primary Academy in future years should income decline. However, the charity is looking to increase expenditure by disbursing more funds to the school, which if not matched by income, will bring the cash funds down.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	Not applicable.

Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Not applicable.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	No funds are materially in deficit.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	Not applicable.
