namely the resurfacing and refencing of the Multi Use Game Area IMUGAI at Chearn Common Junlor
Academy ICCJI. Due to the scale of the projert. the Trustees applied for a variety of grants from the
wider communlty, and engaged even more closely with parents within the school to identlfy
alternattve sources of fundin8. father than ￿1¥ solely on donatSons received in the course of the
usual activitie5 hosted by the charity. We are pleased to report that this resulted in the receipt of a

Reserves pollcy
The Trustees discuss the year's planning at the AGM and liaise with the schools throughout the year
to dlscuss what Items and projects they would like us to supwrt them with. These requests are
reviewed on a case by case basis. This is to ensure that donations made from the charity to the
schools meet the threshold for providing a benefft to the Majority of the school. It is also so that we
can control what expenditure the charity Is committing to. As we do not have access to credit
facilities, it 15 key for the Trustees to ensure that any expenditure commltment tan be met by existing
cash a55ets. This is reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the year so it can be adjusted according
to the fundraising income the charity receNes.
