PFfA TREASURERS REPORT 0110912024 - 311812025 l again have the pleasure to confirm we have had another great year of fundraising with the two school fairs and fantastic raffles being our main focus. The fairs between them gave us slightly more profit than the previous year. Candise who runs these expertly and Becky and Polly who come in and sort all the items work tirelessly behind the scenes and I would like to offer thanks for the work they put in, it 15 greatly appreciated. The raffle prizes this year were absolutely amazing and huge thanks needs to be given to Madeline Chainey and Dee and Chris Moor for putting these prizes together. The profit from these v￿$ almost double compared to last year. Totsl income was down overall compared to the previous year. however last year did include over £4000 that Becky generated from her wing walk. If we tske out thls one-off event the general fund raising vos approximately £2000 more this year. We continue to help the school financially each year, supplying vnter to the stsff room, pupil Christmas presents and 50% of the lease of a minibu5 Icontribution £3228.C(s). Previously we have contributed 50% towards the cost of the school planners, the school has purchased contact books instead of planners this year at a totsl cost of £78.08 plus VAT, we have not contributed to this cost as yet. Our current position is healthy with income exceedin8 expenditure during the year. We stsrted the yearwith £10586.84 inthe bank and l anticipate we will end the yearwith a little over £15000.00. On the report last year l estimated we would hopefully be able to contribute be￿een £3000 and £4000 to the school, however due the fantastic efforts I believe we are in a position to offer the school £5000. It should also be noted that we have had other income and expenditure going through the bank account for playground funding and from Cobtree Manor Golf Club. The totsl income received for these during the year VAS £69112.00 which has all been transferred to the school. Income by items- expense tsken out where applicable.
