## FOEBS The Edith Borthwick School Enterprise Drive Braintree Essex CM7 2YN foebs2015@gmail.com Registered Charity number: 27 0 773 ## Tuesday November 1, 2022 ## **Friends of Edith Borthwick School Treasurer’s Report** ## **Charity Accounts** The financial year for the Friends of Edith Borthwick School runs from 1st September until 31st August. The Annual Treasurer’s Report has been compiled based on the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission. The attached supporting Charity Accounts, presented for the Financial Year 2021/2022, have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis and have also been compiled in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission with the exception that the amounts are not rounded to the nearest £. Note: as the income has exceeded the £25,000 threshold this year, the accounts will require independent examination before submission to the Charity Commission. ## **Objectives of the Friends of Edith Borthwick School** FOEBS organises events and raises funds for the school, to be spent on things that the school budget cannot pay for. We have two aims: firstly to raise money to benefit our learners by engaging in activities, providing facilities and equipment that supports the school and enhances the education of the learners. and secondly, to promote the strong sense of community that exists by developing effective relationships between staff, parents, and others, associated with the school, ## **Account Overview** The opening balance of the FOEBS bank accounts was declared as £20,136.87 on September 1st 2021. However, the PayPal balance of £972.06 had been missed from this prior year declaration. The closing balance was £36,484.53 on 31st August 2022. Income totalled £31,791.72 and Expenditure £16,416.12. A detailed breakdown of the accounts is provided with this document. ## **Summary of Main Fundraising Activities Autumn Term 2021** Fundraising planned this year was again limited due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Fundraising in the Autumn Term commenced with the postponed Leavers Disco. This raised £121. Followed by the postponed Summer Picnic £59. A unique event was held to support one of our learner's talents by publicly displaying his maps, this raised £64. Bags2School raised £54 but due to the effort involved and concerns with the ethics of the initiative this will not be repeated. There was then a coin collection by learners in Smarties tubes over half term which raised £449, this was the gift that kept on giving as tubes continued to be handed in for several months. With the progression of the Autumn Term, more restrictions were introduced and meant the limited numbers for the Rock Choir event which raised £741 and really got everyone in the festive spirit - a huge thanks to the choir. A new Christmas activity of learners creating their own cards raised £296 alongside a hastily rearranged snow event - thanks to the school staff for stepping in at short notice when volunteers were no longer permitted on site, and to Vicky for sourcing snow fluid from anyone that had any. Finally, this was the term that kicked off some bigger projects - Early Years Playground so far this year has raised £2,230 and Animal Therapy £4,202 ## **Spring Term 2022** This was due to be a quieter term with regards to events. However, a violent storm damaged our Animal Therapy area and required an additional urgent appeal to enable repairs. ## **Summer Term 2021** The year concluded with a Edith Borthwick's Got Talent donations (part of Other Income) and the Sponsored Walk in part to fund the Leavers Disco. The inaugural event raised £6,680 which will be boosted considerably by the gift aid reclaim next year. Some learners did exceptionally well with their sponsorship and were rewarded with certificates as well as the winning class getting a pizza party. That was a narrowly fought contest with just £5 between the top 2 classes. Despite the name (walk - yes we dropped the inclusion clanger there), every learner had the opportunity to participate either onsite or very excitedly offsite. A huge thank you to the school staff for the extraordinary amount of planning and running the event. There had been high hopes of getting Headteacher Dan a place on the big water tower abseil ready for another sponsorship effort. Sadly, we were unable to make this happen and Maggie claims she is terrified of heights but we are hoping to persuade another volunteer in 2023. We finished the year with a picnic which raised £863. Note that all these quoted amounts are the gross incomes from events and excluded any costs associated with running them (see Expenditure section). ## **Ongoing Fundraising** Second hand school uniform has been sold periodically throughout the year and thank you to Julie for organising this. We were also donated other items to sell from instruments to ink cartridges and a computer and thank you to Jacqui for selling these, in total this raised £377. Our ongoing fundraising through subscriptions £1,810 and lottery £1,495 have also continued. ## **Other income** Other sources of income to the FOEBS bank accounts are Amazon Smile, Easy Fundraising, Empties Please (Ink Cartridge Recycling) £483 And one off donations from individuals including PayPal Giving donations, fundraisers such as birthdays and marathons and also specific sponsorship of our events £2,812. We will not name all these here as some requested to remain anonymous. Our new purchase of a Roll A Coin situated in Reception has now paid for itself and provides a lovely sensory trip out of the classroom for some of our learners - 10ps and £1s work best. Edith Borthwick's Got Talent and Wear a Xmas Jumper are also included in the total. Gift Aid is an easy contributor to the FOEBS income. Any donations via Facebook and PayPal Giving have automatically been reclaimed at £478, but we have not yet completed our manual submission for the tax year 2021/22 whilst we renew the individual taxpayer declarations to support it. We estimate that about £1,000 will be due. This is boosted for the first time by claiming through the Gift Aid on Small Donations Scheme for all of our coin collections. Sponsored walk donations will be claimed in the next tax year which is our next financial year also, that calculation is TBD. Interest was a very low £2. However, we are aware of the need to move all spare funds to our savings account and potentially switch accounts given the economic climate changes resulting in higher interest rates. Lastly, FOEBS is extremely grateful to the organisations that have granted us money. In total £8,000 was given by FSJ Charities and Charles S French to provide Funky Feet music and dance training for our staff to support our learners. ## **Expenditure** FOEBS has a number of costs incurred throughout the year, both regular and stand-alone. These are listed below: |**Description**||**£**| |---|---|---| |Accountantfees- RobertArchibold||(125.00)| |3x35lstorage boxes||(28.00)| |Canva subscription||(107.88)| |ParentKind Fee||(116.00)| |March Parent Support Grouprefreshments||(20.23)| |Roll a Coin spare key||(5.00)| |LotteryLicence||(20.00)| |||| |||(422.11)| Our regular annual payments are to Braintree Council and Parentkind (PTA fundraising network). We have noted that ParentKind now includes a Canva subscription so in future this cost will no longer be incurred. We are seeking a free volunteer to examine our accounts ongoing and further reduce our costs. General expenses included spare keys and storage for our container and sharing the cost of refreshments for our parent/carer monthly meetings. FOEBS also funds bids from classes to be spent wherever the teacher felt it was needed, whether resources, stationary or treats for a class party. In 2021/22 we have funded a dark den, swing, coach and end of term ice cream treats for every learner. Including the grants, the total given to school was £10,043. Within this we have begun spending the designated reserves being held of £1,964 from the Edward Bird Memorial; a reflection garden is being constructed with arbour, windchimes, mirrors and a moving sculpture. £675.75 remains to be spent. Our fundraising expenses - the costs to run the events or the purchase of what the specific event fundraiser was for, was £5,951. A detailed breakdown of the event spending is provided with this document. The biggest of these included Animal Therapy £3,507, Early Years Playground £500 and Leavers Disco £877. ## **Reserves** FOEBS has no restricted reserves. However, we have ringfenced/designated reserves to cover our specific fundraising events where we fundraised and committed donations would be spent for a specific purpose (Animal Therapy £660 and Early Years Playground £1,730), minibus replacements £17,000, the remainder of the Reflection Garden £676 and our Trustee agreed General Operating Reserve £2,000 and Minimum Reserve level £5,000. ## **Challenges Faced This Year** Parents and learners showed their adaptability and enthusiasm by joining in with fundraising events offered this year. Despite Coronavirus restrictions at times affecting our ability to hold in-person events, we hope we still managed to promote the strong sense of community at Edith Borthwick. With banking hours and now branches reduced, taking online payments proved more convenient than having to handle cash. We would like to continue to pursue cashless payments and those automatically linked with gift aid reclaim to further reduce the administrative burden on the Treasurer(s). I was optimistic that with the return to normality post the pandemic, FOESB will once again be able to organise events for all the our school community to enjoy and to raise more funds for the benefit of learners. However, we are very much aware of the increasing pressure on finances during the cost of living crisis, and our aim is to work on increasing donations from donors external to the school community. It is worth a look at the trend of the accounts in recent years; FOEBS has had its most successful income year in 9 years. We have some big wishes on the list (replacement minibuses, playground, forest school, swimming pool) and if we can continue the fundraising momentum these wishes will be realised. ||**Funds**
