TRUSTEES REPORT FRIENDS OF DONHEAD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

9am, 1[st] October, 2021

Our Mission

The key role of the Friends of Donhead (hereafter known as ‘FOD’) is firstly, to build a vibrant social community for parents, and secondly, to raise money for the School and its chosen charities.

Public Benefit Statement

The FOD aim to help those who need support external of the School in accordance with its Christian values. The FOD aim, where possible, to support the School financially for the purchase of items that further the child’s experience and education at Donhead Preparatory School through fundraising.

The FOD aim to be inclusive and responsible in all activities.

The FOD values are to support others, develop our community and be cognizant of all those in need and to try and assist within our ability.

Summary

During 2020-2021, the Trustees have continued to oversee the effective running of the charity, with a focus on external giving, whether monetary or materially. This period has been a continuation of the previous year with the COVID 19 restrictions still in place, meaning that ALL FOD events were again cancelled until July 2021. Prior to this, the FOD put their efforts into ‘virtual fundraising’, thinking of schemes and activities that the Donhead community could partake in offsite, whilst still raising funds.

Following on from the previous accounting period, the emphasis has again been on finances. Through clever activities, the FOD were still able to make 9 external charity donations and 1 significant donation to Donhead Preparatory School. Notably, the FOD also benefitted from the new ‘Parental Charitable Donation’ scheme, instigated in Lent term, with a termly donation of £5 per child be added to the fees. This incentive guarantees an annual income to the Charity, providing the parents are in agreement, and will be transferred termly to the FOD account via the School Bursar.

The FOD will continue to support the School in any requests forthcoming and within our financial power. Furthermore, within the Jesuit and School’s ethos, we will also continue with our charitable giving to those who need it most, both internal and external of the School and after the approval of the Headmaster. We continually seek to broaden the base of parents who participate in the FOD and look forward to a return to our annual event programme.

Trustee Appointments for 2020-21 :

Chair - Briony Tattersall Treasurer – John Coggan Secretary – Macarena Perez- Rosell

Committee Members During Period September 2020 - August 2021 Include - John Coggan, Delia Antoine Burdett, Fiona Wyse, Helene Ericsson, Anna O’Shea, Brenda Clayden, Bernadette White (Staff Representative), Chiara Romeo, Emma Little, Leslie Burros, David Wang, Katie Mulroe, Helen Daniel, Macarena Perez-Rosell & Clionadh Pegrum - Fundraising Summaries: September 2020 July 2021

With the cancellation of most events due to COVID 19, the FOD was fortunate to still run the following schemes:

Personalised Boot Bag Sales Community Cookbook Print Pumpkin Carving Competition Christmas Tree Sale Christmas Raffle 1933 Challenge Wine Tasting Events Easter Baking Competition Elements Leavers Sports Party Uniform Sales

Movie Nights:

The FOD have continued to host children’s movie nights but by year groups only to ensure no crossing of the Covid ‘bubbles’ in place by the School. These remain incredibly popular with the boys and parents still appreciate these afternoons of free childcare by the FOD. Our thanks to Miss Jackson and the Staff for overseeing these this academic year due to the pandemic.

Merchandise and Uniform Sales:

We have again been able to offer for purchase Donhead branded items. These provide steady income to our accounts and succeed in promoting the brand of the School in the wider community. Branded stock levels will need to be replenished in the forthcoming year.

The sale of Second-Hand Uniform continues to provide us with a healthy return each term and adds yet another service offered via the FOD. Profits of these sales has increased remarkably with the introduction of convenient card payments and an increase of prices, with a strict overseeing of the quality and condition of items. The FOD plan to install a permanently sited Uniform and Merchandise shop within the School Grounds to solidify this service for the future.

ASSETS

The total assets at the end of the Academic Year (to 31[st] August 2020) were £43,872.55 accumulated from the Main FOD bank account, the Headmasters 100 Account & Groundworks Account. This amount was used as our starting Balance for the 2020-2021 Financial Year.

Please note that £30,000 of this amount was a charitable donation via a parent, being held in trust by FOD for a future groundwork project at the OWA / Donhead Sports Grounds and cannot be accessed for anything other than this project and must be protected. This project still falls within the FOD’s Constitutional Object at Clause 2b to ‘ engage in activities which support the School and thereby advance the educational facilities of the pupils attending it’.

Notes:

Due to the COVID pandemic almost all our events were cancelled. Following the cancellation of the Donhead Summer Ball we were able to obtain some refunds for monies spent, the other items such as lighting being held for use at the 2022 ball. A refund was also given on the Summer Party hire fee. Our fundraising capabilities were significantly reduced, but we honoured our promises to the community and charities and still made external donations. This left us in credit overall , but a loss shows for the year due to the generosity of the committee and community .

Donations Summary:

The donations given throughout this accounting year, made from November 2020 onwards are:

£1,000.00 to Ronald McDonald House £1,000.00 to Papyrus £500 to Brothers Trust £500 to Volunteers Foundation £500 to First Touch £ 882.02 to Children in Need £1,329 to St Teresa’s RC Primary School £ 1,000.00 to The Shabash Ministry activities £6,160 to Old Wimbledonians Association

£11,000 donated to Donhead Preparatory School towards outdoors table tennis area and gazebo purchase.

£26,500 was transferred from the Main Account to the Groundworks Account to be held in trust for maintenance of the Donhead and OWA grounds, as stipulated in last year’s report.

The FOD have also organized large amounts of donated uniform and shoes to the Lunchbowl Network throughout the year for use in African primary schools. Renewable and Sustainable charitable giving

Please note – the accounts show an overall loss. This is due to the FOD honouring obligations from the previous academic year by making donations this reporting year for the past two years . A careful watch has been kept on finances throughout the COVID pandemic and we are satisfied with our activities and generosity, which is in line with our Mission Statement and School ethos. The FOD still retains a healthy bank balance to continue their work.
