Chairman’s Report 23/24
The 2023/2024 financial year was a successful one for the SJSA, marked by a strong programme of fundraising activities at St Joseph’s School. As in previous years, we benefited from a committed and supportive team, with Mr. Bowles continuing to serve as our Senior Leadership link.
Revenue increased by 7% compared to the previous year, reflecting a positive trend in income generation. The annual auction remained our most significant fundraiser, generating £46,856, followed by the Winter Gala (£10,463), Summer Fair (£9,787), and Readathon (£9,248). Additional funds came from uniform sales, sponsorships, and one-off donations.
Governors and Senior Leaders continued to support a collaborative fundraising strategy, focused on building community and purpose. The SJSA remains committed to hosting key events that foster school spirit while also encouraging families to contribute through regular donations in support of educational enrichment.
The SJSA contributed £70,000 during the year, in line with contributions made in previous periods. As of the close of the 2023/2024 school year, the SJSA held bank reserves of £38,592. Discussions with Senior Leaders are ongoing to determine the most impactful use of these funds for the benefit of the children.
Our accountants, LLP Livingstone—appointed in the 2020/2021 financial year—continue to conduct the Independent Examiner’s Report, a statutory requirement when SJSA income exceeds £25,000.
Following Annikka’s departure as Treasurer, we welcomed Juan Lanza into the role at the start of this financial year. Shane Voinorosky continues in his role as Chair of the SJSA.
This past year also saw a welcome expansion of the SJSA team, with many new volunteers bringing fresh energy and ideas to our vibrant calendar of events.
We are seeking additional volunteers to join the SJSA, with a focus on building a larger, more collaborative team. This will help create a more balanced and manageable workload for all involved. We kindly encourage each family to contribute their time to at least two events per year, ensuring the effort is shared fairly across our community.
Your support—whether by taking on an SJSA role, assisting with individual events, or simply offering an hour of your time—makes a meaningful difference. Every contribution helps strengthen St Joseph’s School and the vibrant community we all value.
Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the generous parents, dedicated staff, and Senior Leadership Team of St Joseph’s School. Your time, support, and financial contributions have been instrumental in helping the SJSA achieve its goals in support of the school. As always, our progress reflects a collective effort, and we look forward to a full calendar of fundraising events and a more favourable fundraising environment in the year ahead.
Thank you.

St Joseph’s School Association SJSA CHARITY NUMBER 286432 Report of Independent examination
This report on the accounts of St Joseph’s School Association for the year ended 31 August 2024, which are set out on pages 2 to 5 below, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Charity Commission's general directions set out in their publication CC32,"Independent Examination of Charity Accounts: Examiners' Guide", as required by "PCC Accountability 5th Edition", published by Church House Publishing.
Responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The members of the LCC, as trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011( the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to :
-
Examine Accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ' true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached .
