## **Friends of Beaconsfield High Trustees Report 2023-2024** The purpose of the Friends of Beaconsfield High School PTA is to raise funds and strengthen the school community to benefit and advance the education of the students of Beaconsfield High School. All parents of children at the school are automatically members of the PTA, however fundraising events and initiatives are generally run by a small group of volunteers. The governance of the PTA is managed by the current Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. The Chair and Treasurer are trustees of the charity. There are no paid employees and trustees and volunteers are only reimbursed for direct expenses incurred on behalf of the charity. Termly PTA meetings are held where plans for the fundraising events and priorities for funding for the school are discussed and agreed. The committee have agreed that minimum reserves of £5,000 should be maintained for any emergency funding required by the school and for event costs in advance. The year to 31[st] July 2024 went very well, with the Christmas Fair being a great success, raising over £14,644. Total funds raised in the year of £40,848 (2023: £35,991) was an immense achievement and allowed the donation of £35,256 to the school. Other events included the ever popular Quiz Nights and Year 7/8 Disco’s plus the ongoing initiatives such as second hand uniform sales and My School Lottery. Due to reducing numbers and requiring a disproportionate amount of administration, the Becky High Hundred’s initiative was closed during the year. It is hoped that any active members will redirect donations to the School Lottery. Funds donated to the school have been spent and are earmarked for a variety of activities, such as outdoor table tennis tables, digital screens and charging banks. The Chair and Treasurer, having been in post for the maximum term of three years, stepped down at the October 2024 AGM, with the successors being voted in at the same meeting. Going forward, it is very much hoped to build on the core team of volunteers helping at events. With more parental input considerably more could be achieved!
