## **TREASURER’S REPORT For the year ended 31[st] August 2024** 

The Independent Examiner’s Report relating to the Parents’ Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 shows net expenditure from activities of £8,560.34. 

## Financial Activities 

The Parents’ Association held various regular fundraising events in the year ended 2024, the most significant of which were Gfest which raised £10,519.38 (£0 in 2023); the Comedy Night raising £4,627.89 (£4,389.88 in 2023) and the Bingo Night raising £1,116.12 (£450 in 2023).  No Band Night Gfest event was run in the year ended 2024 (£3,227.97 in 2023). 

We received a donation of £833.53 (£524.45 in 2023) from the Palm Centre which was a percentage of the Xmas trees sales made to parents during December. 

In September 2022 we received £603.97 of card payment income that could not be identified in the published accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2023.  We have since identified that this revenue was from the sale of second hand books. 

Surplus beverage stock from one event is often used at another later event but not recorded separately for accounting purposes.  This has led to some events showing negative income. 

At 31[st] August 2024, the Parents’ Association had bank and cash balances totalling £22,004.03 after providing a £30,000 grant to Grey Court School in May 2024.   The grant was used to upgrade the school’s netball courts to a safer, non-slip surface and allow dual use for both netball and basketball. 

The Parents’ Association would like to thank all those individuals who have contributed to the organisation during the year.
