Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The events organised by Friends of Southborough raise funds to support the school in a variety of ways. The main use of the funds is to support the school with the purchase of items and resources which will further enhance the experiences and learning of the children. In addition to this, we top up pupil premium budgets and support with contributions towards the Year 6 school journey and day trips in other year groups.

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	At the end of the year the Charity had funds of £37,709 having made a profit of £15.4k on fundraising events in the year. This has been from a sell out firework display in November 2024 raising a net profit of £2.8k, a successful summer fair raising £4.7k, secrets rooms raising £1.7k, school discos raising £4k and various other events and activities raising a total of £15.4k. The main expenditure in the year for the school was the funding of the Ipads and now press play headphones. We also paid for an anti bullying workshop for the entire school, and PE equipment. In addition to this we bought the new reception children their book bags and water bottles and funded the coach and hoodies for the year 6 journey.
