Structure Governance and Management
The St Anne's Charity Fund formerly known as the St Anne's Special School Fund was constituted under a deed dated 5 March 1986 and is a registered charity, number 517471. It was established by the headteacher at that time along with governors of the school to advance the education of pupils of St Anne's Special School by providing or assisting in the provision of educational recreational and other charitable facilities not normally provided by the local education authority.

Here are some of the projects listed below that St Anne’s has achieved.
Advancing the Education of Pupils of St Anne's
-
Fruit and Vegetable Shop - The Sixth Form supported by staff run a fruit, vegetable, drinks, and sweet shop every Friday selling produce to staff members, bus drivers and members of the community alongside a Sixth Form Coffee Morning. This is part of the transition curriculum as students are taught aspects of business, mathematics, communication, and independence. £2,918.87 was allocated from the Charity Fund to buy in the produce over the year but this also raised for the Fund.
-
School Transport - Off site Visits – Due to some COVID restrictions we did not go off-site as much as we would have liked. The school uses its 5 school buses for such trips two being donated by the Variety Club, 1 through local businesses, and parents and 2 which we rent from a company over 3 years, but they all require maintenance and fuel. £6219.34 was allocated from the Charity Fund for this purpose.
-
Animals and Gardens - Pupils of students of all ages are involved in caring for the small animals in the enclosure including rabbits and chickens etc. This is an important part of the independence curriculum but is also very therapeutic for those young people who have low confidence and behavioural difficulties. Equally the grounds, gardens and poly tunnels for horticulture are the pride of the school and its pupils. £717.43 of the Charity Fund was used over the year to support these programmes.

-
Residential Activity Holidays – Three residential trips went ahead linked strongly to the curriculum, self-confidence, sport, and outdoor activity in challenging conditions. These are at the Calvert Trust Centre in Borrowdale, Cumbria, and Carlton Lodge Activity Centre in North Yorkshire. Whilst parents contribute to the cost of the educational holidays there are significant staff costs for support, learning and safety along with the residential cost for the staff of the Charity Fund was used to fund these. These were paid in 20/21 apart from £299.58 to Carlton Lodge.
-
Trophies and Awards - Awards and trophies are presented at the end of the school academic Year for achievement, communication, work experience, sport, and drama £992.26 was awarded from the Charity Fund to purchase the trophies and support the awards event.
-
General Curriculum Support - Whilst the core curriculum of the school is financed through the main school budget, Pupil premium or Sports Premium other activities fall outside these budgets. £146 was therefore allocated from the Charity Fund to support extra curriculum work.
-
Sixth Form Trip – Some pupils and staff from the Sixth Form were given the opportunity to go to London and see a show. Every minute was enjoyed by all. £838.25.
-
Sports Hall – St Anne’s are moving into a new school off Boothferry Road, Hessle, which is situated next to Hessle Rangers football club. We have been in talks so that our staff and pupils can use this facility for PE and Sixth Form Café and more. Geoff spoke to the Finance Committee to ask if we could help by gifting £10,000 to help renew the roof. This was agreed by all.
2 Recreational Activities for Pupils of St Anne's
- Residence Projects - The charity receives donations specifically to support the work of the Residence and often that is ring fenced for certain activities. They include onsite and offsite activity resources which may include celebrations, refurbishments and entertainment, Examples of projects supported appear below.
Easter, Judo, Horticulture, Summer activities, Mexican Carnival Week, Dance Dynamic, Pony Days, Sam Safari, Magic Show, Fireworks and Pizza Nights.

Christmas Presents - Each year staff members are allocated an amount of £7 for each pupil to purchase a Christmas present at the various Christmas parties. The total cost of this in 2021 was £965.05 which was funded through the Charity Fund.

Sixth Form Prom- There is a Sixth Form Prom arranged every year as there is in all main-stream schools. In 2021 the Sixth Form Prom went ahead at Brantingham Park, Elloughton. The Sixth Form awards were presented to the students in front of Parents and Staff. £379.95 of the Charity Fund was provided to support this event this also included sweatshirts for the Leavers.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities.
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of incoming resources of the charity for that period.
8
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; FRS 102
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in financial statements; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other regularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website.
Social Impact Assessment
The overall aim of the charity is to fund added value activities for children and young people who have profound and multiple, severe, and autistic and emotional behavioural difficulties. This is measured by the quality of the projects supported over the year together with the influence the charity has on the wider education of pupils attending the school and residence with an emphasis being on them acquiring skills to be as independent as possible.
Strategic Alliances and Conclusion
The Charity has a strong relationship with the Board of Governors, 'Friends of St Anne's School, business community, other local trusts and charities, the local authority and NHS.
Its strength is its independence and freedom to support projects which reflects its aims and the support of its many funders.

It is my pleasure to present this annual report along with the financial statements for the year 2021/22 to the Chair and trustees. The St Anne's Charity Fund is in a strong position operationally and financially to continue its valuable work.
