The  financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies  set out in the financial statements and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of recommended practice to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) 

The Annual Report lists all projects within St Anne's School and Sixth Form College and Residence funded from the St Anne's Charity Fund in accordance with its charitable objects. 

## **Mission Statement** 

The Charity adopts the school mission statement namely 'We All Achieve' and supports projects that add to the value of the school and its pupils within the school or wider community. 

## **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. 

The  area  of  benefit  is  defined  as  St  Anne's  School,  Sixth  Form College and Residence including activities by pupils in the wider community in support of them, their parents, and carers. 

The  trustees  are  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Governors  and  the Finance Committee of the Board acts as an operational steering 

4 



group.  They  consist  of  the  Chair  of  Governors,  Chair  of  Finance committee, two Finance Committee governors and the headteacher. 

At  regular  meetings,  every  term  the  trustees  agree  the  broad strategy and areas of activity for the Charity including consideration of awards, wider support for projects, investment, risk management policies  and performance. Additionally, projects  which have been supported  by  the  charity  are  monitored  through  the  Board  of Governors for the school. 

The Annual General Meeting of the Charity is held each May as part of the Finance Committee with the positions of Chair, trustees and treasurer appointed The Secretary is the School Business Manager, school  governor  and  member  of  the  Finance  Committee.  The Secretary  reports  to  the  Chair  and  other  trustees  consulting regularly between meetings. She undertakes to: 

- Promote the activities of the Charity. 

- Organise, report to and support meetings of trustees. 

- Receive requests for funding. 

- Assess  projects  and  advise  trustees  on  the  merits  of  the applications. 

- Approve  grants  by decision record  in consultation with the chair. 

- Keep full accounts. 

- Present such accounts to the meeting of trustees. 

- Draft the Annual Report and Accounts for the Charity Commission and Board of Governors. 

- Report as required to HMRC re Gift Aid. 

## **Risk Management** 

A review of the Charity  was undertaken in October 2018. Three additional trustees were appointed. The name of the charity was changed to St Anne's Charity Fund and systems were streamlined to ensure that all accounting systems were in place. 

Signatories for the Trust Accounts are in accordance with the bank mandate. 

## **Fund Raising and Income** 

The  School  Charity  Fund  receives  donations  from  friends  of  St Anne's,  the  local  business  community,  and  parents.  There  are specific fundraising events throughout the year. During the financial year 2021/22 the Charity raised £28,267.  This was from donations and general fund raising. 

On 31 March 2021 there was a balance of £37,936. 

5 



Apart from the annual cost of the independent examiners, the 'Just Giving' facility and funds allocated to raise more money all funds were allocated in accordance with the objects of the Charity. 

This left a balance on 31 March 2022 of £25,994. 

## **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. 

6 



- **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.

£3,599.97 

- **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. 

## **3 Administrative Costs.** 

There are administrative costs incurred by the Charity which have been 

paid. They are: 

 Just Giving Gift Aid Scheme £216 

## **TOTAL MONIES SPENT 2021/22 £40,209 – included was a donation for the New Minibus** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is the policy of the Charity to maintain a minimum reserve of £5,000. This provides flexibility to respond to emergency applications for awards. 

## **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.
