ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Structure
Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022.
Reference and Administrative Information
The name of the charity's trustees at the date this report was approved are listed on page 1, together with the address of the principal office of the charity and the charity's registration numbers.
Purposes
The purpose of the Association is to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by: Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school; Engaging in activities and providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
When reviewing our objectives and planning activities for this year the committee have given careful consideration to the CCNI’s guidance on public benefit to ensure activities have helped meet the charities purpose to provide a benefit to beneficiaries.
a) Improving relationships between home and school
This is an active PTA which is able to fundraise and provide a number of events and activities for pupils at the school, and their families, fund additional resources for the school and build links with the community. It works in partnership with the school to engage parental support, for the benefit of children at Edenderry Primary School. Our charity trustees (PTA committee members) are usually also parents at the school, which their children attend, and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other beneficiaries.
B) Advancing the education of pupils in the school
We support the educational progress and attainment of pupils in the school through the provision of resources, events and activities, and by building links with the local community. Through the fundraising provided, the pupils have access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community, which are not available through direct school funding.
Fundraising
In support of these purposes, Friends of Edenderry carried out the following activities during 2021/22 school year.
Christmas Hampers and Raffle – thanks to all who helped with this.
All pupils received a selection box and a visit from Santa – photo of their class with Santa was made available.
Reusable Water Bottles sold – local company provided these
Easter – easter eggs were provided for colouring competition. Received a voucher from Tesco for this.
Ice lollies were provided at sports day – thanks to David from Tesco Bridgewater and Paula for help with this.
Council Grant – £5,000 was secured to be spent on technology to support the school - purchased ipads
