We spent a lot on the children’s wellbeing 

e.g. Christmas Presents, Cinema Trip, Easter Eggs etc. 

**Our total income from the Fundraisers was £12197.38 And our total expenditure was £3636.70** 

Our Balance on 1 September 2023 is £11461.35 

We have a very healthy balance but the need to be proactive in fundraising remains very important to provide the resources for the children. 

## **Please Note:** 

**We have funds earmarked for the following which will come out of the PTA account in Sept/Oct 23**

This means that while our balance looks healthy there are £5k+ of expenditure to come out in the near future and so the urgency to maintain our fundraising remains. 

Thank you all  for your support for the PTA.
