Trustees Report
Year End August 2019
Another year has gone by and our fundraising Committee has been working extremely
hard to raise essential funds to support and complement our school in its efforts to
provide an excellent learning environment despite budget restraints affecting all areas of
the education system.
We have been a Registered Charity since September 2015.
Our registered charity organisation name is Ballymacrickett Fundraising Committee and
our Northern Ireland Charity Number is NIC102182.
As a charity we want to advance the education of pupils of Ballymacrickett Primary
School and Nursery Unit.
We organise family, friendly community events which, in turn develop collegial
relationships among our committee members, parents and school staff.
Our goal is to generate money for additional educational resources for the school.
Our fundraisin
this
ear has been sourced from a variet of events including a Movie
Night, Tea and Coffee at Events, Christmas Fair, Easyfundraising, Ballot, Bob-A-Job and
Fun Night.
In turn these said events generated money to spend (see Income and Expenditure). A
number of our
ro'ects and s
ends were on Essential Classroom Resource; an amazing
Musical Instruments, Reading Books, Transport to Pantomime for the entire school,
Sports Day Medals, School leaver rewards, P5 Novels, Maths Resources and Sacramental
Expenses.
The Public Benefit of our events heighten the profile of our primary school, raises moral
among the teaching and support staff therefore attracting more applicants for positions
as they arise. Thi5 in turn gives our children excellent support and an amazing
opportunity to benefit from the extra funds to get essential teaching resources and trips
not currently affordable or available in the school's education budget, in turn providing
each child with the most enriched experience possible.

Our Committee is made up of a combination of staff from the school and parents both
male and female and are known as Trustees.

Everyone on the committee is a volunteer and in a non-paid capacity. We have 10
tru5tee5 in this current year and they are..
Chairperson - Michelle Doone
Deputy Chairperson- Bernadette McGrandles
Secretary- Danny Mulholland
Deputy Secretary- Alison Brankin
Treasurer- Betty Campbell
Deputy Treasurer- Gemma Stewart
and
Sharon Heatley, Joe Mulholland, Amanda Crossen and Grainne Mallon.
Our structure for smooth running of the committee includes an AGM and at least 4 to 5
meetings within the school year. Minutes of meetings are kept. Due to recent and
current cuts in the Education Budget and strains on the school's finances, the committee
furnish parents and staff at the beginning of the school year with a detailed information
leaflet advising them of the AGM date, the previou5 year's financial information, planned
events for the current year and a note welcoming new members and a request for
volunteers to help run/organise events.
We had our AGM this year on 12th November 2019.
All our new members of the committee {Trustees) receive a copy of our Charity
Constitution which informs them of the purpose of the charity how we carry this out,
membership, meetings, AGM and monies.
All our monies are held in a Charity Bank Account / Community Account with Barclays
Bank. All our cheques must be signed by 2 people; these trustees are appointed and are
registered with Barclays Bank. Currently we have 3 people who are registered with the
bank.
