Treasurer Report ILIYAIACRICKETI School year September 2022- June 2023 Ballymacrickett PS Fundraising Committee Income: As always our great Christmas and summer ballots have been a valuable source of income, with our members all successfully managing to secure terrific prizes. We also ran our yearly Santa Walk as a kick off to Christmas. Our Christmas Fair was a huge success having almost 20 stalls in total, a lovely family event for the school and wider community. Another successful fundraiser was our Christmas cards/mugs, a lovely keepsake for families and friends. Easy Fundraising is a valuable and easy asset to fundraising and we need to encourage more parents and stsff to do thi5. With no work or commitment on our side to claim these funds as they are automatically paid in during the year at different times via Direct Debit. A great year for our Fundraising team with £4766.24 secured as income. Expendlture: One of our biggest expenditure was to fund our Sensory room within the school, we hope that the children are enjoying this facility and supporting the children who need it most, an invaluable resource. As every year we support our sacramental expenses including l Holy Communion and Confirmation. This includes cake, refreshments etc. We pay for the pantomime buses for all the school, this is a lovely day out for both staff and children to kick off the festive season. With School leavers we again paid for their new secondary school ties a lovely gesture and has been met with great emotion and appreciation on their final day of Primary School. We also fund refreshments for the leavers and theirfamilies along with a ROA wallets. We have a great healthy amount of money £12,108.27 heading into our new school year with so many budgets cuts within Education we hope to be able to support our school in many ways while still fulfilling our usual commitments. (Finally can l add that Mrs McAllister had secured £7 in a grant this year, which is a substantial amount of money for the schools outdoor space?)
