Chairperson's Report

The fundraising group is proud to support St Comgall's Primary school in its vision to encourage each child to develop to their full potential. I am very proud of all the group have achieved this year and very grateful to our parents for continuing to support our fundraising events. We raised El 5243.50 over 2022/23 our biggest fundraiser was again The Colour Run which was once again a huge hit with the children and raised €8011.92 (including gift aid). Blingo which is always a big hit with the parents raised E2912.78, over El 000 more than last year due mainly to the great raffles prizes we had kindly donated from local businesses. We also introduced our Christmas Jumper sale which was a big hit with parents and children and we finished the year with our Fun Day on a glorious sunny day in June.

I would like to say a huge thanks to St Comgall's fundraising group, all busy mummies with many demands on them, they all pull together to make sure the events take place safely and with fun. We said farewell to some fundraisers who had been with us from the inception of the group Michelle McShane and Priscilla Woods, we thank them for all their years of service to the group whilst their children were in the school. They should be very proud of the legacy they leave behind in the school. We are also delighted to have new members with new skills who have joined this year.

The fundraising group is a partnership with the school, and as always, it has been a great pleasure for us to work alongside Mr Matthews and the senior leadership team, who are always supportive of our proposals. We take the steer from them on where the money raised should be spent with input from the teaching staff and our children! Thanks must also go to all the staff at St Comgall's, both teaching and non-teaching for their help and encouragement, and for Tony, Marie, Kathleen and Elaine our cook who is always helping out with all our events.

I have big shoes to fill following Michelle McShane as chair, I hope I can do the role justice, and look forward to our continued efforts to fundraise for the school and make our children's school days the best of their lives.

Kind regards

Jackie Storrie Chair St Comgall's Fundraising Group

Treasurer's Report

I am pleased to present the financial statements for St Comgall's Fundraising Group for the year ended 31 5t August 2023 which show that we have a positive movement in funds from last year of E3,243.50 after taking into account income of €20,542.75 and expenditure of E5,299.25.We raised E 15,243,50 from fundraising activities made up as follows:-Colour Run gift aid) Blingo E2,91278, E75.72 from Amazon Smile, Christmas jumper sale El 38.85, Christmas Disco €469.03 and the Fun Night El , 720.69. We received the colour run gift aid from 2022 in this financial year of E2,082.53.

Our Christmas Disco was a new idea last year and it was very much a success with the pupils really enjoying the music, tuck shop and the glow sticks. We hope to run it again this year as it's a great way to start the Christmas break. It was great to be 2b!e to have our popular Blingo night on again which was a success once more. Details of the income and expenditure for all the projects are included within the notes to the accounts along with cost of governance and resources expended. We were happy to be able to hand over a cheque to the school from our funds for E 12,000 towards white boards. We finally also changed our bank account to Dankse Bank from the Bank oi it-eland. This has brought much greater flexibility and has made paying for fundraising costs much easier with online banking.

At the end of the year, we have El 5,201.91 of unrestricted funds to be used along with any amounts raised in 23/24 to continue to purchase key resources for our school.
