Chairperson’s Report
| am pleased to present the report for the St Comgall’s Fundraising group for the year ending 31° August 2025 ~~.~~ After 12 years this is my last year as chair and as a trustee of St Comgall’s Fundraising, | reflect with pride on all that has been achieved with current and past members.
| recall sitting with Ciara McIntyre, previous VP completing the lottery fund application for the trim trail and being amazed at the cost of the equipment. | still love to see the children play on the trim trail today ~~.~~ The school bus was another huge milestone for the school, It’s great to see it in use for the children for swimming lessons and trips. Interactive whiteboards accelerated reading books and playground equipment have been other products of the fundraising group. | am so pleased all our efforts have brought great benefits to the school and the children. | only ever joined the group because | was that mummy that wasn’t always at the school gate, | wanted to make sure my children and all the other children had access to all they needed and | leave content that we as a group have done all we could to achieve this even given the challenging covid environment and cost of living crisis.
| would like to thank all members of the Fundraising team past and present for all their contributions and effort. | fully appreciate we all juggle many different things but when it comes to it we have always showed up as the Fundraising Group despite all the chaos.
Thank you to Jim and the full school team all the teachers & assistants, Elaine, Marie, Kathleen and Tony. None of these events would be possible without teamwork and the support of the school. We appreciate this can be challenging with all the usual demands of school.
This year our events were overall well supported with one event cancelled (afternoon tea) and lower numbers than usual at our famous Blingo. The Muddy marathon, Christmas disco and end of year Funday proved to be our most popular events ~~.~~ The target was to support new and inclusive school playground furniture and sports equipment ~~.~~
£12,117 ~~.~~ 61 was raised in total we are delighted we have managed to maintain an average income of £10,000 year on year these are funds our school and children would not avail of otherwise ~~.~~ Thank you to all who continue to support the events ~~.~~
We will also bid farewell to our treasurer Rebecca this year, big shoes to fill! Thank you, Rebecca, for all your contributions and support.
| look forward to planning the 2026 events and handing over the reins at the end of the year...
Kind regards
Jackie Storrie Chairperson
