The Trustees present their report and accounts for Mary Queen of Peace PTA for the year ended 31 August 2024.
Public Benefit Statement
The Trustees of Mary Queen of Peace PTA confirm that they have had due regard for the guidance on Public Benefit by CCNI and are pleased to report that during the period the group continued to provide the Public Benefits through the funding of additional resources for the primary school. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Public Benefit
The direct benefits which flow from our purpose include an active Parent and Teacher Association that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. The Association seeks to advance the education of all pupils in the school both in educational progress and links built with the local community.
Mary Queen of Peace PTA is made up of a group of elected parents and staff. As a group we aim to include all parents and staff in our operation. We do this by inviting parents and staff to share their skills and help at our events. We believe that good communication is the key to our PTA success and we publish information regularly on the school website and as appropriate through the school newsletter.
Achievements and Performance
Fundraising in 2023-24 was used for the annual Grandparents day, sacraments of communion and confirmation and a residential for the P7 class. A significant grant of £6,000 was received from Community Foundation NI and the Associaton used this for new sensory equipment in the school. We are very thankful to the community and grant providers for their support each year which allows us to deliver our public benefit objectives.
Mary Queen of Peace PTA is a non-profit making organisation. Total income for the year amounted to £8,644 while total expenditure amounted to £8,510.
The net income for the year amounted to £134 with net assets of £4,606 at 31 August 2024 represented by £4,101 of unrestricted funds and £505 restricted funds. The Trustees consider that Mary Queen of Peace PTA is in a satisfactory position to carry on its charitable activities.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024
1 Accounting policies
Policies relating to the production of the accounts.
Basis of preparation and accounting convention
The Accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 which are applicable to the financial years of registered charities beginning on or after 1 January 2016 or their date of registration with The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
Going Concern
The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods, are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.
Liability to taxation
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received.
Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
