Orchard County Primary School PTA Committee and Financial Report
The PTA has a constitution which was adopted in May 2018 and is run by a committee of volunteer members who are elected by the members at each AGM. All PTAs in Northern Ireland must register with the Charity Commission so these committee members are also trustees for the PTA and are in charge of the bank account the PTA holds with the Ulster Bank to carry out its business.
Committee Members and Trustees for the year 01.09.2022 -31.08.2023: Chair: Rhonda Tedford * Vice Chair: Carolyn Davison Secretary: Emma Pedlow Vice Secretary: Alanna Halliday Treasurer: Deborah Gilmore * Vice Treasurer: Emma Manton * * are signatories of the Bank Account
Report for the financial year 01.09.2022 to 31.08.2023
The committee resumed face to face meetings which greatly assisted in the organisation of fundraising activities.
We continued to receive money (£272.00) from the Textile Recycling Bank, located at the side of the school and £892.10 from EasyFundraising, an App for online shopping which donates money to the PTA without costing the shoppers an extra penny.
Other income came from commission earned on School NameTags (£144.00) and from the sales of Christmas Cards (£91.90). Fundraising activities during the year included a Royal Coin Trail, Scavenger Hunt, Christmas Raffle, Easter Bop and a raffle /refreshment stand at Sports Day. Income raised from these activities totalled £2,513.42 which after expenses of £522.43 generated £1,990.99.
PTA Chairperson Rhonda Tedford made an application on behalf of the school to HSBC who awarded match funding of £500.00.
The above activities enabled the PTA to facilitate the purchase of 1 x interactive panel at a cost of £2,150.00 and contribute £2,330.00 towards a new projector. A secondary school tie for each of the P7 pupils, presented at the End of Year Assembly and Prize Day, was once again purchased to say thank you to their parents for their years of support. Additionally the PTA paid for selection boxes for the pupils at Christmas.
Membership of Parentkind was renewed again which includes insurance to cover PTA activities.
