Why was the charlty sat up?
The Linlithgow Primary School Parent Council was established as a charity to
enable fundraising initiatives for the school, ensuring as much money raised as
possible goes to the school. This allows matched giving for parents who can boost
fundraising through their employers who offer to match the money raised by
employees. It also means we are eligible for Gifl Aid.

The charity helps the schcK)l and the children within it. Linlithgow Primary School is
the main catchment school for the town's social housing so through fundraising we
are able to subsidise activities to make them affordable for all.

Fundraising at the school helped in various ways. Children in their final year of
school were able to purchase leavers hoodies, subsidised by our charity to ensure
all families were able to afford them. We funded the children's Christmas parties
and pantomime. In addition, we funded the cost of costumes and accessories for
our children taking part in the Gala Day Parade. A donation was also made to the
school to fund laptop purchases and outdoor equipment.

Impact
The rnoney raised through our charity ensures that no children miss out on
schoollage group wide initiatives. The fundraising helps maintain the grounds of

the school and activities an facilities on those grounds. It is important that our
charity support the children in making the most of the school's outdoor facilities.
Financial review
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been
designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to
be￿een three and six month's expenditure. The Trustees considers that reserves
at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in fijnding, they will
be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to
ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been
maintained throughout the period.
The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and
are satisfied that system8 are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
