FRIENDS OF PUSS BANK SCHOOL

Friends of Puss Bank is the parent fundraising group for the school. We source funds to help the school to buy additional resources and services by means of holding events events for members of the school and their families/friends.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why is the Board completely female?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Children's mental well being is a top priority of the school and research has been undertaken into what can be done to nurture this, alongside a consultation with families and the children at school. Money secured through this project would be used to purchase the materials needed to have a 'Mental Health First Aid Kit' in each classroom. Access to these materials will be of benefit to all the children within the school improving their mood, ensuring calmer classroom environments where deeper learning can take place.
