ST JOHN & ST FRANCIS CHURCH SCHOOL PTA 

We organise social events for both children and adults to raise money. These include discos, bingo and fairs. We also organise events that enhance the education of the children, for example design competitions and science fairs. The money we raise is used to purchase equipment or fund events to enhance the children's education and experiences.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
Established: 9 years
