St Patrick's Parent Association

Registered

Charity no. 109422 Date registered. 17/05/2023

Public benefits

Purpose 1: Effective relationships between parents and the school. The benefit which flows from this purpose includes funding for additional resources for the school and links built with the local community. Purpose 2: Advancing the education of pupils in the school. The benefit which flows from this purpose includes increased educational progress

and attainment of pupils in the school and links built with the local community. Purpose 1 is demonstrated through having an active Parent Association that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. Purpose 2 is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding. No harm arises from either purpose. The benefit is for: 1) Children attending St Patrick’s Primary School. 2) Parents/guardians of pupils attending St Patrick's Primary School. 3) Local community (school catchment area). Charity trustees (Parent Association committee members) are usually also parents at the school which their children attend and hence gain benefit in the same way as all other beneficiaries. This benefit is incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to all beneficiaries.
