Purpose 1: Improved relationships between home and school The benefit which flows from this purpose includes funding for additional resources for the school and links built with the local community. This is demonstrated through having an active PTFA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. This purpose does not lead

to harm. The benefit is for children at Moat Primary School. Charity trustees (PTFA 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.

We do this by inviting parents and staff to share their skills and help at our events, for example face painting at our Summer Fete or helping serve refreshments at our

Christmas Fair, Sports day, or becoming quiz master at one of our quiz nights.
