Public benefits
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 PTA that works in partnership with the school and engages parental support. This purpose does not lead to
harm. The benefit is for children at St. Patrick's Primary school, Mullanaskea. Charity trustees (PTA 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. 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. This is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding.

What your organisation does
Our organisation is made up of a group of elected parents and staff. As a group we strive to ensure that all parents and staff are actively involved in our operation. We do this by seeking regular feedback on events and operation, looking for parental/ staff skills to help at events. We believe that good communication is key and that is why we
publish regular newsletters, ezines and keep the website updated. We have also developed close links with the local controlled school actively supporting the shared education programme, by funding transport costs permitting various events across all age groups to take place throughout the year. Through the PTA's and schools working together we are improving cross community relationships. Every year we organise a calendar of fundraising activities and these include family and children only events examples of these last year were children’s art exhibition and Hallowe’en themed night. Alongside the school we agree the expenditure of funds in that they will always be used to purchase educational resources or equipment for all the pupils in the school.
