Public benefits

Purpose 1 The direct benefit which flows from this includes having an active PTA which is able to fundraise, provide a number of events and activities for pupils at the school and their families, fund additional resources for the school and build links with the local community. This is demonstrated by having an active PTA that works in partnership

with the school and engages parental support. The direct benefit which flows from this includes supporting the educational progress and attainment of pupils in the school through the provision of resources, events and activities and by building links with the local community. This is demonstrated by pupils having access to resources, events, activities and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding. This purpose does not lead to harm. The benefit is for children at Abbey Primary school. 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.
