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 Cairnshill 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.

What your organisation does

Our organisation is made up of a group of elected mums, dads 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 and looking for parental/ staff skills to help at events. We believe that good communication is key and that is why

we publish regular news letters and keep the website updated. Every year we organise a calender of fundraising activities and these include family and children only events examples of these last year were Christmas Fair and Childrens Coin Trail. 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.
