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. 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 PTA 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 children at St Comgall’s Primary school, Antrim. 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

The St Comgall's Fundraising Group works collaboratively with the school Principal and wider school community to identify the funding requirements for the school. The committee consists mainly of parents and is supported by the staff, pupils and their families to arrange a variety of events and activities throughout the year to raise funds for the

school. We establish an annual programme of events such as Christmas Jumper day, sponsored walks, cinema nights. These events are designed to engage the school community to support the work of the group and raise funds to benefit the children at the school eg provision of outdoor play facilities, tablet technology etc.
