Friends of the John Frost School

Friends of TJFS are parents, teachers and friends who help with fundraising as part of the school community and the PTA UK network. Over the years we have purchased many items and the group has organised the school prom since 2005. We contribute towards school trips, provide equipment and books for various departments, and support events at the school.

Figures as the charity reported them to the Charity Commission. Staff and volunteer numbers are only asked of charities with income over £10,000. A year with no row was not reported.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 1 grant to this charity, worth £10,000, awarded in 2023.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

3 trustees run the charity.
