Czech School & Community Manchester
Our mission is to create a welcoming and caring Saturday school that will provide children of Czech and Slovak origin with language lessons as well as an insight into the Czech and Slovak culture, traditions and heritage. We also offer English language, as well as Czech and Slovak language lessons for adults, support Czech and Slovak communities in Manchester and organise community events.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity monitors cash flow carefully to cover vital costs, although it has no official reserves policy. Per the trustees' report, the organization stabilized its finances in the post-pandemic environment by almost doubling its net profit. Main income sources include school fees, fundraising activities, and grants from Czech ministries.
What the accounts disclose
“Main income of the school is from the school fees. We keep them to the bare minimum as we want the school to be affordable to the widest possible community. The fees are supplemented by our fundraising activities during our events, such as raffle, food donations to our food stalls, etc. We are also recipients of grants from the Czech Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. Following the contractual agreement with the Department of Education we are recipients of a regular subsidy based on number of pupils, teaching costs and a coefficient as set up by the DofE of the Czech Republic.” — page 5
