ii/ If the event benefited from tax exemptions which applies to
fund-raising events.
iii/ The amount donated by the body running the event to charitable
causes, broken down by which [other] charities received donations
of money raised by the event.
iv/ The value of the contribution made to each event's finances by
the college. Including both cash contributions and waived charges
for products and services.
My request may well be fulfilled by releasing the annual report /
statement of accounts produced by the group organising the event.

For the attention of M MASH
I acknowledge your request on the subject of May Balls.
In the period in question May Balls organised by the student May Ball Committee have donated surpluses to the Prince's Trust.
No claims have been made for any tax exemption applying to fund raising events.
You will note that Magdalene May Balls occur every two years. The amount rendered to the Prince's Trust over the period is as follows:
2001 £5,000
2003 £1,250
2005 £650
2007 £3,000
No cash contribution, or waived charges for products or services was given by the College.
There will be a similar event in 2009 and it too will support the Princes' Trust.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your application then you should put your complaint in writing to me so that it can be reviewed by another College Officer.
