Your school has completed a trial Community Partnership Week, in which all 400 students joined a project with a local organisation. The headteacher must decide whether the week should return next year. The maximum budget available next year is £5,500.
Project leaders recorded the following information. The proportion of planned work completed shows how much of each project's intended community work was achieved.

| Community garden restoration | 78 | 86% | 92% | £1,300 | Rain caused one session to be cancelled. |
| Digital support for older residents | 46 | 93% | 58% | £850 | Only 21 of the 36 residents who booked attended. |
