What your organisation does
We try to contribute to the life of the school in a meaningful way, in order to support and compliment the work of the school and for the benefit of the children. We volunteer to assist with supervision, catering and preparation for a wide range of school events and activities. We hold events which are fun for both the parents and their children.
This has included fun days, treasure hunts, barbecues, breakfast with Santa, guess the baby competition and World Book Day parades. While our fund raising is important, of equal importance is our ability to promote social inclusion, to improve relationships within our school and wider community and to enhance and improve communication at all levels.
