It's easy to get carried away with planning loads of events and sales, but we wanted to get the balance right so that we aren't constantly asking for sponsorship or donations. Ideally, we would be able to find things to sell to parents at a good price that they would have bought anyway, resulting in a win-win situation!
We will be running the usual Mother's Day Secret Sale in a few weeks' time, with some pre-wrapped gifts for the mums that the children can buy cheaply. We'll also run a Secret Sale for Father's Day in June, although we might try something a little different this time - more details to follow a little later...

Update June 14 - we have now launched the Father's Day Golden Ticket Fundraiser.

For the green-fingered amongst you, we will be selling the usual bedding plants and hanging baskets in May, helping you fill your gardens with lots of lovely bright flowers.

Update June 14 - sadly due to a shortage in volunteers we were unable to organise the plants this year.
With the building works not due to complete until the end of the Summer Holidays, we won't be able to hold a Summer Fayre this year. However, we would still like to run some fundraising events - something for families and perhaps another band night for the adults. We'll add more details over the next few weeks...

Update June 14 - we are planning a Summer Garden Party picnic after school on Friday 20th June 2014... subject to weather!!
Our main focus for fundraising this year will be to buy some playground equipment. When the new building is completed, it would be great for the children to have something to play on. With the support of the staff, parents and local community, I think we can make a real effort in the remainder of this year to raise the money needed.
