Our charity cannot function without volunteers like you!

 As a "Friends of...." charity we are able to have committee members and volunteers from the wider community as well as the school community. Whether you are a parent, relative, school alumni or member of the community that would like to support our school, all volunteers are welcome.

If you have a child completing Duke of Edinburgh, or has a volunteering requirement at Sixth Form, we would love to support them.

Any volunteer that has direct contact children will need a DBS certificate but to help and support at fundraising events this is not needed.

Volunteers not only make up our elected committee but also plan, organise and run fundraising events...every hour helps!

Does your workplace offer Match Funding? 

What is Match funding?

Many companies throughout the UK offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise. It really is money for nothing, and your PTA could double the amount of cash it raises with very little effort.

‘Match giving or match funding is a simple way of maximising the fundraising efforts of your individual PTA volunteers. It is an informal albeit corporate arrangement between a company and their employee. Not all companies offer matched funding but those that do will pledge a sum of money relating to the amount their employee has raised for or donated to the charity of their choice. Some organisations will match fund on a £ for £ basis, others will stipulate what they are prepared to give. It is likely that an upper limit will be applied along with certain criteria such as the recipient organisation being a registered charity. Some companies will also pledge time and resources instead of money, so enabling their employees to support a cause during their working week, or offering a tangible service such as the opportunity to print posters, programmes, newsletters and so on.’
