From the Swansfield Park Primary School
We are all parents who support Swansfield Park Primary School, and as such, the committee depends on your support of our fundraising efforts. You can do this by bringing your kids to the events we plan, purchasing raffle tickets, contributing prizes, or volunteering at the events.
All of the funds generated are reinvested in the school; we provide a Christmas lunch for the students; we frequently have the funds to pay for the bus rental for field excursions; and we are now purchasing football uniforms for the school teams.
We are keen to set up a group, whether that is via email or a 'What's App' group where we can communicate with people who have expressed an interest in helping at future events, this way we can coordinate offers of help and know in advance if we have enough volunteers.
Please get in touch with us at the aforementioned email address if you want your email or mobile number to be added to our list of potential assistance.
The next friends meeting will be held on Thursday, November 16 at 6 p.m. in the school. If you'd like to meet us and learn more about our future plans, volunteer for an event, or if you have any fundraising suggestions, please let us know.
Using www.easyfundraising.org.uk when you shop online is another way to support the Friends of Swansfield Park Primary.
