Get involved
You do not have to join anything
The most useful thing most people can give us is half an hour, once. There is no rota, no commitment, and no expectation that you keep turning up.
This is the job
Someone has to be the doughnut
Sports Day, a wagon of Krispy Kremes, and a costume made of cardboard. Two hours of one Saturday, and the school got a set of playground zones out of it.
What half an hour gets you
- 30 minutes helps run a bake sale
- 2 hours helps run a disco
- An afternoon helps run the Christmas Fayre
- One phone call to a local business you know can bring in a raffle prize
- Whatever you do at work — accounts, design, licensing, first aid — almost certainly helps us run the charity better
The members’ WhatsApp group
Ideas, offers of help and "can anyone lend us a gazebo" all happen here. Ask any committee member to add you.
Joining the committee
The committee is elected at the AGM each September, and every position is open to any parent, carer or member of staff. It is a handful of meetings a year. If you are curious, come to the AGM and see what you think — there is no obligation to stand.
The AGM
Our AGM is in September in the staff room, with tea and cake. Everyone is welcome and nobody gets volunteered for anything on the spot.
