Like most PTAs, the majority of our funds are raised through the events that we run. Some of our most popular events are the Fairs, Ladies Night, Quiz Nights and Children's Discos. We've had a fashion show, barn dance, and a big success was a cake stall. All the cakes were donated by one of our talented grannies. So if you have a talent or a talented member of your family sign them up today!.

So you can see there is always something going on. We always try and respond to the children's requests for events and it is truly the icing on the cake to see them having fun at the events or enjoying using a piece of new equipment that the PTA has donated.

We are fortunate however to have other opportunities open to us to raise money. Donations are extremely important. These can be time, money, items for sale, donations for raffles or offers of services and skills.

As our PTA is a Registered Charity, we are able to raise money through Easy Fundraising and Charity Matched Giving schemes.
