In the charity's own words
FOBGS was set up in 1989 to raise funds for a new kitchen extension and subsequently a new classroom extension in 2005. In recent years, fund raising activities have been scaled down to providing fun events and activities for the children throughout the year. In 2009 we had the go ahead for a new classroom so fund raising is being stepped up to help fund this.
