In the charity's own words
PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATIONThe main focus of activities has been to raise funds to purchase equipment and materials to support the learning of pupils in school. The children have benefited from "wow day" experiences such as skating on an artificial rink and receiving a ?5 subsidy towards a school trip. We have also held activities such as children's discos, story nights and summer fayre.
