In the charity's own words
Our main fundraisers are summer and Christmas fairs, though we also hold smaller events throughout the year. Our most recent expenditures have been on creating a 'global garden' in the reception area which was funded by a donation from a local business, ICT equipment/apps, sound equipment, play equipment and lots of re-vamping of the school grounds.
