In the charity's own words
Friends organise 4 to 5 major social events plus a range of other fundraising activities through out the year. A key objective is to run every event profitably (whilst representing good value to participating parties) so that grants can be made to the school and other organisations , or equipment purchased , for academic and extra-curricular activities which the school could not otherwise fund.
