In the charity's own words
Our organisation works with volunteers from both the school and the parents/carers, bringing them together at fund raising events such as the Christmas and Summer Fairs. Funds raised are then available to enhance the educational experience of pupils at the school, for example through provision of specialist equipment or subsidy of enriching experiences.
