Friends of Boasley Cross Primary School: FOBCS
Who we are:
The Friends of Boasley Cross School (FOBCS for short) is a registered charity. Our committee is currently made up of a group of 10 parent volunteers. What we do: FOBCS has existed for many years as active fundraisers. Our aim is to raise funds to enable the school to purchase extra equipment/resources and to contribute to the funding of educational trips to enhance the children’s learning. The committee meets once every half term, usually at 8pm in The Clovelly Inn. We are a very friendly and welcoming group. Our meetings are relaxed and often rounded off with sandwiches and chips with the compliments of Suzy, the Landlady! What we need: We love to welcome new members as we always need fresh ideas and help with events. If you would like more information please contact the school on 01837 871362. |
Remember:
When you do any online shopping, please go through the Easy Fundraising website and school will receive a percentage of everything you spend without you having to do a thing! |
