Friends group registers as charity, applies for grants and maximises the impact of their events to provide children with a much-needed new scooter shelter. This is their story.
With the school needing a new temporary structure to protect the swimming pool every five to seven years, the PTA set their minds to the ambitious project of fundraising for a permanent enclosure and pulled out all the stops to reach their target.
The PSA coordinated a dedicated fundraising year, which they called 'The Sparkle Project', and which exceeded all expectations, enabling the school to fund substantial repairs.
A £50,000 goal seemed out of reach until the Friends at Appleton C of E Primary School put on their business hats.
When a flood overwhelmed the school, the PTFA mobilised into action and helped with relief work, with keeping parents informed and with coordinating the local community members who wanted to volunteer and donate.
