Join the 'Friends of Long Lawford School' (FOLLS) in helping to raise funds for school
FOLLS
FOLLS hold an annual general meeting (AGM), in conjunction with school staff every September at the start of the school year. At this meeting a committee is elected to run the PTA.
How is money spent
Funds raised by FOLLS are intended to provide ‘extras’ not already provided by the school's main income – often 'fun things' that make learning more interesting and exciting. By far our biggest expenditure is covering the cost of pantomime tickets for all children. We also provide a free book bag to all children starting nursery or reception at the school, as well as reading books, technical equipment, subsidising the cost of school trips and other little extras.
Our main fundraising aim for the upcoming year is to raise funds for outdoor play equipment - something that all children can enjoy and benefit from.
How is money raised
Every year FOLLS raises thousands of pounds for the school. The majority of this is through events. We aim to hold one main event each school term. Over the next year we will be running our popular termly discos, a Christmas and Easter Bingo, craft and activity evenings and a big summer event. We also run the school uniform shop and Friday Treats as well as selling refreshments at events like parents evening and sports days.
How can I get involved?
There are many different ways you can help FOLLS, whether you have a lot or a little bit of time to offer. Some roles are time-consuming, although rewarding. If you can’t commit to a big job, you could offer to help out less frequently (i.e., helping at a disco, baking for a cake sale, helping with organising behind the scenes etc). You can always support our events by simply showing up and spreading the word.
