We need you!
Over the last two years, we have had an amazing time creating fundraising events we’re all really proud of. At the end of this academic year, some of our team are stepping down and we’re looking for new recruits.
Who we need
For FoK to keep going and fundraise for extra cash for the school, we need new members urgently.
We’re looking for the following roles: (the leadership roles can be individually or as a “jobshare”)
-
- Chair and Deputy Chair (Or Co-Chairs)
- Administrator for buying event stock (drinks, food etc) and other requirements
- General committee members
If we can’t fill these roles, we’ll need to redesign the committee which will result in a change to the number of events FoK can achieve throughout the year.
What we do
Fok has been in existence since the 1990s and is a registered charity. Last year we raised over £31,000 allowing us to fund the new OPAL play equipment, iPads, the new sandpit, school trips and much more!
By the end of this academic year we will have hosted six events including the flagship Winter Fair and Summer Party, alongside smaller events such as the parents’ and kids’ disco. All of these contribute to our school’s vibrant culture and community.
With budgets down and costs up, it’s a great opportunity to get involved in the school, understand their challenges and provide essential additional funding to enrich the school experience for all the kids.
What being on FOK is like:
It’s fun! Being part of the FOK committee is a great way to be at the heart of our school community and for those of us currently on the committee, we’ve had so much fun meeting new people, getting creative and bringing everyone together!
Time requirements vary – members devote different amounts of time, at different times – and we work hard to be supportive to one another. Some members have been with the committee for many years, and most have done a two year stint – the length of time is up to you!

A huge thank you!
…to everyone to joined in the fun, volunteered, lent us gazebos, helped us set up and tidy up!
We think we have a great community and the more you get behind us, the more we can fundraise for our brilliant school – so thank you!
Next week is the last week for a few of us, so we’ll send out a roundup of the year, including how much we raised at the Summer Fair – and our end of year total (plus some info on where the money is going to be spent!)
