Wallands Community Primary and Nursery School

About Friends of Wallands

Friends of Wallands (FoW) is a registered charity, run by a group of friendly parents, and supported by many wonderful Wallands volunteers and staff. Every parent and carer is automatically part of Friends of Wallands and everyone is welcome to get as involved as they would like.

Our events raise money for new school equipment, e.g. for sports, creative activities, music, IT and more, helping to fund school improvements such as book corners, play equipment and nurture areas and making special trips and experiences available for all our year groups and support the annual Patina entry and year 6 transition.

Fundraising is a team effort and whether you bake a cake, donate your jumble or come along to any of the varied events we organise, every bit of help is so valuable to our school.

We appreciate how busy everyone is, just an hour a month would help us, and also that some parents may prefer to offer a skill set rather than help at an event. Every bit of help goes a long way to ensure we can continue to offer these fantastic events in order to support the school.

All parents have skills that can help the and we’re grateful for any time you can contribute – even if it’s only 20 minutes a year.

FOW is keen to expand its committee membership!

We generally meet on the first Monday evening of each month, at St Mary’s social club at 8pm (see our meeting dates posted in the monthly school newsletter and/or on the class WhatsApp’s in case of changes). All parents and staff are welcome to attend - every parent and carer is automatically part of Friends of Wallands - we would love to see you there.
