Help to Access Funding

Friends are looking for a parent or two with some experience in applying for grants and funding. Is this something you have done before for another organisation or at work? If you are able to help please let us know. We are looking to extend our fundraising capabilities to support our school with future projects and could do with your help.

WANTED! Parents & Carers

At the end of the school year, we will be saying a sad goodbye and a HUGE thank you to a substantial number of Year 6 parents who have played a significant part in FoF fundraising activities over the last few years. This will leave a huge gap, but also bring great opportunities for others to get involved. There are many ways to get involved that can fit with your own commitments so please consider getting in touch to find out more. Without you Friends of Fishergate can’t operate.

Employer Raffle Prizes

Do you work for an employer that likes to donate to the local community? We are looking for raffle prizes towards the Summer Fair in July. Please consider asking at work – we will be happy to give them a big shout out on SM and at the Fair itself for their generosity. Contact Ali & Friends directly using friendsoffishergateschool@gmail.comFriends of Fishergate

FoF *FREE* second hand uniform stall

Do you love a bargain? Is “free” your favourite price?! 

Friends of Fishergate will be running a completely FREE (zero pence required) second hand uniform stall on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th November in the lower school hall straight after school, so come along and stock up. 

We have red jumpers, grey trousers, skirts and pinafores in many sizes. We also have shorts and some summer dresses if you want to be smug and get organised for next year!

So please don’t be shy, think of the money you could save and the environmental benefits of not buying new.
