FOT
Friends of Townfield (FOT)
Friends of Townfield are a group of supportive parents, carers and staff who work together to organise and run fundraising events for TPS. Their passion and commitment is what drives the amazing work they do.
Unfortunately, due to the effects of the global Cornona Virus pandemic, fundraising had to come to a halt, but under the very capable direction of our new Chair and Co Chair, momentum is picking up fast! Tuck & Toy Shop has started on a Friday after school, together with the addition of Lost Property, which means both children and parent/carers are benefiting from the wonderful volunteers we have at Townfield Primary.
To ensure a collaborative approach to all fundraising, Mrs Ellis and Miss Rees, along with FOT members regularly communicate with the Headteacher and school regarding fundraising events. School are extremely appreciative of all efforts by the school community to raise money for our children.
What are FOT raising money for?
2021
The main fundraising aim will be to fund a present from Father Christmas. Already fundraising is going really well and we thank not only those helping with volunteering, but all those parents who are supporting our fundraising by sending in your donations and purchasing Christmas raffle tickets and cakes. This collaborative approach to fundraising means not only will our children have a very special visit from Father Christmas and his Elf before the end of term, but we will also hopefully be in good stead for next year.
Thank you everyone for all your support.
2022
There are plenty of fundraising plans for next year and details of these will be communicated to the school community in due course.
How do I get involved?
If you want to get involved, please email Friends of Townfield. For those who want to help, but are unable to offer time due to work commitments, your support by contributing to our fundraising events is the best way for you to help. After all, without all your generous donations, FOT wouldn't be successful.
I have a suggestion?
If you want to get involved, the best way is to join FOT. We understand that due to busy lives, committing time is not possible for a lot of parents so if you have any suggestions or ideas, please submit any ideas here and any ideas will be raised with the Headteacher/School during any meetings scheduled.
