Welcome to the Friends of St Mary's!Little things make a BIG difference - and we'd love you to be part of it!

Hi everyone!

I'm Jess, Chair of the Friends of St Mary's (FOSM). Alongside our lovely team of volunteers, we help raise money, create wonderful memories and make school life that little bit more special for our children!

And guess what? You're already part of FOSM! Every parent and carer is automatically a supporter when their child joins St Mary's.

What do we do?

We organise fun events that bring our school community together, including:

- Summer and Christmas Fair

- School Discos & Parties

- Luxury Raffles & Quiz Nights

- End of term drinks & Sports Day BBQs

- Pre-loved Uniform Sales

Where does the money go?

Every penny raised helps make a difference!

From outdoor classrooms and playground equipment to celebrity visitors, to an annual pantomime and Year 6 leavers' gifts - we help fund those special extras that school budgets can't always cover.

We'd LOVE your help!

You don't need lots of spare time or special skills - just a willingness to get involved!

Whether it's helping at an event, donating a raffle prize, sharing a creative talent or simply lending a hand for an hour, it all counts!

We know life is busy, and there's absolutely no pressure or big commitment. Help when you can - every little bit really does make a difference.

Come and join the fun!

FOSM is about more than fundraising. It's about friendships, community and making our children's school years extra special.

More helping hands = more fun, more events and more smiles!

Fancy getting involved or finding out more? We'd love to hear from you!
