OUR VISION AND GETTING INVOLVED

 
OUR VISION
 
Our aim is to have a structured and effective organisation allowing us to help bride the gap in funding and provide enriching opportunities for the children and families of Wheatfields Primary School.  We will provide a social, welcoming and fun environment, forging new friendships and making a difference for all pupils.  The Committee will raise funds, arrange community events and activities and drive increased parent, carer and community participation in the school.
 
The Committee formally meets once every half term and EVERYONE is welcome - just drop us an email at pawscommittee@gmail.com so we can let you know when the next meeting is being held.
 
Alongside the Full Committee Meetings, there are sub-committees which meet ad-hoc to organise and plan the different events we put on.
 
We will let you know about these events through parent mail and our social media page on Facebook:
 
 
HOW CAN YOU BE INVOLVED?
 
You can join us for any committee meeting without being a Committee Member.  There are also many other ways in which you can help.  Firstly, you can join our email distribution list for helpers - we send out requests for help as and when needed and if you can help, then amazing!  Usually, we're asking for help to run a stall, set up and clean up events or seek out donations, but there are SO MANY skills you may have that can help to enrich your child's educational experience:
 
  • Donate raffle prizes or cakes when requested
  • Buy the items PAWS sells
  • Buy raffle tickets and/or sell them to your friends and family
  • Download the Easyfundraising.org.uk app and buy your Amazon, EBay and other online purchases through the app (it's a cash-back scheme that means PAWS receive a donation every time you use it and it costs you NOTHING)   https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk
  • Use Stikins the label company we are linked to for labelling your child's uniform www.stikins.co.uk/  Our fundraising number is 25114
  • Attend our events
  • See if your employer offers charity donations / match funding schemes / helping hand schemes - we can help you navigate this if you think your employer might run something
