FRIENDS OF BELHAM
|
Friends of Belham (FoB) is run by school parents and guardians to organise events that bring the school community together, and to raise funds that support the school and enhance the education of all pupils.
All parents and guardians are automatically members of FoB, as are teachers and non-teaching staff. We have a committee of elected volunteer trustees who run the admin side of things, as we are a registered charity. Class representatives help to organise and run events, communicate with their year groups, and help to make decisions at meetings. Our meetings are open to all. |
|
If you have an idea for an event, a skill to offer, or just want to get involved, please do get in touch at friendsofbelham@gmail.com, or speak to any committee member or class rep.
We communicate through weekly 'Friends' Friendly' newsletters that are circulated with the school's Belham Buzz; find these on the News page. We also use the WhatsApp groups that every school year has to spread the word. We don’t run the groups but contact us if you wish to join the group for your children’s year(s).
Friends of Belham is a registered charity, number 1168767. The committee are the trustees of the charity and are elected annually by the members at an AGM. The constitution, accounts, and annual reports may be requested for inspection by any member.

We'd love to collect a list of skills and equipment, professional and amateur, that could be drawn upon for our events - everything from face painters to access to a van, from musicians to carpenters and bakers - please drop us an email if you can help in any way.
