The Friends of The Holt raise funds through various events which are donated to the school to help provide 'extras” for our students. Over the last five years, the funds have contributed to the purchase of outside canopies, fitting out of new technology classrooms with CAD/CAM equipment as well as computers, screens and projectors in classrooms and an audio/visual system in the sports hall. The funds have also been used to buy display boards for House events and House gazebos for outside events alongside benches and landscaping.
To date we fundraise through doughnut sales twice a year, a tombola at the Christmas fair and the colour run on sports day. These events raise around £5000 a year. We have noticed, however, over the last few years, parents have less time and energy to give to organise and attend fundraising events. Many tell us that they would prefer to donate money to the school in lieu of attending events. We understand this sentiment, life is busy for sure!
The Friends of the Holt is a registered charity (number 1013765). We spend the funds raised by The Friends of The Holt very carefully, making sure the benefits of the items purchased reach the students. There is a Friends committee that meets once a term to discuss the income and expenditure and accounts are audited once a year.
Please do contact us if you want more information and we appreciate any contributions.
