If you would like to find out more about the work of the Friends, please make contact via the Development Office. According to your interests, we will then invite you to meet one of our existing committee members, to find out a bit more about current projects and opportunities.
Many of our Trustees started out as new parents to the School, joining a friendly and hard-working group of like-minded people, as a way of getting to know other parents. And even after their children have left School, we have parents who have chosen to remain as Trustees to this day. We would be delighted to welcome you too to the Friends of Wellington School.
We have recently started two initiatives to boost our funds. The first is easy for all parents to do and you can raise money for the School whilst doing your Christmas shopping. We have set up an online shopping app with easyfundraising which means you can turn your everyday online shopping into FREE donations for Wellington School. When you use easyfundraising to shop with any of the 4,000 registered retailers, the retailer makes a small donation to say thank you and easyfundraising send those free funds to you’re the Friends of Wellington School. You can find more information here.
The second is Match-funding fundraising. Many companies throughout the UK offer employees the chance to support fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise. This means that an employee who volunteers at a Friends of Wellington School event can then apply to their employer for match funding. Sometimes organisations will match £ for £ and others will specify what they are prepared to give. Follow this link for further information.
