We aim to:

• Provide opportunities for families to get in touch with one another through a forum for support and sharing
• Be involved in the life of the school, from supporting events to enhancing the experiences of our children
• Raise money to be used for the direct benefit of pupils

How we do it:

The Friends of Dawn House organises shops in school for special days such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, for Christmas so children can purchase gifts for their family and friends, a Summer Fayre during sports day and a Christmas Fayre alongside the Christmas show.

Benefits for our pupils:

Funds raised through activities have been used to benefit children in school. Examples include furnishing the Wellbeing Suite, purchasing the outdoor classroom, outdoor play equipment for Key Stage 2 and additional specialist resources for the Occupational Therapy department.

How you can support our work:

• Amazon Wish List: Wish List
• Purchase a lottery ticket from the Robin Hood Lottery.
• Volunteer your time to paint a room or help out at the Christmas Fayre.
• Take part in a challenge event – you can do anything from running a 5K to a whole marathon, and we’ll be there every step of the way.
• Plan your own event such as a bake sale or a pub quiz.
• Donate items that we can use in a raffle or tombola, or that we can sell. These can be anything ranging from cakes for our regular cake sales, to unwanted gifts, clothing or household items for our Pop Up Charity Shop.
• Make a donation (please contact us for further details)
