EXCITING NEWS!
The order has been placed, and the countdown is on! The Friends of George Spicer School charity are excited to reveal that we are donating some brand new interactive fitness boards to the school for use on the Sketty Road site. These are designed to inspire active play and physical engagement, making fitness fun and accessible throughout the school day. We will keep you posted as to when they will be available for use!
As you know, Friends of George Spicer (FoGS) are a charity that is independent to the school. All profits we raise from our fundraising activities go towards this years £15K fundraising target for new outdoor learning spaces, games and activities for both the Kimberley Gardens and Sketty Road sites.
Our recent Year 3 and Year 5 Glow Discos raised a huge £730, and the Valentines Day non-uniform fundraiser also raised £478 - taking our total this year so far to a fantastic​
🌟£7,800🌟

We are always looking for parent / carer volunteers to help us to manage and run our events - without your support we are unable to provide these events that are not only fun for the children, but also raise vital pennies towards extra provisions for the school. If you would like to volunteer, or want to find out more about ways you can support our work, please get in contact.
We're looking for a new Treasurer & Secretary to support our charity from April onwards. If you are interested, or would like to find out more about what these roles involve, please speak to a member of the FoGS Team, or send us an email.
