Sponsored circuits were very disappointing this year as they normally raise over £1200. Concern also raised that with current members of the committee & regular helpers children leaving school this year, FOB’s will struggle to continue running if more new helpers do not come forward. This will have a detrimental impact on the school and the funds that it spends. Along with the activities and events that take place.
