Fundraising Committee
The Fundraising committee comprises of current and past playgroup parents who are interested in supporting the playgroup and improving provisions and facilities for their own and future children. We really need and welcome new members.
Anyone with interest (Parents, Grandparents, Carers etc.) can join and we meet as needed with meetings being more frequent in the run up to a bigger event. Some members dip in and out throughout the year depending on other demands on their time.
We meet occasionally at one of our houses with the children in tow or in the pub in the evening over a glass of wine or two! As a team we share the load, taking on responsibilities which enable events to go ahead successfully and smoothly. We have great fun in the process!
The fundraising money pays for all the things Playgroup need that the fees don’t cover and we are able to provide some wonderful resources which they would not have otherwise
New Fundraising Chair – Rachel
Hi, my name is Rachel Ogier and I have taken over the role of Fundraising Chair from Sam West. My son Nate started in September and is thoroughly enjoying his time at the playgroup. My other son Charlie is 2 and is just as at home in the playgroup. I used to be a Pensions Manager in London, but became a full time mum when I realised a 15 month age gap would actually be quite hard work!
I have just started organising Bengeo playgroup’s Spring Fun Day, which will be held on Saturday 14th May. Sam West has kindly agreed to offer some help in the organisation of the event. However I will be in need of help from as many of you as possible on the day to help set up, run stalls, clear up etc
Finally I would like to say on behalf of everyone at the playgroup, a huge thank you for all your hard work Sam, you have done a fantastic job.
