Who we are
The Friends of Bousfield, otherwise known as FoB, is a registered charity in England. Our purpose is to advance the education of pupils at Bousfield Primary School by organising social events, supporting fundraising efforts and fostering relationships between the staff and parents of the School.
The FoB is operated by a team of volunteer parents and carers of the School. Within the team, there are two main types of roles - Trustees and Champions. The FoB Trustees manage the legal, financial and governance aspects of the FoB and ensure its smooth running. FoB Champions lead the organisation of events and oversee key areas such as communications, design and partnerships.
Every parent and carer whose child joins the School is automatically a member of the FoB and we encourage everyone to get involved in any way they can.
OUR FUNDRAISING EVENTS
FREQUENLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
We understand that parents and carers are busy, so there are no strict expectations. There are roles and ways to get involved no matter your available time to commit. Trustees generally meet once a month (virtually) to administer the charity. Sub-committee teams meet at their own discretion based on forthcoming initiatives and everyone’s availability. In September, we hold our Annual General Meeting where priorities for the upcoming year are set and this meeting is open to all.
-
We communicate primarily over WhatsApp and email, and try to hold meetings virtually wherever possible.
-
The FoB is managed by 5 trustees. To learn more about who they are, scroll down or refer to the FoB Organization Chart.
-
There are many roles that form the FoB sub-committee, as well as new roles that emerge from specific needs. All roles are regularly updated in the FoB Organization Chart.
