Thanks to all the support of friends and families last year we have a good balance in our bank account to start this year.
OUR BIG PUSH THIS YEAR IS TO RAISE MONEY FOR A NEW SCHOOL BUS. Before the HSA took on its charity status we started managing the school mini bus. However we have found a need to upgrade this. It is used not only by the school in Wilton but all 3 schools—(Hindon & Bemerton), as well as for farm visits. We are setting up a HUGE raffle this year and need the assistance of everyone please. If you have your own business or work for a business that would donate a prize to our raffle it would be greatly appreciated.
FUNDRAISING THUS FAR... The Nearly New Sales were a real hit during the last couple of years which helped raise an average of £400/year. We have also run extremely fun and successful Easter Hunts where we had over 100 participants on a fabulous family fun filled day. The Christmas Fairs & raffles are our biggest fundraisers.
WHERE DOES THIS MONEY GO... In 2009 the HSA funded a TV to be placed in the entrance to Barn/Pre-Prep where recorded video and still photos would allow parents to see what the kids get up to all day. We are delighted to say that enough funds were raised to purchase the TV and contribute towards this year’s purchase of the play equipment and Interactive computer Screen. We also appreciate the voluntary contribution that most parents make towards the HSA in their school fees. |
