Chairperson’s report 01/09/2021 – 31/08/2022
Report by Gemma Kerswell-King- Chair
It is my honour to write this year's Chairperson's report for the Friends of Bowhill PTFA AGM.
The PTFA have worked really hard this year despite still facing challenges from covid, including once again seeing the Christmas Fayre cancelled. But this did not stop us and we raised an amazing £14,819.37, with the majority of events seeing record breaking amounts made, most notably the Summer Fete.
This astonishing figure has meant the PTFA have been able to donate the record amount of £8,750.73. With the majority going towards the new playground markings which were completed over the summer holidays.
The sole objective of the PTFA is to raise funds which can be spent on items and activities that enhance the children’s experience at Bowhill. With this in mind we are keen to increase our calendar of events which will not only raise money but provide fun activities for the school community. We look forward to working with Mrs Dentith and the Bowhill staff to ensure that we can achieve this in the upcoming year.
This year the PTFA team has changed dramatically with the resignation of Chair Jenny Sexton, Secretary Amy Furzer, and the departure of Kate BrazendaleSweet. In January we will also be seeing a change to the staff representative, with the departure of Debby Ward. I’m sure everyone would like to join me in thanking them for all the hard work and dedication they have put into the PTFA. Their advice and support to the new members this year has been astounding and very much appreciated, we certainly have big shoes to fill and hope to do them proud.
The team is full of enthusiasm and ideas for the upcoming year, and we are extremely keen to recruit new members and volunteers to strengthen it further. This will continue to be a focus for us throughout the year.
Personally, i would like to thank every member of the team, old and new, for all their hard work this year as well as making me feel so welcome and supported. I am extremely proud to be part of such a wonderful group and hope I can lead you as well as previous chairs have done.
Finally, we would not be able to raise money without the support of all families, friends and staff of Bowhill. So to every person who has given up their time to volunteer, baked a cake or bought a raffle ticket, thank you.
