Helping Angels PTFA
Who are Helping Angels?
We are a PTFA which stands for parent, teacher and friend association. That means everyone is welcome to get involved.
Registered Charity No: 1178065 Gift Aid Registration No: EW900027
What do Helping Angels do?
We work together as volunteers to raise funds and to support and provide other events for the children of Leesland Federation Infant and Junior schools.
How much time do I have to give?
It’s completely up to you. We are incredibly grateful for any time you can spare.
How often do you meet?
The Helping Angels meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 6 pm. We meet on Zoom and sometimes in The Gypsy Queen, opposite school. You don’t have to attend every meeting!
What is the money used for?
Our aim each year is to raise money to help provide the extras that the schools budget cannot afford. We also want to run fun, memorable events which the children will remember.
We have paid for educational programs like Kinetic Letters and wellbeing resources like Stormbreak. The Helping Angels have also bought summer parasols for the juniors, supplies for Outdoor Learning including waterproofs, a new basketball hoop and extra equipment for the library.
How do Helping Angels raise the money?
We organise many fun events throughout the school year. In the past these have included: discos, raffles, craft workshops, quiz nights, Frozen Fridays (where we sell ice lollies after school) and many more!
What else do we do?
We organise and run school discos twice a year for all year groups. Not forgetting the very popular Christmas shop where children get to come and choose presents to surprise you with!
We also contribute to the Year 6 Leavers Festival and the Year 2 moving on party and the pantomime.
We are always looking for new ideas so if any come to mind then please let us know.
