Who are we?

We are you! If you are a parent of a child at The Winns Primary School or a member of staff at the school, you’re automatically a Friends of The Winns member – your membership begins on your child’s first day at the school and ends when your last child leaves us. Being part of Friends of The Winns is also a great way of meeting people and to find out what’s going on throughout the whole school.

What do we do?

Run by a committee of parents, the Friends of the Winns is a collection of volunteers who run events throughout the year to raise much needed funds for our school. But most importantly, we have fun!

What can you do to help?

VOLUNTEER – The Friends of the Winns are always on the lookout for new volunteers. Maybe you would like to run a fundraising event or help at one of the fairs? You can give as much of your time as you want, an extra pair of hands is always appreciated.

DONATE – You can donate by sponsoring your child at one of our events or through the Charities Aid Foundation where you can make a one-off donation or set up a regular one. All the details can be found here: https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/26249#!/DonationDetails

EASYFUNDRAISING – Easyfundraising is a simple way for you to support the school. Over 7,500 brands will donate to Friends of the Winns for free every time you use the app or browser extension to shop. It costs you nothing extra!

We want to hear from you!

We welcome anyone who wants to get involved. You can help out at specific events, like our Winter and Summer Fairs, or volunteer on an ad-hoc basis. We need all types of skills from running a stall and folding paper to sourcing gifts for a raffle. Go on, get involved!
