Fundraising
Many don’t realise but Middleton Cheney Pre School is a charity organisation. This means we’re not allowed to make a large profit and have to carefully balance our running costs. Grant income and fees, predominantly go towards staff, building costs and for material costs such as stationery, glitter, stickers, toilet paper and so on (i.e. the things we need to keep running). Larger items and projects we need to fundraise for.
Over the past few years, we’ve been very fortunate and fundraising has allowed us to do many amazing things. This includes improving our outdoor areas creating amazing spaces for children to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year. We’ve also replaced dressing up clothes, bought a new dolls house and invested in the large interactive screen plus a new stereo system.
If you can help in any way, we’d love to hear from you. We’re hoping if everyone just does a little, it’ll lighten the load and also help build a bit of a pre school community where everyone gets a chance to help and become involved. More details will be sent home to parents as meetings get scheduled and events are coming up. The fundraising noticeboard in the foyer will also be kept up to date as will the Friends of Middleton Cheney facebook site. If you would like any further information, or are interested in joining the committee please email admin@mcpreschool.co.uk.
