Fundraising
All funds raised by parents and carers for the Wardie Family Forum go direct to the Wardie Charitable Trust (charity number SC04956) – and from there are donated to the school as and when the need arises. We fund school equipment, teaching aids, library resources, outdoor trips for the children, as well as operating the Opportunities Fund – the purpose of which is to provide financial support to help pupils attending Wardie Primary School overcome specific barriers to participation so they can participate fully in the various activities offered by the school.
The Fund is awarded to meet individual needs, for example, help with the cost of transport, books, clothing, school trips and equipment and administered by the Wardie Primary School Charitable Trust Trustees.
So have fun, and take a look at some of these very easy ways that you can help support our school and community.
