Fundraising. We organise events to be held at the school for the benefit and enjoyment of the children whilst raising money at the same time. This in turn is used to purchase items and equipment for the school to be used by the children to enhance their enjoyment and education as well as everyday skills. Under normal circumstances they are not covered by local government spending money.
