The Association exists to raise funds for both The Link Primary School and The Link Secondary School and it has enjoyed fantastic support in its present form for a number of years. With only 85 pupils in total, it is hard to believe the amounts of money that we have been able to give to both schools over the last few years and this would not be possible without the hard work of everyone involved and the support of local businesses.
Registered with the Charities Commission, the Association is run by a duly elected Committee.
The current Officers are:
Ron Henstock - Joint Chair
Catherine Roffey - Joint Chair
Neil Roffey - Treasurer
Sue Locke - Secretary
Karen Pritchard - Newsletter Editor
We meet 3-4 times a year mainly to plan our next fund-raising event and these are informal and quite good fun. Although it is sometimes difficult for parents to attend these evening meetings there are many who contribute in other ways. This can be anything from sourcing prizes, selling raffle tickets to preparing and helping at the events.
At present, we hold two major events – the Christmas Fair and the Summer Fair – as well as a Disco at The Secondary School in the Spring Term. For the first time, last year we held a balloon race which was a great success and enjoyed by all the children who helped to release the balloons. While we aim to raise as much as possible, we are determined to make the events somewhere our children and parents can enjoy themselves (and they do!).
If you would like to contact the Association for any reason, this can be done through the school offices.
