FRIENDS OF GREAT BOOKHAM SCHOOL 

We are a group of parents and staff who fundraise for the benefit of the children at The Dawnay School. We hold many events such as the Christmas Fair, Summer Fair, School discos etc we also apply for grants and sponsorship. Alongside this we endeavor to help the school in practical ways such as open morning refreshments and guides.

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently
