Dear Parents, Friends & Community,

As you may already be aware St Vincent’s PTA donates generously towards the cost of Coaches for School trips every year – it is one of our ongoing committed spends which costs us £6,500 with a breakdown of:

£5,000 direct to coach trips

£1,500 top up fund (if any trips or workshops need extra funding)

However, this is just over half of what the School requires financially to make these trips happen. Coaches are so very expensive, just a trip down to Hounslow costs close to £1,000 for 60 children!

Last year the money raised in this campaign managed to fund trips across the year groups as well as workshops. It really was amazing to be able to support the children this way. We have worked together with staff to create a wishlist of the trips they would like to take the children on this academic year and we would love to make them happen!

This year on top of all the other trips the Teachers are planning the PTA are looking to fund a Theatre & Musical based trip for at least one year group!!! We are hoping we could make this an annual tradition - possibly for one year group every year - more details will follow when we have worked out the financials but this money this fund raises will be essential to making this happen!!

We are very aware in this economic climate that parents may not be able to give more than they already do to the PTA, however, any amount given, small or big will go a long way towards supporting this initiative.

If you are able to give – please donate HERE :-)

We are forever grateful for any and all donations you can give!

St Vincent's PTA
