The Friends of Swaffham Prior School have had a very successful fundraising
year enabling us to purchase four new computers, a multimedia projector and
books for the school, as well as providing a Christmas entertainer for the
children and funding various running costs for the swimming pool. Many thanks
to the many people in the village who have supported our fundraising events,
especially the sponsored Parachute Jump by Jenny McMahon (which raised
£1,052.76), the Summer Fair (£1,131.00), the Barrow of Booze (£634.70) and the
Ladies' Indulgence Evening (£433.00).
One third of the money raised by the Parachute Jump has been donated to the East Anglian Air Ambulance - you may have spotted their helicopter at the start of October when they visited the school to receive their cheque. The remainder of the money from the Parachute Jump Đand the focus for our fundraising for the rest of the year - is to purchase new outdoor play equipment for the playground in front of the school. An order has already been placed for the first items of "trim trail" equipment.
Our next fundraising event is the Christmas Fair which will take place at 3.00pm in the School Hall on 29 November. There will be mulled wine and mince pies and the opportunity to pick up cards and gifts for Christmas. Everyone is welcome - we hope to see you there!
