Friends of Gainford School (FOGS)

Friends of Gainford School are a  group of parents and teachers who meet, plan and organise fundraising events and provide support for school events. The group is open to anyone who wants to work together to raise money for the school to make our children’s experience at Gainford  as rewarding and fulfilling as possible.

We hold numerous events throughout the year; fairs, games nights, discos and car boot sales to name a few!

In order for these fundraisers to be successful we need a strong team to plan and execute each event and to help out on the frontline and behind the scenes, whether it be baking cakes for the cake stall or serving in the kitchen at the disco! The Friends have raised thousands of pounds over the past years making a huge difference to the school environment and beyond.

We are always on the lookout for new members and new ideas for fundraising. Fogs would love to welcome some new faces to our group so if you think you could help out in any way, even if you can’t get to meetings, please get in touch! Email the school if you would like more information about FoGS .
