Welcome to the Friends of Fairlop Primary School (FOFPS)!
About the FOFPS Charity
Charity Number 1023550
The Friends of Fairlop have been raising money for the children of Fairlop for many years. We have held a range of events including discos, film nights, fun days, inflatable events, pop-up shops, pamper evenings, food extravaganzas and fetes.
In the past we have raised money for an upgrade to the sensory room, the library, computer equipment in classes, the sound system, sports kits, the adventure trail, the Early Years pirate ship, iPad leasing and we have provided treats for every child in the school at special occasions throughout the year.
We are always looking for parents and friends to support our committee with new ideas and some of your time. In the past our community have contributed in various ways such as donations for raffles, help with ticket sales, fund raising ideas, small or large amounts of volunteering time, food donations, financial gifts and support at events!
