Say hello to our leadership committee for 2024/25!
The Friends of Great Denham is run by a committee of volunteers drawn from the parents, carers, and staff within the school. We currently have a group of around 30 volunteers to help by donating either their time or skills throughout the year – and more are always welcome to join!
As a charitable organisation, the committee has a leadership team who are elected to serve as administrators and take the lead in planning, promoting, and executing all our activities.
At the AGM held on 8th October 2024, members were voted into the roles as follows:
- Chair – Jodie Gibson
- Treasurer – Fiona Morrigan
- Secretary – Andy Canham
- Event Coordinators – Suzy Swann
- Volunteer Committee Member – Jennie Darnell
The Committee meets on a regular basis, usually once or twice per term, with smaller working groups meeting as necessary when we are planning larger events.
Don't forget! The Friends of Great Denham community is much bigger than the committee alone!
All families are automatically members of the Friends of Great Denham on joining our school! However, if you want to have a say in how the funds raised by FOGD are spent, you need to be an active participant; active members vote on every request for funds.
There are lots of ways you can help and support your child through the Friends of Great Denham. It doesn’t matter if you can’t help on a regular basis, or even if you can’t come into school. Whether you help one afternoon at a specific event, drop off some baked goods for our monthly Tuck Shop, or design up some posters – we appreciate that everyone will have different ways of supporting our goals!
