Hi all,

Can you spare £3 for Slaley First School? 💙

Small donation. Big impact. Lasting difference.

FoSS has launched The £3 Challenge to help raise the final funds needed for our outdoor learning log cabin.

We’re asking as many people as possible to donate just £3.
And if you’re able to give more, that would be amazing too.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us get closer to creating something really special for the children.

Please support if you can and share our page with friends, family and the wider community.

A brilliant start to Tanga in the woods yesterday! Robbie and Tom did lots of activities like den building and fire lighting, there were katana matches (may have been sticks), bbq lunch, toasted marshmallows and all the usual art and crafty stuff. The new hammocks were a big hit and the area looked great! All sold out for the holidays but we will be announcing some new sessions and other things very soon! Huge thanks to our funders The Badur Foundation and to Charles as always :)
