Welcome

Welcome to the Uplands Fundraising Community (UFC), which is our version of a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). We are a registered charity, and are a community for all members of the school: families, staff and governors, as well as local businesses. We feel this was the best way to support our fundamental aim of fundraising. However, we can only do this with everyone’s support!

The UFC works best when working under the motto of ‘many hands make light work’. We do need people to lead certain events, but we also need helpers who can offer different amounts of time, expertise and support!

Our sole aim is to raise money for the school and nursery, in order to support the learning and development of our pupils and give them the best experience possible.

Following our AGM on the 10 November 2020, our elected UFC members are:

Chair – VACANT – Phil Sherwood (Headteacher) is acting Chair currently

Vice Chair – Heather Powell (Y4 Parent)

Treasurer – Sam McCann (Teaching Assistant and Governor)

Secretary – Alison Buckley (Yr 6 Parent)

Below are the Class reps for 2020/2021:

We’d like to say thank you for all the support we received last year from the outgoing Class reps. If you are interested in being a Class rep, please email ufc.chair@uplandsberkshire.org

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 24 November at 19:00 via Zoom. Please email ufc.chair@uplandsberkshire.org in order to receive a Zoom invitation.

If you have any ideas of how we can raise money (you don’t have to be available to attend the meeting to put ideas forward), please email ufc.chair@uplandsberkshire.org. Thank you.

What is the UFC?

What is the UFC?

The UFC is an organised charity of the school run by the parents, guardians and staff of the children attending Uplands Primary School and Nursery. The UFC organise a variety of events with the aim of raising money to help advance of the education of the children within the school. The UFC have been instrumental in raising funds to provide enhanced provisions for the children of Uplands Primary School and Nursery, including outside resources, electronic devices and experience events for the children.

Module Code: content-paragraph

Who is involved?

All parents and staff are involved in the UFC in some way, ranging from donating cupcakes for a cake sale to being a committee member, and both ends of the spectrum are as important as each other.

Module Code: content-paragraph

Who sits on the Committee?

The committee consists of: the Headteacher (or a designated staff representative), Chairperson/s, Vice Chair/s, Treasurer, Secretary and the members of the UFC who attend the meetings and run events.

Module Code: content-paragraph

When are the meetings?

The meetings are arranged at the end of the previous meeting and noted in the minutes. This is so we can be flexible with dates depending on the time of year. Times of meeting are varied to allow a range of parents to be able to attend. Meetings have, in the past, been held at the beginning of the school day, end of the school day and in the evening.

How can you contribute?

All family members within our community are invited to contribute in whatever way they can. Time is one of the biggest commitments that a member can give, but we are aware that not everyone can give the same amount of time. You may not be able to give a lot of time to the UFC, but we would love any ideas, donations, skills and support that you could offer. We are always looking for volunteers to help run/man an event, and without the support of our family community we simply cannot run the events. We also need people to take ownership of and lead events. It is not a requirement to attend all meetings, and many UFC members communicate with other members to organise events or contribute via email, phone or our UFC Facebook page.
