ABOUT THE FOB

Who we are

The Friends of Bousfield, otherwise known as FoB, is a registered charity in England. Our purpose is to advance the education of pupils at Bousfield Primary School by organising social events, supporting fundraising efforts and fostering relationships between the staff and parents of the School. 

The FoB is operated by a team of volunteer parents and carers of the School. Within the team, there are two main types of roles - Trustees and subcommittee roles. The FoB Trustees manage the legal, financial and governance aspects of the FoB and ensure its smooth running. FoB sub-committee roles align under a Trustee vertical and hold unique responsibilities within that vertical.

Every parent and carer whose child joins the School is automatically a member of the FoB and we encourage everyone to get involved in any way they can.

Frequently asked questions

  • We understand that parents and carers are busy, so there are no strict expectations. There are roles and ways to get involved no matter your available time to commit. Trustees generally meet once a month (virtually) to administer the charity. Sub-committee teams meet at their own discretion based on forthcoming initiatives and everyone’s availability. In September, we hold our Annual General Meeting where priorities for the upcoming year are set and this meeting is open to all.

  • We communicate primarily over WhatsApp and email, and try to hold meetings virtually wherever possible.

  • The FoB is managed by 5 trustees. To learn more about who they are, scroll down or refer to the FoB Organization Chart.

  • There are many roles that form the FoB sub-committee, as well as new roles that emerge from specific needs. All roles are regularly updated in the FoB Organization Chart.

  • Email us at fob@friendsofbousfield.co.uk with the role or project you’re interested in learning more about and we’ll get back to you promptly.

  • We welcome anyone who wants to volunteer their time or suggest a one-off project that will advance our charitable mission. Simply send us an email at fob@friendsofbousfield.co.uk and we’ll get back to you promptly.
