On Wednesday 27th April, Cathedral Primary Fundraising Committee met in person for the first time since the pandemic began. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the Fundraising Committee has continued to support the school, including donating £1000 towards our new library, continuing to provide Christmas presents to Primary 1 pupils and paying for treats for our Halloween parties.

With very few opportunities to fundraise over the past two years due to COVID-19, funds are now running low. However, the treasurer shared the good news that there is enough money to provide spending money to all Primary 7 pupils heading off on their residential trip next week as well as sufficient funds to pay for their leavers’ event in June and their new high school ties. The committee also plan, as they have done over the years, to provide a Cathedral polo shirt to all new Primary 1 pupils starting in August.

The committee discussed ideas for the 2022/23 session and a Family Night is being planned for September. Pupil-led coffee mornings, which were so popular before the pandemic, will also be back up and running.

Keep an eye out for the Fundraising Committee stall at Parents’ Evening on 31st May to find out how you can support the fantastic work they do. The money the committee raises really does make such a positive difference to Cathedral pupils!
