Hello and welcome to the CHPS Fundraising Friends - Rooksdown Campus
Hello and welcome! We are the Fundraising Friends Rooksdown Charity – dedicated to raising money to support the excellent work done by Castle Hill School.
We became a registered charity in 2025, and work very hard all year to support our wonderful school. We are all parents who aim to provide additional experiences, equipment and fun to our children’s school, to enhance their primary school life.
We run the annual Christmas and Summer Fayres, as well as many social events such as discos and movie nights for the children. Our intention is to fundraise whilst providing joy to our children and we’re always looking for new ideas!
We want to provide a balanced and enriched experience of school and life in general for our children and so provide each child a Christmas gift (usually a fun book), and various treats throughout the year.
We provide funding for educational visits such as Science days, as well as whole school entertainment like the very popular pantomime! We always provide each year group with a large donation towards their annual trips and excursions.
We are aware of how tight school budgets are, so provide additional resources for wet play, such as card and board games. We help fund outdoor learning equipment, re-stock the library and many other items that add to the welfare of the pupils of Castle Hill Rooksdown – that may not be covered by standard government budgets.
We are a friendly bunch and would love to have you join us! We are very flexible with our plans and how the funds get spent – it’s all open for discussion and we agree annual plans each September, alongside school requirements.
It’s not rocket science… you need no special skills to join in – just yourself! If you are interested in joining us, have ideas of ways to raise money or skills you feel are useful please don’t hesitate to let one of our members know. Everyone is welcome and we meet a couple of times each term.
Our children are very special so please join us by giving a little of your time to enrich their school journey - it's well worth it!!
