Committee

Dandelions is a charitable organisation, managed by the Preschool Committee.

A Committee is legally required in order to run a Preschool. If we don’t have a Committee we would not be able to keep the Preschool open.

Our Committee is made up of a majority of parents from the Preschool, who give up their time, to help run and raise essential funds for the Preschool.

Committee meetings are held every four to six weeks where decisions concerning events, fees, policies and staff are made.

The Annual General Meeting is held in November, where a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and the general Committee Members are elected for the following year. Parents of new children are always encouraged to join the Committee.

If you are interested in joining the Committee or the 'Friends of Dandelions' group then please reach out to the team on committee@dandelions-preschool.org.uk as we are always looking for enthusiastic members and volunteers.

Fundraising

As a registered charity we keep an active fundraising schedule. This money enables us to buy extra equipment for use by the children, take on educational projects and generally enhance the learning environment. We accept donations from interested individuals and bodies, for which we are extremely grateful!

You too can help us raise funds in the course of your usual online shopping without it costing you a penny. Many online retailers will donate to charities and we are registered with a few services that will do this.

We will be adding a link soon to Easyfundraising, this is a great way to fund raise for Dandelions -simply by shopping online! 

Easyfundraising is a shopping directory that features some of your favourite online stores, including Amazon, NEXT, Debenhams, John Lewis, Toys’R’Us, HMV and over 400 others. All you have to do is use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase you make. It really is that simple!
