Dear Parents and Carers
Dear Parents and Carers
I firstly wanted to mention how wonderful the fete was on Saturday, it had a real community feel and so many people have mentioned it to me. Thank you to Sheila Gough and Louise Whitehead, the chairs of the PTA, along with Chris Pillings and his team and all the St Michael's community that created it. They never complain and I know what hard work it is. We raised an incredible £25,000 (less expenses) for our children which is fantastic!

We took in £25k across sales, raffle, sponsorship and advertising, and can expect that to translate to a net of approximately £20k which is astounding, all of which will be put towards supporting St Michael’s. We hope you agree it was a phenomenal effort.
