Dear parents The PTA committee are asking for your help. We are sure that you'll agree. That Gwaelod y Garth is an excellent school that we all value, and have tried hard to get our children into. The PTA exists to raise extra money to enhance the school learning experience for all the children. In our current economic climate these funds are becoming more and more essential. The PTA however has a problem. The committee is a very small group of people and although parents are very generous with donations and volunteering for events, there is an increasing amount of paperwork and legality the committee must meet to run as a PTA. We are struggling to achieve this and need help. Currently we need to address our charitable status. We are lucky that we are a successful PTA, but this creates work. Our choice is; - apply for charitable status , in which case we need help with the work and responsibility this entails - stop fundraising this year and severely limit income in future years. To resolve this we have arranged a meeting for 9am Thursday 26 march at school. We've chosen a daytime meeting as evenings appear difficult for many, and we would value everyone's support. If you are unable to make the meeting, but would like to help please speak to a member of the PTA or email crha.gwaelod.pta@gmail.com Thank you
