About this cause

Balcombe School PTA is the fundraising body for Balcombe School and we raise much needed funds to ensure that all of our children can benefit from fundamental resources - resources that everyone expects schools to be able to provide, if only there was enough government money available... Funding for schools in West Sussex is at an all-time low but we are determined to ensure that our children continue to have access to vital educational resources - including school visits, forest schools, clubs to teach them essential life skills (like swimming and cycling proficiency), computers and books - that can help inspire, entertain and encourage them in their learning and play.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Balcombe School is in a beautiful rural setting and is part of a thriving village community. We all want our children to achieve their best but dramatic cuts to education mean staff are relying on the PTA for fundraising, and there is only so much that parents and villagers can donate to help our local school. Co-op's generosity helps protect vital resources for our children - that helps us all.
