We hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
We are still in need of a Treasurer and General Members to keep our preschool going! In order to run we need as a minimum:
β
Chairperson - Charli (L6 Early Childhood Studies BA)
β
Secretary - Grace (Parent)
β Treasurer - Could this be you?
Without the role of Treasurer filled we will not be able to continue to run unfortunately. The workload is shared within the committee, we have a WhatsApp group to easily keep in the loop and support everyone and we meet every 3 months and this is alternated between online and in person and if you cannot attend any for whatever reason thatβs fine, minutes are shared from our amazing Secretary Grace. The roles are fully flexible and, as volunteers, nothing is ever expected beyond what time you can give π
Please pop the committee/preschool an email if youβre interested or come along to our next meeting! Even if you can join as a General Member and can donate a couple hours throughout the year, every little bit helps build our preschool and keep us running!
Broughton Preschool offers such a fantastic service to the community and we want to keep it open for as long as we can to continue providing the service we do π
π Could You Spare a Little Time to Make a Big Difference? π
Broughton Under 5s Preschool is looking for enthusiastic parents, family members, carers and members of our community to join our friendly Committee!

Whatever time you can spare π«Άπ»
As a committee member in any capacity, you wonβt be expected to do anything alone.
β¨ Itβs a fantastic way to:
* Support your childβs preschool
* Meet other parents and carers
* Have a say in the future of our setting
* Give back to your local community
Our next committee meeting is:
π
Tuesday 7th October
