Heavitree Community Preschool is a community run group - we are a registered charity and managed by a committee of parents as a not-for-profit organisation. The Committee is a legal requirement for the Preschool and we need to maintain a minimum of five members.
Committee Members
Our most recent AGM was held on Thursday 24th November 2022 and the following committee members were elected:
Chair - Anna Briscoe
Treasurer - Alex Adams
Secretary - Fran Legg
Safeguarding Champion - Sarah Fox
Member - Anna Casson
Member - Izzy Coe
Member - Heather Thompson
Volunteering for the Committee
Are you interested in learning new skills? Would you like to meet new people? Would you like to share your skills, time and ideas with others? Have you ever wanted to improve the running of your child's setting? If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, we would love to hear from you.
The Benefits
Research shows clear benefits for children when parents become actively involved in their child's learning and development from an early age. Volunteering for our parent-run committee offers an ideal opportunity for you to become more actively and practically involved in this aspect of your child's life. It will also make a real difference to how the setting is managed.
What is involved?
Current committee members will be happy to tell you in more detail about how you can become involved. There are lots of ways you can contribute to the committee and you can choose to give as much or as little time as you can spare. The good thing is you don't need any experience to make a difference. Your Preschool committee is essential and without a committee the we would have to close.
What can you choose to do?
A lot of the work committees do is fun - building new partnerships with other parents and professionals, coming up with new fundraising ideas, getting exciting plans off the ground, but there are some regular jobs too. The three main roles on the committee are Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. We are fortunate to have a Manager who deals with the day to day running of the Preschool and with the accounts and other areas of paperwork.
