How We Are Run

Rising Fives is a registered charity (Number 270065), which is run by an elected management committee.

The Committee
The Committee consists of a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and members, who are elected each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in September, and who are all volunteers. Details of current committee members are available here. All parents are invited to attend the AGM and join the Committee.

Fundraising
We aim to keep fees to a minimum, so support our income with fundraising events. The fees cover the basic running costs and fundraising is used to help buy new equipment as well as maintain and improve the premises.

Benefits to you
The way that we are run means that major decision-making is in the hands of the parents who use the group.
We do not incur many of the costs of private pre-schools, such as management salaries and rent (we own our own premises). Therefore, our fees are much lower than those of many other pre-schools. Furthermore, any profit that is made is ploughed back into the pre-school.

Involvement
Parents of children that attend Rising Fives are encouraged to support the pre-school through involvement in the committee and/or fundraising activities.
