Judith Elias - Fundraiser, Little Heath School Romford Essex

Following the Masterclass I can tell you that we have received funding of £26,000 and our multi-sensory room was built and equipped during the summer holiday.

Linda Grounds - Bursar, Thatto Heath Primary School, Merseyside

Since attending the Masterclass we have been very successful at school raising funds from Regional Grants in Merseyside - Local Network and Arts and Culture etc. We have also had money from Awards For All.
The major success has been from the Heritage Lottery. I have been very fortunate in securing a partnership with an Arts and Dance Specialist and we have been very successful in raising money to promote the arts in school. The lady in question has had lottery money before and we have secured a large bid for children to study social dance from 1930 to 1970. Again, I have been fortunate in that my school is situated in an area which suffers social and economic deprivation and our PTFA has charitable status which I think opens certain doors for us.

John Gibson - Beddaus Buddies! Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales

We have from this September started an after school club concentrating on children from within our feeder schools It has been running for 5 weeks so we are claiming that the project has been successful.
The school transports the kids using our school mini buses to the club, which helps us build an even closer link to the feeder schools. Our bid to NOF was successful in obtaining funding to the tune of £7,500.
