Anyone is welcome to attend meetings and you do not have to be a part of the committee to assist with fundraising ideas and events. 

If you have a nomination for one of the roles or would like more information about FoWES then please contact us at friendsofwinterbourne@gmail.com

Did you know that when you shop online you could help raise money for FoWES? 

There are two ways of doing this and both are very simple.

 • If you use Amazon log into Amazon Smile and they will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to FoWES. 

https://org.amazon.co.uk/

• For other online shopping go to 

https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/

You will need to search and register on both for Friends of Winterbourne Earls School. 

HAPPY SHOPPING!!
