Welcome to our Friends Of the Grove information page.
We are a group of volunteers consisting of mums, dads, grandparents, carers and school staff who organise a wide range of fundraising events at The Grove school.
We usually meet once a month and are always on the lookout for new committee members and event volunteers. We truly appreciate any support that you can offer us.
