1. Welcome to the new FBINS academic year! We are looking forward to many fun activities and events for the children and you to enjoy. With your support, we are looking to achieve a target of £10,000 this year. The profits go directly to our children’s experiences and educational support. Take a look at the ‘Diary’ section to see what is coming up. FBINS is now an official Registered Charity (1158598). It is an amazing achievement and it is down the support you have shown our events, along with the dedication of your FBINS volunteers and the school’s continuous support. A big THANK YOU to you all. We are now able to look towards more outside fundraising opportunities, which in turn will only aid to improve facilities and educational equipment for our children.
