Sherwood Foundation Charity

Who is Sherwood Foundation Charity?

Sherwood Foundation Charity (formally known as Friends of Sherwood Park School, FOSPS) is the fundraising team for Sherwood Foundation schools made up of staff & parents from all three campuses.

Our aim is to raise extra funds for our school and create special memories for our families. Where possible, we extend our reach into the wider SEND community, bringing families together & letting children experience joy without judgement.

We are a registered charity which increases our funding capability & helps us to engage with the local community. We aim to raise awareness of our children who are often out in the local area. By showcasing their achievements, we hope to challenge any assumptions or stereotypes that may exist.

What do we do?

Since our formation in January 2023, we have been busy fundraising & raising our profile within the local community. In school events have included cake sales, pop-up valentines shop, Christmas fairs, Santa’s Grottos, Easter Egg hunt, discos & a family photo shoot. Externally we have held a summer fair & festive dash.

We were proud runners up at the Sutton Community Awards 2024 for the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Award, winners of Sutton Soup #30 & have even made a guest appearance on Radio St. Helier. But this is still only the start of our journey!

We also host regular, inclusive & accessible, SEN sessions at Kidspace, Croydon & at Guildford Spectrum Splash Park for our students, staff & families, as well as the wider SEND community.

How do we use the funds?

Every penny we raise goes straight back into supporting our school & students. So far, we’ve:

  • Bought Christmas presents for every student, every year
  • Helped cover the costs of school trips and celebration events
  • Funded special equipment requested by teaching staff
  • We have just raised over £16,000 for a new school mini bus!

We’d love for you to get involved! Whether you’ve got a great idea, a little spare time or just want to meet other parents - come along to one of our friendly, informal meetings.
