Friends of St Thomas More (FOSTM) relaunch and request for help
The Friends of St Thomas More (FOSTM) has been working quietly in the background during the last few years. COVID and lockdowns hit all charities. The FOSTM has been no different. In September we hope to relaunch the charity and invite as many of our current and new parents to join in and support your school.
There are a few simple ways you can do this:
- Join the FOSTM Facebook group - Friends of St Thomas More High School | Facebook
2. Offer to help offer refreshments at a school event.

3. Come to a fundraising event. The first fundraising event is going to be a Family Quiz night which is scheduled for Friday 14th This event will also be the night we have the Annual General Meeting and where we will elect a new chair, treasurer and secretary. Tickets will be released next term.

5. Click on the image here and play the school lottery. If every family in the school signed up to play one a week a month, the FOTSM would raise over £5,000 a year.
