Houghton School Helpers
Registered charity number 702696
HSH formed in October 2012 as a revised group of parents who recognised the necessity for a fundraising group to support the school. A new committee was formed in July 2021.
How we raise money
Throughout the year we raise money in various ways, including:
- Autumn fayre
- Christmas Tree Festiva
- Donut, cookie and ice lolly sales
- Amazon Smile
- Bingo
- Sponsored events
How we spend the money we raise
The HSH funds are spent on the ‘extras’ that are not provided by the school’s budget, thus making our children’s learning experiences so much more fulfilling and exciting.
To date we have fundraised for a new playhouse for Foundation Stage,14 laptops, 1O iPads, £1000 towards our new garden area, £10,000 towards our outdoor classroom and so much more! We have also given individual classes amounts to spend on anything they choose.

Company matched giving
