Currently we manage a "Trust Fund". We believe that it is no longer financially viable for a Day Centre to be run as we have in the past. Following consultation with the Charity Commission and AgeUK as to the future use of the funds, we donated a considerable sum to a local alms-house charity; we have donated fund to purchase an Age UK minibus; and we support computer classes for the elderly.

The Charity raises money from parents and ex-parents of the School through a Gift Aid scheme. Money raised is used to supplement school budgets to finance additional teaching resource and the purchase of additional ICT equipment.
