Victoria Cawkwell – Vice Chair

Having been involved in supporting the school via the Friends since my youngest joined Reception in September 2013, I accepted the role of Vice Chair in autumn 2018. I enjoy working as part of a team to provide enhanced facilities, equipment and events for all of our children to enjoy and benefit from.

My eldest has now left St Margaret’s and my youngest is in the Juniors so I can offer support and an insight from the older child’s perspective; particularly when planning events etc.

I am responsible for overseeing the twice-yearly book fair, which raises funds spent solely on books for both the infant and junior libraries and other literacy initiatives.

Hannah Brown – Treasurer

I had wanted to get more involved with the Friends and the school community for a while and first volunteered to help at the Summer Fair.  I really enjoyed it and getting to know other parents of children from other year groups.  I attended the next Friends meeting which was the AGM and they were looking for a new Treasurer.  I felt I had the skills to offer and I took on the role in September 2019.  My eldest daughter is in Year 3 and my youngest daughter will start school in 2022. I really enjoy working with the other members of the Committee and find it very rewarding seeing the huge difference our fundraising makes to the school’s resources and experiences for the children.

It was whilst I was on maternity leave I discovered the Friends and decided I should ‘dip my toe’ into supporting some of their fundraising activities. Fast forward 8 months, to September 2018, and I became the Treasurer. After a rewarding year I stepped down as Treasurer but remained on the Committee taking on the position of Policy & Engagement Officer.  It’s a busy role however the funds raised enhance my daughter’s school experience and I see immense value in providing my support. IPads, crackers for Christmas lunch, theatre performances and fixing the Safari (incredibly important when you are 5) are just some of the things the Friends have funded over the last couple of years. My eldest daughter Izzy joined St Margaret’s in 2017 and my youngest daughter Lily will start in 2022 so I anticipate I’ll be around (in some guise) for quite some time.
