How You Can
Support Us

There are a number of ways that you can get involved and it isn’t always about monetary support. We are always keen to welcome new partners who share our mission and values in a mutually beneficial partnership.

This can be through any or all of the following ways:

One of the most direct ways to support our school is through financial contributions. Any financial support you can offer FOSMS can help us fund special projects, provide essential resources and organise enriching events for our pupils.

Businesses can contribute in-kind donations such as materials, equipment or services that directly benefit the school. By donating, you directly contribute to the success of fundraising efforts that benefit the school and our pupils. These contributions can help us stretch our limited resources even further.

Many of our partners and friends offer prizes for raffles, prize draws, events and as incentives for our fundraising efforts. We rely on the generosity of local businesses to enable us to raise much needed funds and by making a donation of something tangible, we find that businesses showcase their generosity and their commitment to giving back to the community and supporting local initiatives. They also find that their businesses gains exposure and repeated custom through recognition amongst FOSMS supporters and the wider community.

As a business, you could consider sponsoring specific events (such as our famous Summer Gala), our printed newsletter, banners or even our website, or other programs and initiatives organised by FOSMS. Your sponsorship not only supports our efforts but also provides exposure for your business within the immediate and extended school family as well as the wider community.

By encouraging involvement in community events, it helps build strong connections and positive relationships across the community in which you operate.
You could encourage your employees to volunteer their time and skills at our school events or as part of other FOSMS activities. This hands-on involvement fosters a strong sense of community and shared purpose.
