Secret life of a business manager
YORK SECONDARY RAISES £20K IN A WEEK FOR MINIBUS
Staff and pupils at Fulford School in York went on a fundraising binge this summer – raising £20,000 in a week for a new mini bus by the end of last term. Sue Keeble, the school business
manager, organised a week of fundraising activities in the school, including cake stalls, a tuck shop, raffle and ‘gunge the teacher’ competition, culminating in a sponsored walk. “The school’s PTA has £7,000 in the minibus fund already and, with its continued support, we hope to reach our target of £20,000 by the end of the week,” Keeble told The Press at the time. Of the cake stall, she said: “It was a fabulous success; I can’t believe how many staff baked over the weekend.”
