Funding down to £9.30 for a 3 hour session Current fees £10 per 3 hour session I'm concerned that we have to fundraise a huge amount each year, this year we have noticed a drop in support from our parents, probably due to everyone having to reduce their own costs, so we will not meet our target this year, and our reserve that was created a few years back is g…
