Friends of Parbold Douglas (FoPD)

Friends of Parbold Douglas is an active group of parent and staff volunteers who work together all year round to fundraise for the academy through lots of fun events. 

Our fundraisers include discos, magic shows, donut days Christmas events, Easter events, family bingo, popcorn sales and much more!  

All parents are automatically members of FoPD. If you would like to get involved, we would love you to join us! Please email admin@fopd.co.uk to be added to our helpers’ group. 

Helpers do as little or much as they can and there is never any pressure to do anything. Being part of the PTFA is also a great way to get to know other friendly parents and feel a part of the school community. We look forward to hearing from you! 

Ways you can help: 

• Join our helpers’ group 

• Donate raffle prizes 

• Attend a disco or event 

• Plus lots more! 

All the money raised by FoPD goes back into school for the benefit of pupils. During the year 2024-2025 we set out to raise £10,000 to develop outdoor play spaces on the school site. We are thrilled to say we exceeded our target with our final total coming in at a little over £11,500.  

We also received a £35,000 grant from a charitable trust, making our contribution to the school budget a whopping £46,500 this year.  

What an amazing result! A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible.
