CAFA

The CAFA Logo

Newsletter

Check out the latest Castell Alun Friends’ Association Newsletter here.

CAFA Committee

CAFA has been a registered charity since February 2016. Our committee consists of dedicated parents and staff. We usually meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM during term time. If you have any suggestions for fundraising activities or want to learn more about us, please email us at CAFA@castellalun-com.preview-domain.com or reach out through our social media accounts.

How the Fundraising is Helping the School

Thanks to your support, CAFA has helped the school in various ways. For example, we provided pens and a time capsule to commemorate the King’s coronation. Additionally, we contributed towards the cost of various trips and made a substantial donation towards refurbishing the counselling room. Moreover, we funded an orienteering package that benefits all pupils and supports the new curriculum.

Nevertheless, there is still a long list of resources the school and students need. Therefore, please continue to support our fundraising efforts. Thank you!
