LPCF Achievements

Away Day

November

During Nov 12 we held an Away Day for anyone who wished to volunteer and help the LPCC.

This included current members and volunteers and we met up to learn more about the way we represent parents on our network and to set our direction for our charity.

It was a highly interactive away day and a good chance to review how far we’ve come since 2007 when the LPCC was launched with just 6 parents and to how many people we represent - now...over 2110 parents!

Topics covered included History of LPCC. it's work and structures, future plans for LPCC, Fundraising, volunteering
