VFS - Make or Break

VFS - Make or Break

Due to a number of unfortunate circumstances the VFS steering group has had a number of people step down from the project. We now find ourselves at breaking point.

Unless we get volunteers who are able to contribute to the areas of Finance, Education, Governance, Marketing and Project Management, we will be unable to continue with our application to open a secondary school in September 2015.

Volunteers will have to be able to commit to undertaking tasks in their area of expertise and assisting with the writing of the application as well as committing to a weekly meeting either face to face or via Skype.

This commitment will need to continue until at least July 2014 when we will know if our application has been successful. But we're hoping most will commit right through to the opening of the school.

VFS is currently on the New Schools Network Programme and the VFS team believe we have a strong case for our school. However, we need to work hard to prove this in our application. We've done really well to get this far. Our local MPs all support the project.

If you would like to help please respond by 1st November 2013 by emailing contactvfs@gmail.com. If we do not have enough volunteers come forward then unfortunately we will have to say goodbye to VFS.

Please take time to consider whether you can be involved. This decision will have a huge affect on the kids in our villages who deserve the chance to experience the best possible education.

Thank you.

The VFS Team
