Preschool Committee 

Volunteer for your Pre-school Committee

Why volunteer?

Is your child registered at a preschool charity run
by a parent committee?   
If so –

 Are you interested in learning new skills?

 Would you like to meet new people?

 Would you like to share your skills, time and ideas with others?

 Have you ever wanted to improve the running of your child’s setting?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, the team at your child’s preschool would love to hear from you.


Shared responsibilities for all committee members

 Act in the best interests of the charity; promoting its values and working to achieve its charitable objectives.
 Work as part of a team with the other trustees; whilst bringing their own ideas, perspectives and experiences to the committee.

 Regularly attend committee meetings and contribute to the effective management of the charity.

 Read committee papers and contribute to the decision-making process of the committee.
