Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal
Two earthquakes have struck Turkey near the Syrian border. With more than 47,000 people killed, thousands of children and families have been forced from their homes, exposing them to freezing temperatures and snowstorms. These families are desperately in need of food, shelter and warm clothing as well as safe spaces for women and children and psychological support to process their experiences.
Children in Need are working hard to prioritise the immediate, lifesaving needs of families by:

**WE HAVE AN ONLINE SHOP !**To make it easier for you to purchase pre-loved and new uniform donated or purchased by PTFA from Whitehalls excess stock, we are trialling an online shop with Shopify! You can now see everything we have in stock and pay online. Orders can be collected from Reception or given to your Class Tutor. You can also order online and pay with cash when collecting from Reception. Please note Reception can't take card payments as they don't have access to our card readers.
To donate uniform, please wash and hand in to Class Tutors or Reception. Full-price uniform is available from Casseys Schoolwear |
Tech for TallisTech for Tallis GoFundMe was setup in the lockdowns because not all students had access to devices at home that they could use for online learning and we wanted to make sure that all Tallis students had access to the technology they needed.
Since then, we have continued to fundraise to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by a lack of technology at home. |
Who are we & what do we do?
Thomas Tallis Parent, Teacher and Friends Association (PTFA) registered as a Charity in 2018 with one aim - 'to create a social platform with which to try and bridge the gap between parents and School, raising the level of interaction between home and School in a fun and social manner'.
In the face of a Pandemic and continuing financial pressures, our aims have expanded and now include a suite of fundraising initiatives alongside a varied programme of social events but our main focus continues to be to support connections between School and Family.
Support may be financial, such as fundraising for 'Tech for Tallis', setting up a WebShop for second hand uniform, raising the money for a greenhouse to enable Mr Baker to create a safe, stimulating space for students struggling with classroom learning, or to enable Ms Choudhury to engage students with festivals throughout the year by decorating the outside areas. Equally, support could be providing expertise in completing grant applications or accessing funding sources as a Charity that School is not able to apply for, or organising events like the Cabaret Hullabaloo to give families, teachers and friends a well-earned laugh!
Keep an eye on our new Social Media pages, this webpage and our weekly spot in the Newsletter to be the first to know about a new event, or call for volunteers.
If you are interested in being more involved, please do get in touch on ptfa@thomastallis.org.uk. We are currently also looking for a PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISER to join our team volunteers or act as a mentor.
