KLB FRIENDS

We give our time on a voluntary basis to support formal school & foundation events, organise social activities, & co-ordinate fundraising events in support of various projects which directly benefit the students.

🤝 Volunteer Call‑Out

We'd love you on the team!

KLB Friends is run by parents of KLB students — but you don't need to have a child at the school to get involved. Past pupils, grandparents, relatives, friends, local residents… if you care about supporting your local school, there's a place for you.

We're currently looking for two new committee members:
Secretary & Vice Chair

If you're organised, enthusiastic, or simply curious about how things work behind the scenes, we'd love to chat.

📢 How We Ask for Help

We regularly post volunteer shout‑outs on social media. Take a look at:

  • Your year‑group Facebook pages
  • The KLB Friends Facebook & Instagram page
  • Our website: www.KLBFriends.co.uk

If you'd like to be added to our volunteer list — whether you can help once a year or once a month — just drop us a message. Every extra pair of hands makes a real difference.
