PAWS Charity
Embedded in our community
PAWS is a registered charity, and our committee members are all volunteers. Any profits we make are used to further improve what we can provide to our children.
Our charity status reflects our ethos and ways of working. We are closely involved in village life and along with the school we are embedded in our community. It is commitment from local volunteers on various fronts that makes PAWS thrive.
