November 08, 2024 Ep 21 - What happened at my AGM and EGM
Click here to send me a text about this episode
In this episode, I update you on what happened as I tried to step down as Chair of my PTA. As you know from Episode 19, I was dreading my AGM with no one wanting to step up to the role. So this is my story about what happened and how it went. I also list a few places you can go for help if you are dealing with a tricky situation in your PTA at the moment. Have you had a similar experience to me? Do let me know - [email protected].

October 11, 2024 Ep 20 - Festive Giftwrapping fundraiser
Click here to send me a text about this episode
In this episode, I chat to my friend Eve about her gift-wrapping business and an idea about a festive fundraiser with a difference. Why not give a gift-wrapping evening a try to get parents together for a social occasion? We talk through how this could work and explore how you can make any gift-wrapping you do as a PTA more eco-friendly. If you don't have anyone in your area who could help with hosting a gift-wrapping event, Eve has many online courses where you could learn some of her techniques if you wanted to run an evening yourself!

Here is a link to Eve's website and you can also find her on Facebook and Instagram -

September 13, 2024 Ep 19 - Happy New 2024-25
Click here to send me a text about this episode
In this episode, I welcome you back to my podcast after I had a break over the summer. I'm juggling a few things already, including organising the AGM in the next few weeks. I'm wanting to step down as Chair at the AGM but no one so far wants to step up so I'm feeling rather unsure about how to handle it all. Do you have any tips or advice for me?!

Click here to send me a text about this episode
In this episode, I share 10 easy ideas to create a stall at a fair, using only A4 paper - something everyone has access to. These ideas can mostly be created the day before and might help to cut down on a bit of the stressful planning associated with a big event, or are easy last-minute additions if you have a gap to fill.
