Helping Provide the Extras That Enrich College Life

The Friends of Henry Cort (FOHC) is a friendly group of parents, carers and staff who work together to raise funds that enhance opportunities, experiences and resources for our students.

Meeting approximately once every half-term, the group discusses fundraising ideas and projects that help provide those additional experiences that make a real difference to college life. Whether you can offer your time regularly, help at an event or simply share ideas, we are always delighted to welcome new members.
