Friends of St Joseph’s Primary School
Our director, Tom Hatley, has been a dedicated member of the St Joseph’s Primary School PTA since 2022. He first took on the role of Treasurer before serving as Chair for the 2024 to 2025 school year.
Tom now supports the team as Secretary, helping to raise funds for projects such as the sports day festival, the school trip to Scarborough, and improvements to the playground and garden.
wonderful way to give back and help bring some extra joy to school life for the children of St Joseph’s.
Otley Walking Festival
We have been a proud sponsor of the Otley walking festival since 2022.
It is a brilliant, volunteer-led event which takes place at the end of June and beginning of July each year. There are walks for all abilities, and they are all free to enter. We particularly like the ones that stop at pubs, and you’ll often find the Christopher Little & Co team taking part in one of those!
