About PTA-UK
PTA-UK is the
national charity representing over 13,750 PTAs across England,
Wales and Northern Ireland.
Our charitable objects are:
To advance education by
encouraging the fullest co-operation between home and school,
education authorities, central government and all other interested
parties and bodies.
To fulfil these objects PTA-UK has five key strategic objectives
for the period 2011 - 2014:
- Develop partnerships to significantly extend the benefits
offered to PTA-UK members;
- Work with stakeholder organisations to promote PTA-UK as the
premier provider of advice and guidance for PTAs;
- Rebrand the organisation to increase awareness;
- Exploit social media to ensure PTA-UK retains its position as
the leading network of PTAs; and
- Enhance the skills within the organisation to deliver these
strategies.
PTA-UK is both a company limited by guarantee and a registered
charity and is, at its heart, a membership organisation which
exists to serve its members by providing support, guidance and
practical resources for PTAs. A team of eight Head Office
based staff and eleven field based advisers are led by PTA-UK's
Chief Executive, David Butler. The charity governs itself in
accordance to its memorandum and articles of association which were
last reviewed in October 2011.
