Little Village Learners and Fun Track O.O.S.C. is a registered charity run by a management committee of volunteers.
​
The management committee is voted in each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and must have at least five members, with three of those members taking the officer roles of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. You are entitled to, and very much encouraged to, attend and vote at the AGM if you have a child at the setting.
