Fundr ais ing

for our

school —the

eas y way

EVEN though the

shops have now

reopened, many of

us do most of our

shopping online.

Many online

shopping sites

participate in the

Easy Fundraising

scheme and will

donate a percentage

every time you

shop. Remember

that however small

the amount, all the

pennies go to make

pounds. A member

of our school staff

has so far added

more than £50 to

the pot. Imagine if

everybody managed

that, You can even

download a

reminder so that

every time you shop

you will be asked if

you want to donate.

It’s free to sign up,

so just google

easyfundraising and

help our school and

our children.
