How can you help?
We always welcome support and involvement, it can be as little or as much as you want.
Attend our regular meetings, offer ideas and support
Volunteer to help with a fundraising events
Equally just come along and enjoy events
Are you linked to a business that could sponsor a stall or event?
Are you an employee where your employer might offer match-funding schemes? This is when an employer matches what you help to raise for a charity, or offers other benefits for the charity. For example, if you help the raffle and the raffle raises £500 then we could get another £500 donated by them. Please ask your HR departments at your work place.
Become a class rep and help coordinate any class-based fundraising.
Lots of practical ways where you could help - collecting or donating prizes, running a stall at the fair, applying for grants, sponsorship or donations from employers etc..
The success of any fundraiser is dependent on the generous support from parents/carers, class reps, friends and staff. We very much appreciate this support.
