What else can I do?
If you have time to do three things, our students would be so grateful if you could:
1) Join the Covenant Scheme – Covenant-Letter-and-Form-March-2023-1.pdf (bwsgirls.org)
The Covenant Scheme is a particularly effective way of fundraising for us as taxpayers’ donations are supplemented with an additional 25% Gift Aid. The amount you donate is totally up to you, but £20 per month is a suggested contribution. For less than the cost of a weekly takeout coffee and sandwich, these monthly donations are crucial to enabling us to budget for our big-ticket items – like the outdoor classroom and refurbished gym.
2) Volunteer for at least ONE event by emailing Sam Davis, our Events Co-ordinator, via the Friends’ mailbox.
3) Round up to the closest £5.00 next time you buy something through School Gateway so that any extra pennies go straight to the Friends.
I can still do more…
If you are able to support us even more, we’d HUGELY appreciate it if you would:
4) Buy a ticket for a school event – from a raffle ticket to a table at quiz night.
5) Make a donation to an event – we will happily receive all donations for a hamper or a raffle prize.
6) Come to one of our meetings or sign up to Easy Fundraising and choose Bullers Wood School for girls as your chosen charity – Create an account | easyfundraising
7) Set aside clothes for Bag2School collections or donate old school uniform for our pre-loved Uniform Sale
8) Read our Sponsorship Letter and have a think about whether you own or work for a company that could provide sponsorship or services to our school – Sponsorship-letter-2023.pdf (bwsgirls.org)
