There will be loads more hints and tips coming your way soon. So don’t delay, get started today and don’t just take our word for it. We spoke to Denise Morris, Secretary at Burbage Primary School Parents’ Association, in Buxton Derbyshire:
Our last quarterly payment was for about £800. We have one parent who buys supplies for his business through the easyfundraising website and this has boosted our donations massively.
Do it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It’s straightforward, easy to manage, donations go straight into the PTA’s bank account – no faffing about, flyers are ready made, special offers a-go-go.
Can you give other PTAs tips on how to make it a success for their school?
Try to publicise it as much as possible, talk to colleagues and friends and get everyone involved. Having seen the Find & Remind Toolbar this is definitely something worth publicising too.
