Introducing local Facebook groups
Local knowledge and support is important for every PTA and Friends Association, which is why the team behind PTA+ has set up 60 local PTA groups to bring neighbouring committees together. There’s one for every county, giving all members of local PTAs and Friends Associations a way to share inspiration and experience. Whether it’s recommending local suppliers, sharing resources and equipment, ensuring events don’t clash or generally supporting one
another, these pages are a way to strengthen your committee and community. The groups are run by PTAs for PTAs, and each county group feeds into the national network, backed by PTA+ so you can be safe in the knowledge that advice on important things like licensing or health and safety is up-to-date and correct. To start connecting, visit
facebook.com/ PTAgroupsUK.

A turn-up for the books
With the KS1 and KS2 SATs coming up, this is a great time to run a Collins Book Sale – a new fundraising scheme that allows you to make money by selling revision guides to parents. Included in the service are revision and practice books, dictionaries, atlases and Dr. Seuss books. The scheme works by collecting
order forms from parents and then buying direct from Collins. This means no leftover stock, plus no lengthy set-up or overflowing stalls to contend with! To help parents decide, you can order a free set of books to display at your sale – as long as the event goes ahead, these samples are free for you to keep! All books offered in the scheme are sold to PTAs at the discounted prices offered
to schools, giving parents big savings and leaving plenty of room for PTA profits! Visit
