Fundraising

Here are some easy ways that you can support Edgbarrow School PTA. It is the PTA’s aim to raise money for the school to purchase extra items for your children to use throughout their education at Edgbarrow. Please support the school as much as possible and tell your friends. Thank you for your support.

Donate while you shop 

If you use the internet to do your shopping please give a thought to making your purchases through any of the websites below. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go via the links below (click on the logos to register) and choose the retailer you want to shop with. Everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation (average of 5%) for Edgbarrow School PTA.

Donate to our School Fund via JustGiving

JustGiving3This is an opportunity to make a voluntary tax-free donation to the Edgbarrow PTA School Fund via our JustGiving site. For each family, the school is asking for a voluntary £60 annual donation. This can be paid either as a one-off annual payment or through a monthly direct debit of £5. Of course, should you feel able to donate more, then you would not be limited to this amount, and equally, we will be grateful for whatever help you are able to give us. Without your support, we may not be able to maintain our high standards of progress and attainment. We would be very grateful if you could also tick the relevant box to add Gift Aid. The Inland Revenue will repay income tax to the PTA at the rate of 25% per year on the value of the gift. Should you have any queries or comments please send them to schoolfund@edgbarrowschool.co.uk. Thank you for your support.

Bracknell Forest Lottery

Bracknell Forest Council has created a weekly lottery. Tickets cost just £1 a week and from every ticket sold 60p will go directly to us.

Donate through your company

Many companies run payroll giving and match funding schemes. Payroll Giving is a regular donation made through your wages without paying tax on it. Many companies also match charitable donations their employees make, so if you donate to the School Fund (via JustGiving) or support a PTA fundraising activity, you could double the amount the school receives. Please contact your employer to find out what schemes they run. Below are links to organisations that your company can register with to help charitable giving.
