PTA Fundraising

There are 2 ways you can support the Boddington School PTA.  In April we will be competing for a share of £1000 in the Waitrose Community Matters Scheme, so if anyone ships in the Daventry Waitrose please pop your tokens into our box.  The more tokens a cause gets, the bigger the donation they receive.

Additionally if you shop online you can support us by shopping through easyfundraising.  When you buy something online your chosen retailer will donate a percentage of your purchase to Boddington School PTA without it costing you a penny extra and you can even save money with special offers and voucher codes too.  There are over 2000 well known retialers, including Amazon, B&Q, M&S, Laura Ashley and many more.  Since it was set up at the begging of Febreuary we have raised £91.89 towards ICT equipment, so please visit http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/boddingtonpta/ to register and start shopping.  We are very grateful for your support.
