Fundraising

Here are some ways in which you can help to raise funds for the school

EASY FUNDRAISING - raise funds every time you shop!

www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/svschool

Easy to set up!  Every time you order online - whether it is with Amazon, Marks & Spencer, WHSmith or many other high street stores that are now online - you can opt to set a reminder which pops up for you to link your purchase.

Every penny counts towards helping raise much-needed funds for our school to support our students in numerous ways, including rewards and extra-curricular activities/events. Please pass on to other members of your child's family and friends as every little bit helps! Thank you to those who are already doing this and have been for the past few years. It is very much appreciated.

OUR SCHOOL LOTTERY - win at the same time as raising funds for us!

https://www.yourschoollottery.co.uk/lottery/school/stour-valley-community-school

This lottery has been set up specifically to raise money and make a difference for our students. It's a fantastic way to bring Parents, Carers, Teachers, Support Staff and the wider community together, in partnership with our school, and at the same time give something back. We hope to raise funds that can support and enrich the education of our students, aiming to provide extra resources for them, improve the school environment as well as run a few more extracurricular activities. Your support is greatly appreciated, and we wish you good luck! Click on the link above to get started!

MY SCHOOL FUND - Earn cashback rewards

https://www.myschoolfund.org/#/ParentReg

With this fundraising link, parents, carers, staff and other individuals can earn cashback rewards for themselves at the same time as earning rewards for our school when they spend with participating retailers, including Sainsbury’s and Argos.

1% of eligible spend goes to our school and 2% goes back to you as the individual. It’s a win-win!  You will receive notifications alerting you to your money off vouchers.

R.N.I.B. STAMP APPEAL

Help to create a world without barriers for people with sight loss by sending in any used stamps to us for the Royal National Institute of Blind People, marked "R.N.I.B. Stample Appeal" .  Many thanks for your continued support.
