Easy Ways to Support the PTA: Shop, Match, Recycle!

There are three easy ways to support the PTA throughout the year:

  1. Shopping via Easyfundraising.org.uk
  2. Fund matching via your employer
  3. Recycling ink cartridges

Easyfundraising.org.uk partners with over 8,000 brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice. It won’t cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the brand.
Here’s the link to our cause:

Use this link to sign up. Using the provided link will give the PTA £1 for every new sign-up once a donation has been raised by that supporter.

Fund matching is a simple way to maximise fundraising efforts. According to PTA.co.uk it is an informal, albeit corporate, arrangement between a company and an employee. Usually, a company pledges to match a sum of money relating to the amount the employee has either raised or donated to a charity. It is likely that there will be an upper limit and certain criteria applied, such as the recipient organisation being a registered charity.

Check this blog page for a list of companies that we know offer fund matching.

It is also worth checking directly with your employer whether it is something they offer as the list on the page is not exhaustive.

Recycling ink cartridges couldn’t be easier, just pop them into the recycling box located in the school’s reception area. This scheme is run by Recycle4Charity, find out more about them via their website.

Please note that toner/laser cartridges are not accepted as part of this programme. If in doubt, check the website, it lists accepted cartridges and their donation value.
