Welcome back everyone - I’m sure it’s a welcome relief to be back in routine!
We are holding our first FORDS meeting of the year on Wednesday 12th September at 3.30pm.
Please come down and join us if you think you can help in any way with fundraising for our school. Last year we had a small FORDS committee and although we organised some fantastic events (Springo ’springs’ to mind) and raised lots of money, we’d like to make this year even better!
We’re all busy people, running around after the kids, taking them to football or swimming etc, but if you could just spare half an hour here or there to help with our fundraising we’d be able to help create an even better learning environment for our children.
Please come and join us – Wednesday 12th September, 3.30pm. We’ll probably be in Mr Prytherch’s classroom but Mrs Jones in the office will be sure to direct you! We’d love to see lots of new faces.

I currently use easyfundraising.org.uk to raise money for a charity – it could work for FORDS.
Easyfundraising provides a free service where you can shop with your favourite online stores and at no extra cost raise funds for any charity, good cause or group you choose to support. You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from the easyfundraising site first each retailer will make a cashback donation to the cause you wish to support.
For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase from Woolworths and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with The AA and raise £30.00, or purchase a mobile phone from Vodafone and earn £29.00, and so on.
You can shop with 400+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just use the links from easyfundraising site first – it’s that simple!
As most people shop online already it makes perfect sense for parents and friends to raise money for RDS at no extra cost from purchases they would make anyway.
