An Easy Way to Raise Funds for Your School Playground Project

Last week we very kindly received an order for an outdoor classroom and some playground equipment from a school whose name I didn’t immediately recognise. On consulting the database, I noticed that the original enquiry was from two and a half years back but it had taken this amount of time for the good people of the PTA to raise the necessary funds of £10K. God bless them and no doubt that constituted many hours of organising events, fayres and much cake baking! Without PTAs, companies such as mine who supply products for the school playground would be struggling because we do appreciate school budget funds are tight and that this is the age of austerity.

But there is now an alternative as we could probably have got them the same amount of money in 6 months and all that they would have to have done is give us half an hour of their time to brief us on the project and their school and complete a 2 page check list. That is all! We have devised a proven track success in how to successfully raise funds and for the projects we have worked on this year, we have enjoyed a 100% success rate. If we are not successful, it hasn’t cost the school a bean apart from a bit of time.

PTAs can still run their fundraising activities concurrently with what we are doing as well.
