Fundraising
Working all together, the PSA raises funds to buy much needed equipment and facilities to support our children’s learning journeys in alignment with the school vision. This year, we are trying to raise funds to provide some KS1 Playground Improvements and to support the school's initiative to improve STEM education through a collection of facilities aptly named the STEAM Engine.
The PSA currently uses a range of strategies to raise funds:
It runs a series of events and specific fundraisers throughout the year, designed also to support the development of the school community.
It sets up schemes where retailers give money to the school for every purchase you make, also known as "Free Money for the School".
It runs a JustGiving charity account to receive monetary donations directly from the children's community. Parents, carers, grandparents and friends, anyone can donate to the JustGiving account of the MHPS PSA. Just click the purple Donate JustGiving button.
Furthermore, you can choose to run your own fundraising campaign to raise funds for the PSA, by using our JustGiving account. You can see more details by clicking the purple Start Fundraising button, for example when you run a race or do a walk challenge.
Well done all!! We raised over £24,000 in the school year 2022/2023!
In the year 2022/23 the PSA has raised over £24,000 through its events as shown in the table below . This contributed to fund a range of equipment and facilities that are described in detailed in the tab "How we spend".
At the back of the pandemic we have, jointly with the school leadership and governing body, launched an ongoing fundraising appeal through JustGiving, that can be accessed by clicking the purple Donate with JustGiving Button in this page. You can also run your own fundraising campaign for the PSA to donate money to the school, click Start Fundraising Button.
In addition, it'd be great if more parents could sign up to the Free Money schemes (ways of raising money for the school without you having to actually spend your own money!) to increase the importance of this source of income and increase the amount of total funds raised!
