How you can help...

Why we fundraise...

Many people don't appreciate how reliant we are on fundraising to help support our income and ensure the future of our pre school.   All most every year our fundraising target increases to help support the every growing needs of the pre school - this year we have a minimum annual target of £7,500!

Every year our staff and committee work hard to think of new ideas and ways we can fundraise, so if you have any ideas to share then we are always happy to listen - simply give us all call, drop us an email and speak to one of the team on pick up or drop off!

Crowdfunder

Simply search for 'St Catherine's Pre-school Group' on Crowdfunder where you will be able to make a donation - this is also where you can find further information on specific fundraising campaigns too. Plus, if you qualify don't forget to tick the 'Gift Aid' box when making your donation so we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate!

DONATION TREE

Our donation tree has lots of apples on that are individually marked with various items that we use regularly at pre school, from cornflour and envelopes to flour and double sided tape! Simply choose an apple and bring the item in to pre school, along with the apple so we can add it back on to the tree when needed.
