Friends Monthly Donation Letter

/docs/Friends_of_St_Lawrence_-__monthly_donation_letter_docx.pdf

Dear Parent / Carer, 

As you will be aware, The Friends of St Lawrence Primary school raise funds through social and fundraising events. The money raised by The Friends is spent in consultation with the school using the school development plan to help inform us where the greatest needs are.   

In 2018-2019, we were able to supply much needed laptops for the school and invaluable software, furniture and supplies for the library extension, and fund a new outdoor shelter and wellie area for Forest School. In 2019-2020, the school has identified a project to improve the outdoor space including a sensory garden and well-being area (details are yet to be finalised) and also new PE equipment.

We are aware of how much time and effort parents already give to the fundraising events, however a number of parents have approached the committee over time to ask how they (or a grandparent!) could make a monthly donation.  

For this reason, we are writing to all parents in case there are others who would like to do the same.  This could make a huge difference to how much is raised each year by The Friends and in turn would ensure that all of these big projects could get underway this academic year.  To put this into context, if every family donated just £1 per child per month, this would equate to an extra £2500 a year. If every family donated £5 per child per month, this would equate to a staggering £12500 a year.
