EVENTS

 
 

Fundraising Made Easy!!!

The PTA continue to look for innovative ways to raise money for the benefit of all the children at Kirkinriola . This week we have signed up to the very popular

www.easyfundraising.org.uk

This online system allows you to shop online and raise money at the same time.

It only takes five minutes to register and you must opt to support Kirkinriola Primary School PTA.

Then each time you go to shop online, login in to the easy fundraising site first and a percentage of your spend will go to aid our PTA.

There are many stores involved in this wonderful scheme, including M&S and Amazon..co.uk to name a few.

Please share this information with as many people as you can.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Committee Meeting Nov. 2023

The committee met in November 2023.


Here are the main points of the meeting:

  • The committee has been re constituted and is adhering to strict guidelines from the charity commission. 
  • There  will be no meetings until 2024 so that it allows everyone to have time and space to execute the chairity commission requests.
  • The committee also voted on no fundraising until 2024 as the end of term is fast approaching. 
  • There is no Christmas fundraiser or Spring Fair.
  • A member of the committee has been tasked to look specifically at grants.
  • There is also a team at the minute trying to sort selection boxes for Christmas - if we can't get them free the PTA will fund them.
