FWR Fundraiser - Spring Into Action

25th March 2025

Dear Families,

 

Spring into Action Is Back! This Easter, Friends of Western Road are inviting families to Spring Into Action 25 to help raise vital money for our brilliant school.

 

We would love as many pupils as possible to come up with a sponsored challenge to do over the Easter holidays. Because we know children love to get active or creative in their own ways, the pupils are encouraged to choose their own challenge to motivate their fundraiser. It could be running, cycling, scooting, skating, baking, something arty, sporty or reading-based: the options are endless. And if families and pupils want to team up, even better.

 

Last year we raised a terrific £2412 profit for the development of the school Art Gallery. This year we are looking to raise funds to put towards; a much-needed lino floor in the therapeutic Rainbow Room, continue to develop the Art Gallery and create an outdoor classroom. The real constraints to our school budget have been well publicised, now, more than ever we need to raise money for ongoing resources and consumables too.

How do we raise money?

All you need to do is set up a JustGiving page and collect donations for Friends of Western Road (charity number 291113), using this Link

To make things easy, we’ve written below some blurb you can tailor for the ‘Story’ on your page.

Fundraising online is simplest, but donations can also be handed in as cash (within a sealed envelope, identifying the pupils name) at the school office or sent by BACS to: Lloyd’s Bank, Western Road School PTA, Account Number: 81338439, Sort Code: 402815.

 

When do we Spring Into Action?

Any time over the Easter break (4th April-22April). All donations need to be in by Tuesday 29 April 2025.

Wishing you lots of luck and fun!

FWR
