Did you know when you shop online you could be raising funds for the school? Yep, just sign up to EasyFundraising and start your shopping journey from there and a percentage of what you spend will go to the school. 

Whether you're doing your weekly shop, booking a holiday, shopping for household items or even buying train tickets, you could be donating to the school without spending any extra money yourself.

Follow these simple steps:

• Register at easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/maps/

• Select MAPS Mayfield Primary School as your chosen charity

• When you shop online, start your shop at easyfundraising and a share of your spend will go directly into our fundraising pot

There are over 7,000 registered retailers, including booking.com, Amazon, Argos, John Lewis and The Works. All the major supermarkets are on there too so even your weekly shop can help our school!

It's an easy way for extended family and friends to help - please spread the word!

We have recently set up a JustGiving profile for the PTA meaning you can now make anonymous donations to the school. 

Donations through JustGiving can be used for:

• One-off or recurring monthly donations with GiftAid included

• Setting up a fundraising campaign for the PTA - instructions on how to set up your own Just Giving fundraising page can be found here 

Donating money is not the only way to contribute; donating your time is just as valuable - it all helps our school become an even better place.

• Keen gardener? 

• Handy with a paintbrush? 

• Expert at writing grant applications? 

• Can help by printing leaflets and posters? 

There are loads of ways you can help - and you can dip in and out of these projects and still make a real difference to Mayfield life. 

If you feel you have a skill that could benefit the school and the PTA, please get in touch.

Or if you'd like to help support specific fundraising projects, visit our Projects page for more information.

Whether it's supporting you to volunteer or helping the school by providing goods or a service, your employers can help the school grow. 

Here are some ideas of how your employer could help:

• Supplies for classrooms - this could be anything from laptops and iPads to gluesticks and pens. Can your company help?

• Outdoor materials - fencing, bark, sand, paint, gardening equipment - our grounds need constant maintenance and anything your company can provide that will save the school money would be gratefully received

• Our events - could your company help us by gifting a prize for a raffle? Or donate refreshments we could sell? Or would they like to sponsor one of our events? There are lots of ways your company could help

• Does your company have a Corporate Social Responsibility policy? If so they may support you to volunteer at school or at PTA events. Many companies offer Match Funding where any money you raise whilst volunteering is matched by them, making your effort even more valuable to the school

These are just examples - if you think your employer can help us, please contact us
