Easy Fundraising…
Together with the GFG and Parent Council we are always looking for ways to raise funds for the school and the children. With all our new families settling in, we wanted to remind everyone of Gargieston’s Easyfundraising page.
Easyfundraising is what it says on the tin! By logging on to it first, you simply follow the links to hundreds of online shopping sites from Amazon and eBay to Boots and Marks & Spencer. Each site gives a percentage or a donation to your cause at NO EXTRA EXPENSE to you. For example:
Groupon – up to 6.5%, Argos – up to 1.25%, Easyjet holidays – up to 1.25%
Every small amount adds up, and with Christmas shopping just around the corner…. why not try following the link?
