Tesco Bags of Help Initiative

We are excited to announce that The Parent Council of Gargieston Primary School & ECC have been selected to participate in Tesco’s Bags of Help Fundraising Initiative!

 

VOTING IS NOW OPEN IN BOTH KILMARNOCK STORES!!

 

This is such an exciting opportunity for our fantastic school to secure funding from Tesco which will allow us to purchase a fitness trail for our playground with monkey bars, tyre swings and lots more.  There are three very deserving projects in the running:- Gargieston PS & ECC, Kilmarnock Acrobatics Club and Bonnyton Thistle Football Club.  All three projects will receive a cash boost, with the winning project receiving £4000, 2nd place £2000 and 3rd place £1000.  We would like to encourage as much support as possible amongst family and friends of the school and ask that whenever you shop in Tesco you post your blue coin into our slot.  You do not need to purchase a plastic bag to pick up a token – just ask for one whenever you shop.

We are going to need everyone to get behind our school as we’re sure it will be very competitive and the more money we are awarded, the better our fitness trail will be for our children!  Voting in stores takes place from 1st January – 28th February 2019.

 

We will provide an update at the next parent council meeting, but so far can advise that the contract for the project has been awarded to Scot Play. The design will be finalised over the next few weeks with the plan for fitting of the Trim Trail to take place around Easter 2019.

 

Many thanks in anticipation of your support!

From All at Gargieston Parent Council & GFG
