Fundraising

Gargieston relies heavily on the funds raised by the hard work of the GFG but, as their post says,  this will not be possible for the foreseeable future.

Easyfundraising is a great way of adding money to the funds at no extra cost to you. It is accumulated from shopping you are doing anyway.

By making a free account on this page and choosing Gargieston as your ’cause’, you would raise money for the school every time you make a purchase. Going through Easy Fundraising you can raise up to:

4% at WH Smith  1% at John Lewis                  1.5% at Game

2% at M&S            1% at eBay                                7% at Groupon

1% at Apple          3% at Game         or             2.5% with Clarks

This is only a tiny fraction of the deals available. Of our 49 supporters, 23 have used it and raised more than £520 over the years. This grid shows some of the activity on our account recently – the amount someone paid and the donation given by the company – it all adds up!

We would really appreciate your support with this which would give us funds to benefit every child at Gargieston.
