We are delighted to inform you that, this year, the PSA achieved charity status. This opens up some opportunities to raise more even more money for the school. Some of which are:

GIFT AID: Parents and other supporters, who are current UK tax payers are eligible to Gift Aid their cash donations. This increases the donations by up to 25%.

MATCHED GIVING: Parents and other supporters, who work for larger companies can boost the value of their fundraising and volunteering for the school by claiming Matched Giving from company Matched Giving schemes. For example, parents and supporters working for Lloyds Banking Group can access the Bank of Scotland Foundation Matched Giving Scheme at www.bankofscotlandfoundation.org, where the amount raised at a fundraising event can be matched up to £500 and a donation can be made for time given through volunteering of £8 per hour. So if you work for a larger company, why not ask if they have a similar Matched Giving Scheme and help to increase school funds. (Please let a member of the PSA know if you intend to make a Matched Giving claim.) Our registered charity number is SC044390 and registered address is Mid Calder Primary School, Mid Calder, Livingston. EH53 0RR
