School Fundraiser
As we quickly approach a new year, you may find yourselves ready to do a “good clear out” at home of all those unwanted items. To help both you and the school we have organised with Bag2School to collect your unwanted items from school on Tuesday 23rd November.
Your collecting and donating will allow the school to raise funds. The whole collection will be weighed and the school be paid per kilo. Bag2School also help the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you can have a sort through your cupboards and wardrobes to donate towards our school. It will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.
Bags will be sent home with pupils and will also be posted to the residents of Inskip village. If you do not reside in the village please call the school office for your bags on the number below.
If you fill the donation bag and still have more then you can use any other bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask family, friends and neighbours if they would like to have a sort out as well!
Bag2School will be collecting from school on Tuesday 23rd November. Please drop your bag (or bags!) at the top of our school drive on Monday 22nd or before 9am on the collection day.
If you require assistance to collect bags from your home please call our school office on 01772 690438 and we will happily organise someone from our school community to pick it up from you.
Please help us raise as much money as we can through recycling your old items
