We have been successful in being shortlisted for this year’s Rock FM Schools Challenge. The challenge is quite simple, starting today 10 March we have 4 weeks to raise as much money as we can for school. For every pound that we raise Rock FM will match it (up to £2000) and the school that raise the biggest total will get an additional £1000. SO……although we already have planned events this month eg Craft Fair, Bags2school, non-uniform days, April 50/50 club draw, Autism Awareness Day, donations can also be made in the following ways: 1. Hillside has been provided with a personalized electronic fundraising page: https://www.cashforkidsgive.co.uk/campaign/lancashire-schools-challenge-2019/fundraisers/hillside- specialist-school-and-college/ 2. Money can be donated from other sponsored events. If you have any weird and wonderful ideas that you could raise additional funds for school there is an additional £250 cash incentive from Rock FM for: The most creative fundraising idea Best use of social media Teamwork Best PR Any way you can raise extra funds for us would be much appreciated – even if we don’t win the overall prize every pound donated will be matched by Rock FM. Although we would encourage everyone to try and get involved there are rules we must adhere to in regards to fundraising: No street collections or flyers on cars No collections to take place on private property without written permission of the proprietor Pledges received after the end date will not be counted Money is encouraged to be paid via the online fundraising page All money will have to be paid to us by 29 March so we can pay it into our account by the deadline date. Please let us know if you can plan a fundraising event and we will help promote it. Don’t forget we only have until the end of March to raise as much as we can so get your thinking caps on and keep us updated!! Thank you in advance and we look forward to letting you know the total raised in April. .
