Bag 2 School are a free fundraising scheme, established in 1999, for anyone wanting to raise funds using a resource EVERYONE has got in their wardrobe – unwanted clothes. We work in partnership with Schools, Businesses, Community Groups, Local Councils and Charities to help them raise funds from your donations. We operate throughout the UK; collecting and selling your unwanted textiles to importers and wholesalers in many countries of Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and Asia. All to benefit the Circular Economy.
How does it work? We will arrange a mutually agreed date for our van to arrive at your school or organisation to collect the bags. Our driver will load the bags directly onto the van.
The collection is then weighed and we send you a cheque. In some areas you will receive the cheque on the collection day. Simple!
B2S has paid over £36 Million to schools and other organisations SO FAR!
COLLECTION DATE OF 30th NOVEMBER 2020
The PFTA will be limited this year in how much we can fund because we have been and continue to have our usual events effected by COVID-19 restrictions. We ask that parents continue to support the small events that we will be putting on. If anyone has any fundraising ideas we would be grateful for them, please contact us on andovercofepfta@gmail.com
Some of the smaller fundraisers we will be starting over the next few weeks will include:
Personalised Tote Bags
Christmas Calendars
Sweet Cones
Bags2School
Dress Down Days
The school is fortunate to have a very active and supportive PFTA.
We hope that you find the information useful. What does your Parents Friends & Teachers Association (PFTA) do?
It meets at least once a term, either for social or fund raising events (usually both)
