“giving your time and expertise is just as valuable as monetary donations”
Why We Fundraise:
- Although Weydon is a state-funded school, the money received doesn’t cover all the ‘extras’ we offer.
- Funding gap this year: £185 per student, equating to a £300,000 shortfall.
Monetary Donations:
- Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
- Donations can be made as a one-off or regular payment to the Weydon School Trust Fund:
Sort Code: 30-93-20
Account No.: 20486168
- Please use your child’s name as a reference.
- If you’re a UK taxpayer, complete a Gift Aid declaration to help us claim an extra 25% at no cost to you.
