Fundraising

Schools are expensive places to run and maintain and the budgets we operate within are tight. Through Brookhurst School Association (BSA), we have a fantastic amount of fundraising activity throughout the year, which helps pay for additional resources to enhance the children’s learning and fun at school.

Visit the BSA page to find out more about our fundraising events and what the money is spent on.

The BSA also runs Brookhurst BOOST! – a donations scheme whereby you, as parents, can make ongoing or one-off financial donations to the school.

 

Helping with Brookhurst BOOST!

Brookhurst  BOOST! is a scheme that invites parents, carers (and the Tax Man!) to provide a regular contribution to the school. Payments can be made through one-off donations or with regular giving, for every pound you give we get an extra 25% with gift aid.

 

 

 

The benefits of BOOST!
  • It allows us to plan additional facilities and even better experiences for Brookhurst children, by guaranteeing a regular income.
  • It ensures that the Tax Man also does his bit for Brookhurst. By signing up to Gift Aid,we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate.
  • It provides an alternative opportunity for parents and carers to contribute to the school, even if a lack of time prevents involvement in other fundraising activities.

 

It’s really easy to sign up to BOOST!

There are two options you can choose from:

  • OPTION 1 – Monthly Standing Order (preferred option)
  • OPTION 2 – Annual Donation via ParentPay

 

OPTION 1 – Monthly Standing Order
  • Preferred option – as it means we don’t have to pay admin fees to ParentPay, so ALL of your BOOST goes straight to benefit the children.
  • Decide what amount you would like to donate. Could you offer a gift of £1, £2, £5 (or any amount you wish) each month? Remember it will be worth 25% more to the school if you can Gift Aid it too!
  • Log on to your online banking, or contact your bank to request a monthly standing order (preferably on the 5th of each month) of your chosen amount to go to: This reference allows us to identify your gift and match it up to your Gift Aid registration (if applicable).
