Holwell School Fundraising

Throughout the year, the school will be organising a number of fun events for the children to enjoy and help to raise funds for our school.

Last year, we were successful with the help and support of the community, in raising money to improve our school library.

This year, we would like to continue our focus on developing outside learning by improving our nature area which can be found on the right-hand side of the front field.

This area is currently used for woodland walks; however, the potential of this area is not being reached and we would like to create a space which will become a space for imagination and creativity.

The vision for the area is to make this a stimuli for writing and creativity along with an environment which can be used for science and geography.

We will be reaching out to local companies to ask if they are able to support us in improving the area. If any members of the Holwell or Ludwick community can offer any of their time, materials or support with this, please can you get in touch through the school office.

This is an extensive project, and we would be very grateful for any support from our local community.

We will keep you updated on the project!

📕The new library, has provided new equipment and improved the learning space so that now whole classes can enjoy their reading experience together!📚

🏡The Holwell Hub new buildings are now up and ready to use. Community courses and meetings have been held in the rooms already and they have been greatly admired by the community.

A big thank you also to all our parents, guardians, grandparents, staff and governors who have supported us this year by either donating towards our events, buying raffle tickets or helping at our fundraising events. We hope the children have enjoyed them all and look forward to your continued support and some more fun events this year!

Parents, have you heard of Match Funding?

Many companies throughout the UK offer employees the chance to boost fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money raised by their child’s school. Match funding could help the school to double the amount it raises.

We cannot provide a list of companies that have this policy and would ask that you ask your HR department if this is something that is a company policy. We do know many banks, building societies, insurance companies, supermarkets, utility providers, car manufacturers and phone companies often have match funding schemes. You may work for a small independent company that may also be willing to match fund a fundraiser.

If your employer will match fund money raised by the Holwell Hub Fundraising team please contact us or pass on our details to your company. They will want a letter from the school detailing the events and approximately how much is hoping to be raised. Some companies want you to be involved in the fundraiser.

Match funding could be a large source of income for the school Hub project. We would be incredibly grateful if you could ask your boss or HR department if they have a match fund scheme.

We will be happy to provide a list of our upcoming events and in return thank them for their donation publicly on our social media pages.
