As we are getting close to our fist online draw tomorrow, we will start with our ongoing fundraisers (details below) today.
Where do the funds go? All proceeds the Friends are making from any of these fundraisers will go 100% towards educational and social programmes throughout the school year (such as us co-sponsoring the La semaine de la Francophonie).
Amounts raised: So far we have raised during these online fundraisers £31.65 (ongoing: Easyfundraising) and £6.48 (ongoing: Stikins)
