The aim of the PTA is to raise funds to support and improve the learning environment of all the children attending Dorridge Primary School.

Registered Charity

We raise funds by doing many children, family and adult focused fund raising activities.

We have also expanded to now include recycling.

Websites cash-back schemes

Many companies throughout the UK offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise. It really is money for nothing, and our PTA could double the amount of

cash it raises with very little effort.

A parent can raise funds or give time to an PTA activity and your company will either match the funds raised pound for pound, or

will donate to a set limit.

Please check with your HR department about their Match Funding Scheme policy,

so that we can explore these fund raising opportunities.

Match Funding Schemes
