Fundraising

Stepping Stones Pre-School is a registered charity (Registered Charity number 1083646). We do receive Government funding which goes towards the hall rent, heating bills and staff wages, but we also rely on donations to help pay for these ongoing running costs. Fundraising enables us to buy new resources and equipment for the children.

Fundraising Coin TrailWe recognise that fundraising events enable the children, younger and older siblings, as well as family and friends to become involved in our pre-school community. Recent events include:

  • School holiday craft sessions
  • Easter duck race
  • Christmas fair
  • Coin trail
  • Quiz night
  • Table top sale
  • Sponsored bounce

If you have any fundraising suggestions or are a local business who would like to make a donation in return for free advertising on our newsletters and raffle tickets, please contact the pre-school. Please look out for our committee meeting dates and come along if you think that you could offer any fundraising ideas or experience, or speak to a member of staff during session times.
