Autumn 2 Informal Meeting Date
Our next meeting date has yet to be confirmed, please check back or look out for our posts on the Parents' Year Group Facebook Groups.
Who are we, and what do we do?
The Redeemer Fundraisers is a great way for you as a parent/guardian or friend of the school to become more involved and gives you a chance to get more closely acquainted and feel a part of where your child/grandchild will spend their primary education. Everyone is welcome to attend all our informal meetings where we plan future fundraising events.
We organise a variety of fun events for students, parents, staff and the wider community including singalongs, summer fairs, occasion gifts designed by the children for you to purchase, and many more.
Members of the Redeemer Fundraisers are available in the playground and after worship on a Friday morning to answer any questions or listen to any ideas you might have, and they can bring them to our informal meetings, should you not be able to attend.
Our Aim
The aim of the Redeemer Fundraisers is simple: 'To enhance every child's time at The Redeemer.' We organise a variety of events throughout the school year with the aim to raise funds to purchase items for the school.
We care deeply about providing the optimum learning and schooling experience here at The Redeemer for each and every child. Schools do sadly face cuts year-on-year to their budget – this is where we come in and we do need all the support we can get. Every penny we raise goes to projects that will enhance your child’s education, enjoyment and experiences here at The Redeemer.
Examples of projects we have funded are:
- Book bags for new starters – our gift to welcome your child to The Redeemer
- iPads and computers across all years
- Staging and lighting rig to enhance school productions
- Playground repair and renovation
- Necessary school furniture e.g. bookcases
- Contributions to the Year 6 Leavers Event – well wishes as your child embarks on their next chapter
- Nativity costumes
- Transport costs to and from organised events
- Workshops and experience days
- Teaching props and visual aids such as a magnificent historical timeline
- Wet play toys and games
Your input really does make a huge difference.
We always welcome new ideas and input and would be delighted if you could get involved in any way. Please do come along our meetings which are held every half-term.
We are also contactable via our email address redeemercepfundraisers@gmail.com.
Any order forms or payments can be posted in the black post box next to the school office.
You can also chat with us face to face as many of us are in the school yard at drop off and pick-up times, and after worship on a Friday Morning.
