Small Donations Project

funded soley by the many parents who have signed up to shop via one of our charity online shopping sites.

What can £100 do for you?

In 2019, the Reading School Parents Association was delighted to launch its Small Donation Project. Its purpose is to fund a small number of grant requests that students can apply for. The items must benefit a group of students, whether it is a subject class, a tutor group, or an after-school club.

The grants are funded through donations generated via our charity’s online shopping partners. Currently, we receive contributions from The Giving Machine and EasyFundraising.

For those unfamiliar with these platforms, they enable shoppers to raise donations for our charity simply by making online purchases — at absolutely no extra cost to themselves.

The links to both platforms are attached, and they are very quick and easy to sign up for. Every purchase made through these sites helps support our fundraising efforts and makes a meaningful difference.

Every additional parent, carer, or member of staff who shops via these sites increases the pot of money available to benefit our children whilst attending Reading School.

Students may apply for items up to the value of £100. Please note that only one application per pupil may be submitted each academic year.

Students should complete the application form below, obtain their Tutor’s signature, and return the completed form to the RSPA via treasurer@readingschoolparents.co.uk.

The RSPA will review the application at its next committee meeting.

We also welcome applications from staff members who may also apply if the item benefits a subject class or tutor group. In addition, they can apply for a grant for an individual boy if they believe that this would allow them to compete or take part in an activity that they would otherwise not be able to participate in.
