Kells Lane School Fundraising
Treasurers Report 1 September 2024 – 31 August 2025
It has been a very successful year for Kells Lane School Fundraising which could not have been achieved without the support of School Leadership, Teachers, Children, Parents and Carers, and the local community. We are now a registered charity.
Fundraising this year included our usual Discos, Quiz Night, yard sales and Summer Fayre. Following positive feedback and support from the school community we repeated the Christmas Trail and Elfridges both of which were again well supported. Our monthly Bonus Ball continued, and building on the success of last year’s onsite Easter Raffle we obtained a raffle license and this year held both Christmas and Easter Raffles. Other new initiatives this year were the football card and Wonderlicious bars with the opportunity to win a golden ticket.
