A message from NSPA
We are always looking for new ways and opportunities to raise important funds for the school. We have signed up to an innovative fundraising programme called ‘Phil the Bag’, which recycles your old and unwanted clothing and turns it into cash for the school.
‘Phil’ the Bag not only develops the children’s sense of enterprise but also teaches them about the importance of recycling and how we can protect the environment. Did you know that textiles make up 12% of landfill sites?
This fundraising initiative also allows us to raise funds – the more clothing we collect – adult and children’s clothing, shoes, handbags, belts, hats, curtains, towels and bedding – the more money we will receive in exchange for these products.
You can support our ‘Phil’ the Bag fundraising programme by donating your unwanted textiles in a strong bag and bring them into school on our ‘Phil’ the Bag Recycle Day, Friday 20 November 2015. We have a collection area for the bags in the school hall from 8.30am on this morning. So if you normally throw out your unwanted clothes or have bits and pieces gathering dust in the wardrobe, please use them to ‘Phil’ the Bag! Don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a good clear out too! (Items are accepted in any type of strong bag and in any condition, as those items that cannot be
reused are recycled).
The funds we raise can be used for vital resources and equipment within the school.
Thank you.
