Fundraising Request to help Friends of Premier
An easy way to help Friends of Premier raise additional fund is to for parents to
register on Easy Fundraising.
It won't cost you anything all you have to do is register for easy fundraising and
support Friends of Premier Studios. See link below.

Then before you but anything online just log into easy fundraising and access your
normal shopping retailer e.g. Argos, Amazon there's hundreds to choose from. Then y
just pay as you would normally and Friends of Premier will get a percentage of the
amount spent.
Thank you
Friends of Premier would like to thank parents for all their continued support without
your help; none of the activities provided to the pupils would be possible.
Friends of Premier always need raffle and tombola prizes so if you have any items
you would like to donate please bring them along to the Studio office.
On a personal note as Chair person I would also like to thank the Friends of Premier
Committee for their support and help over the past twelve months- they kindly
volunteer their time and without them none of this would be possible, so thank you!
Finally
If you would like to join Friends of Premier or can help provide Friends of Premier
with support with the Disney Party e.g. make props or contribute in any way at all
may be with providing balloons or decorations, or if you have any suggestions for
future fund raising ideas or activities the pupils may like to participate in, please let
FOP know. Please put your name & contact details and /or suggestions in the
suggestion box in the foyer of the studios.
Many thanks
Donna Lynskey (Chair person of Friends of Premier Committee)
