Fundraising

Stepping Stones is a registered charity: number 1023443.

Events and what's on!

Our Committee organises several fundraising events through the year: some are just for the children at Stepping Stones, whilst others are an opportunity for parents and people in the local area to socialise and have a great time for a good cause.

Any questions or suggestions just talk to one of the team - any time!

Other ways to fundraise...

We know how busy parents and carers are, so we've also set up some very easy online ways to support us on a regular basis - hassle free!

Easy ways to support us...

We'd be so grateful if you felt able to sign up to one, or all, of these fundraising schemes. Every person who signs up really does make a huge difference to the service we can provide at Stepping Stones Pre-School.

My Name Tags

You can support Stepping Stones Pre-school and make sure your child's clothes don't go missing by ordering personalised clothes stickers or iron-on clothing labels from My Name Tags. 24% of each purchase will be donated to Stepping Stones. They're also great for getting our preschoolers's school uniform ready for September.

Local Lotto

Local Lotto is a weekly online lottery created to support local causes in the Daventry district. Tickets are £1 per week with 50% going to local good causes and prizes up to £25,000!

Our page on their website is here - www.local-lotto.co.uk/support/stepping-stones-pre-school-clipston - and it's quick and simple to sign up to a weekly direct debit. It's a nice one if you'd perhaps like better odds than the national lottery and want to enjoy knowing it's supporting us at the same time!

Good luck for anyone who signs up, and THANK YOU!!

Signing up to these online fundraising tools doesn't cost you anything yourself, but it raises funds for us every time you buy something online!

Easy Fundraising

Our page on the Easy Fundraising website is here: - www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/steppingstonespsclipstonmarket - and you can add their "donation reminder" extension to your web browser, and also download their app so that it reminds you every time you're on one of their partner online shops. Some shops, like John Lewis, Booking.com, Argos etc, pay quite a decent percentage (some even up to 5%) every time you shop!

Giving Machine

The Giving Lottery is another weekly lottery. It costs £1 to enter and 60p from every £1 is donated to good causes in the UK. The top prize is £25,000!

How does your support help?

We rely on fundraising for things like:

Updating equipment and games.
Vital training courses for staff.
Investing in IT equipment.
Ensuring there are enough staff to keep the Forest School running.

Did you know that Stepping Stones Pre-School was one of the first Pre-schools in the whole county to run a regular Forest School? It is now a highlight of the week for children in their preschool year here at Stepping Stones.

So please help as much as you are able. Your support does brilliant things!

Thank yous

A big thank you to all the parents, guardians, friends and grandparents etc., who have come along and bought tickets/donated for all our recent events - you've been fantastic - please keep supporting us!!
