How to get involved

We know how hectic life is and we’re grateful for any time you can spare, from a quick half hour to joining our committee. These are just some of the ways you can pitch in:

• Sell treats after school on Fridays (just 30 minutes!)
• Help with event-planning or volunteer on the day
• Organise the PTA cupboard or sort second-hand uniform
• Join our committee to help decide how to raise and spend funds

Interested? Email haltonptachair@gmail.com or chat with your class rep to learn more. 

Ways to donate

We know times are tough, so we’re incredibly grateful for your support. Anything you spend at our events goes directly towards our fundraising, but there are a couple of other ways you can contribute too:

• EasyFundraising: download the app or browser extension, then when you shop with participating retailers the school receives a percentage of what you spend – at no extra cost to you!
   
• Donate to our bank account:
  Friends of Halton Combined School Association
  Sort code: 30-90-38
  Account number: 01336900
