Easy Fundraising for Paget
We've found a new and easy way for you to raise funds for Paget High School - simply searching and shopping on-line!
If you use this search engine instead of your usual one (i.e. Google, Yahoo etc.), for every search you make, Paget makes money. It costs you nothing, and you still find everything you are looking for.
We've teamed up with easyfundraising, an on-line shopping directory listing over 500 of your favourite stores, including:-
- Amazon
- NEXT
- Debenhams
- John Lewis
- TESCO
- DELL
- and many, many more
Every time you shop on-line with any of them, we will receive up to 15% of every purchase - at no extra cost to you!
Its completely FREE to register and use and it doesn't cost a penny extra to shop and raise funds in this way. In fact, you can even SAVE MONEY as many retailers give exclusive discounts, special offers and even 'e-vouchers' when you shop through the easyfundraising site.
All you need to do is log on to the easyfundraising site at http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/pageths then register and start shopping!!
If you shop on-line anyway, then why not raise extra funds for us by using this completely FREE service? All funds will be used in supporting the education of PAGET pupils.
Fundraising for our Partner School
You can also help raise money for our Partner School, Rykneld Primary School. www.easyfundraising.org.uk provides a FREE service where you can shop and raise funds for Rykneld School PTFA. You shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from the Easyfundraising web site first, and then each retailer will make a cashback donation to the school.
If you ALREADY shop on-line, why not help good causes at no extra cost from purchases you would make anyway?
How to use the site:-
- To start, register as a user so they know which cause you want to support. Registration is completely FREE. Rykneld PTA is last on the list of causes beginning with 'R'.
- Next, login using your username / password. This is how the system recognises who you are and which cause benefits when you make a purchase.
- Finally, click any of the retailer links provided and then shop just as you would normally.
That's all you need to do, apart from remembering to return to the site the next time you are going to shop on-line! Provided you login and use the retailer links provided, they will tract all your transactions and pay your nominated cause the appropriate donations, usually on the delivery date of your order.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US AND OUR PARTNER SCHOOL - HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

This autumn (if target raised), two very brave members of staff will be jumping from a perfectly good aeroplane in order to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
This was inspired by Mark Tunnicliffe and here is his story why.
Written by Mark on 20th May 2008
"There was I, a 14 year old boy, enjoying my teenage years, working hard at school, not getting into trouble and doing the things that boys my age usually do. Then on the 5th of March '08 BANG! My life was turned upside down. This was the day I was diagnosed with B Cell Non Hodgkin's Disease Lymphoma, in other words, CANCER.
Although doctors have said it is very treatable, since that date I have spent most of my time in hospital, either receiving Chemotherapy in Birmingham Children's Hospital, recovering from the very nasty side effects of this treatment in Burton Queens Hospital or spending long hours in the Oncology Day Clinic at Birmingham Children's.
This week has seen a breakthrough, following a recent MRI scan I have been told that I am in remission, great news, but I still face another 5 months of chemotherapy to keep this horrible disease at bay. My long days in Birmingham children's hospital have been brightened by the doctors and nurses who are great and I have made many friends who are also being treated for the various forms of cancer, but the facilities on Ward 15 are not great for teenagers such as myself.
The opening of the teenage unit at Birmingham Children's (proposed for winter 2008) is much awaited and needed. This will be a separate unit where children of my age group can be independent, together with the private facilities which will make all the difference."
