Keeping you up to date with all things PTA
What are you spending your Cashpot on?
Celebrating the‘ All Dressed Up’ campaign
Our work with Asda on Cashpot for Schools was a huge success and we saw £ 5.78m delivered to our members in March!
Does your PTA have a specific plan for your Cashpot? For World Book Day 2025, we partnered with Rubies Masquerade and World Book Day to offer costumes to schools with a free school meal entitlement of at least 25 %, so they can help even more children develop a love for reading.
With less than nine school weeks to negotiate the agreement, build a website, promote the opportunity, receive 1,800 costume donation requests and ship 100,000 costumes worth an amazing £ 1.3 million, we are incredibly proud of what we achieved with the help of our members.
This achievement wouldn’ t have been possible without the unwavering dedication of the Parentkind and Rubies teams. From working evenings and weekends to sacrificing family time during the holidays, their commitment has been nothing short of inspiring.
Together, we’ ve brought joy and creativity to thousands of children, helping them celebrate the magic of reading.
Here’ s to making a difference- one costume at a time!
Let us know what you’ re spending yours on by emailing editorial @ parentkind. org
