The answer to that question must be: a fundraising scheme in which you don’t actually have to do much at all.

The trouble with most such schemes is that they tend to bring in small amounts of money or fizzle out very easily.

So what we are really looking for is a fundraising concept which is very easy to run, doesn’t require much effort to initiate, and which continues to bring in money, without doing much more each year.

And that is what we have worked on. All the school has to do is change its telecom provider to ourselves and then send a letter to parents inviting the parents to change their telecom supplier as well. Both the school and the parents get the guarantee that their service will be at the same level as before and will cost either the same or less than before.

Everyone also gets the guarantee that their number stays the same and that there will be no break in service.

That is all you have to do: change and invite parents to change. After that 10% of the money spent on calls by the parents that sign up to the scheme is then paid back to the school.

This means that on average for every pupil in the school you will receive about £2.50 per month payment. Put another way, for every 100 pupils in the school whose parents move across, you will receive about £3,000 per year – without the school having to do anything.

Because not everyone will sign up at once we’ll supply you with a variety of letters which you can hand over to parents or transmit as emails, encouraging parents to move over to your system. We can also supply a page for you to drop into your website if you wish, again reminding parents of the service and the benefit to the school.

One of the great things about this approach is that once it has been set up by parents it just continues, year after year. Even if the parents move from the area or their children leave school, you will still benefit from their telephone call spend unless they change to another supplier.

All you have to do each year is announce the scheme to parents joining the school for the first time as well as reminding those who have not changed of the benefits of joining in.

The money is paid to you month by month, and there is nothing else to do. I do hope you will take up this opportunity.
