Bags for Schools Appeal
Could you help?
 

Children experiencing hardship may not be able to start the school year with a proper school bag and complete set of equipment.

 

The campaign aims to provide children with the essential tools they need for school to:

  • reduce worries associated with being ill-equipped
  • help reduce visibility of their financial circumstances
  • send a message that someone else is routing for them in tough times
  • demonstrate that they deserve the same opportunity to maximise their education as others.

Receiving school equipment can ultimately give a local child a better start, inspiring them to work hard, maximise their education and be successful.

 

Donations of equipment can be dropped in to Reigate & Banstead Borough Council at the Town Hall in Reigate, or to the Harlequin Theatre and Cinema in Redhill.
