DONATE
DONATE, SPONSOR & SPEND TO SUPPORT US
While the FFH appreciates direct donations and sponsorships, we are fortunate that there are many new and innovative ways for families to donate to the FFH without impacting their finances.
These options include signing up for websites that pay a % of your spending directly to the FFH after each transaction, with no cost passed on to you. Similarly, some companies offer Matchfunding programs or allow staff to donate their time at the school while on full pay.
E
Easyfundraising
Please sign up for easy fundraising and choose FFH as your charity when shopping with online retailers. Each time you shop with these retailers, a percentage (average 5%) of your total spend will be redirected, straight to the FFH's bank account. Retailers in this program include amazon.co.uk, eBay, Hello Fresh, Dunelm, Boots and more!
G
GiftAid
Gift Aid allows UK charities like the FFH to claim back the basic rate tax already paid by you on donated goods. This means the FFH can claim back from the government on your behalf 25p for every £1 donated. This boosts the value of your donation by a quarter. Yet, it doesn’t cost you anything!
N
Uniform Name Tags
It is now possible to order school name tags for your child's uniform, bags and sports equipment via
using School ID: 4171
The labels are custom-designed in a range of pretty colours, and fonts and with a range of bespoke artwork, too.
When you order via Nametags.com, 24% of your order total is paid directly to the FFH Bank Account.
If you also activate your Easyfundraising account when making a purchase, a further % of your final order price will also be donated to the FFH.

Sponsorship
We often seek sponsors for our more significant events, including Highfest, the Highfields Ball and other family events.
