Biddenden Community as the textile recycling bin has been removed from the village, please could you share this with the community to help raise funds for John Mayne School ♻️

♻️The next Bags2Schools collection will take place on Wednesday 7th October at 9am.

🛍️You will be able to leave your bag at Main Reception on the day of collection.

🪙By getting involved with this clothing collection, you have the opportunity to help us raise funds for our school, as well as diverting unwanted textiles away from landfill.

👕Please donate any clean unwanted clothing, hats, shoes (paired), belts, bags and purses. Please note, they are no longer able to take curtains, towels, bedding or soft toys.

💚The bags have been distributed to the children this week. If you are able to fill more than one bag, you can use any other sealable plastic bag. Please encourage friends, family and neighbours to get involved.

Many thanks for your continued support

☀️Are you having a sort out of your children's garden toys? ☀️

Do you have any outdoor bits and bobs that could be donated to help us set up the new John Mayne pre school?

We already had a sand pit and some pots being donated🙏🏼.

But still looking for more.

Please get in touch if you have anything that could be donated to help us for the start of the new school year.

Thank you in advance for your support.

FOJMs first tractorfest and won't be our last.
A super hot weekend but that didn't stop us.

A big thank you to all who donated prizes, made our stall, came and had a go but most importantly helped run our stall over the weekend.

Our parent volunteers , children and Squirrels teacher Mr Perry.
We couldn't have done it without your.🫶🏽

So many memories made by all and some ideas for next time. 🚜😊

All of the money raised over the weekend will be going back into supporting our school with new equipment.

Big well done to the new chair Emma. Amazing event. 🥰

Would you join us for a weekend of fun and fundraising next year?

👏🏼Thank you to all those who have donated so far. We are on the final push now to the big event.
We are all very excited 💖

We are still after donations if you can.

So if anyone has any unwanted gifts sitting in the cupboard/ present drawer and you are unsure what to do with it we would love it as a donation. 🙏🏼🚜

Male gifts are running low so would be good to get some more of those.

Thank you all🙏🏼
