🌟 Double Your Impact with Match Funding! 🌟

Did you know you can make your donation to the River Mill Primary School PTA go twice as far—at no extra cost to you?

Many employers offer match funding (also called matched giving), where they financially match the donations or volunteer hours made by their employees. This means every pound you give could become two!

Some companies that offer match funding include:
✅ Barclays
✅ HSBC
✅ Lloyds Banking Group
✅ Santander
✅ Google
✅ Microsoft
✅ Meta
✅ Tesco
…and many more!

💬 We would love to hear from you if your employer provides match funding, as this could really help us fund some big items for the school.
