Text us your donation

Text BAZA11 £1 to 70070The Christmas Bazaar will be the first event by the PSA at which you can donate via your mobile phone. Any phone will do, from an old one that just does texting and calling through to the latest smartphone that does everything except maybe your laundry.

Even better, 100% of every pound that you donate is received by the PSA. No transaction charges are made along the way. It’s all courtesy of JustGiving and Vodafone who have created JustTextGiving.

You can give £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 in this way.

So, look out for the posters and other reminders that you can give in this way when you come to the Christmas Bazaar on Saturday. We think there will be plenty of activities that will make you leave with a smile, and which you’d might like to say ‘thank you’ for with a little text donation.

Or you can try it out now – we’re ready to receive donations.

Text BAZA11 £1 to 70070.

Thank you.

Win an iPad 2 in the Christmas Bazaar Raffle

iPad2

Enter this year’s Christmas Bazaar Raffle and you could win an iPad 2 (16 Gb and wi-fi version). Not bad for £1 a ticket.

Not impressed? Well, second prize is a Kindle, and third prize a Samsung digital camera.

Your children will have brought a book of raffle tickets home at the end of last week. Want more than one book? Let us know and we’ll get one to you.

We’ve printed 3,000 tickets. Even if we sell them all, you can see that the odds on winning are pretty good.

The winning tickets will be drawn at the Christmas Bazaar on Saturday 10th December. You don’t of course have to be there to win, but you wouldn’t want to miss the wonderful Christmas event, would you?
