What is a Giving Day?
Below you will find answers to many common questions about St John XXIII’s Giving Day
What is St John XXIII’s Giving Day?
It is a 36-hour focused challenge to bring together pupils, staff, parents, and Governors, both virtually and physically, to celebrate and fundraise in the spirit of all that is outstanding about St John XXIII Catholic Primary School. All the money raised will go towards the Faith In Our Future Fund.
What is the Faith In Our Future Fund?
The Fund is to improve provision for our pupils and ensure we can give them the best possible educational and extra-curricular experiences. Through the collective effort of the entire community, we can help to ensure that St John XXIII continues to be the wonderful Catholic school we all know and love, which offers a fantastic education and opportunities to all pupils, regardless of their background.
Where can I donate?
Donations can be made by credit or debit card here. Alternatively, you can donate via the Arbor Parent App or by bringing cash into the school.
Where will my donation go?
All donations will go into the Faith In Our Future Fund which will go directly back into the school. We are aiming to raise £5,000 to provide our school with class iPads as well as the protective cases and charging equipment needed to go with them.
How can I get involved?
- Spreading the word amongst friends, family, and fellow parents
- Following our progress on Instagram, liking, and sharing our posts, or posting using the hashtags #GivingDay2025 #FaithInOurFuture
- Supporting your child taking part in our in-school challenges
Can I choose which area my donation supports?
Your donation will go to the Faith In Our Future Fund for the school. If you have a particular area of the school, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss this further.
Is it safe to make my gift online?
Yes, all payments through our website are securely processed by reCAPTCHA. Alternatively, you can make any cash donations at the community coffee morning.
All donations will come through the Saint John Southworth Foundation (charity number 1121531), meaning we can also claim gift aid to benefit pupils further.
Can I make a recurring gift to St John XXIII?
This would be wonderful! A regular monthly pledge of a gift to the school is transformative to our fundraising campaign. Get in touch to set up a regular gift.
Is there a minimum donation amount?
There is no minimum amount. We are very grateful to all our donors for supporting Giving Day in any way they can. We value every contribution and thank our community for their support.
Can I see my gift on this website?
All gifts are anonymous for the Giving Day event.
How do I get in touch?
Please email us to discuss anything at all.
Can my company match my donation?
If you work for a company that has a match funding policy, any money you donate could be matched by your employer. This means that every pound donated will have twice the impact!
Please click here to see if your company is part of the scheme and talk to your HR department to set up the match funding scheme and help our school purchase iPads for the pupils!
Thank you for all your support to St John XXIII’s Catholic Primary School.
