Fundraising

Fundraising is vital to the success of Ruardean Acorns. Although the initial reason is to raise money, we also hope the events we hold are a fun way to meet other parents where you can join in with activities if you would like to. We are continually looking for new and exciting ways to fundraise. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
