Schools - Collect for Cash campaign

Oct 1 2009 Huddersfield Daily Examiner

A spokeswoman from Barclays said: “This is a terrific accolade that recognises the exceptional work being undertaken through our partnership with ‘Action for Children’. For us, winning this award shows that we’re making a positive difference to the lives of many families and young people across the UK.

“Our work forms part of our Barclays Money Skills programme, which aims to help thousands of young people develop the skills, knowledge and capability to help them manage their finances. There is no better validation of the ambitions and efforts of such programmes than winning an award like this.”

The £10,000 will be split into five prizes: 1st = £3,000; 2nd = £2,500; 3rd = £2,000; 4th = £1,500; 5th = £1,000. The winners are the schools which collect most tokens per pupil so small schools have just as much chance of winning as the big ones.

Readers can check out the list of schools for the nearest one to you and get collecting for them.
