We're calling on all parents and guardians this summer to help Chasewell Playgroup - Banbury fundraise. There's a really simple way you can help without donating anything - simply get the easyfundraising app! It's completely free and when you use it to do your normal day-to-day shopping with 8,000+ online retailers, we'll receive a free cashback donation, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU. Even better, if you get the app and become our supporter this week, we get a £3 bonus donation just for inviting you. Use the link below and install the app on your mobile device, then fill in the simple steps to become our supporter for free. This will make a huge difference, thank you! Get the app here:

Imagine you run a sandwich shop.

Let's say it costs you £1 to make a sandwich and you charge customers £1.10 per sandwich to make a profit to reinvest into your business.

Now imagine that one day, the government announces that it's going to pay for two free sandwiches a week for all working adults (in a bid to win votes).

The problem is they are only willing to pay sandwich shops like you 50p per sandwich to meet this promise. That's 50p less than it costs you to make them and 60p less than you normally charge for them.

Over the course of a year, this could result in your business losing thousands of pounds.

What would you do?

In light of the news that the education secretary has asked the Competitions and Markets Authority to look into the early years sector, we're resharing our free interactive explainer for you to share with families at your setting, to help them understand the problem with early years underfunding – and the impossible choices that settings are being left to make.

Our garden has supported years of play, learning and memories, but it is now becoming worn and difficult to maintain. We want to create an outdoor space our children truly deserve - somewhere they can explore, imagine, investigate and thrive.

If you are able to support our fundraiser, we would be incredibly grateful. If a donation is not possible, a share helps lots too. 🙂 (please also support our easy fundraising page, this costs nothing but can raise money every time you shop. Please see our previous post on how to do this)
