2017 ELECTION CROWDFUNDING APPEAL Thanks so much for supporting our campaign. We live in interesting times! With the snap call of the 2017 General Election we find ourselves with a unique opportunity for our campaign for fair school funding to be heard. We have just launched our crowd-funding campaign and urgently need your help to continue our work more quickly and effectively. We need your help to quickly raise £15,000. This will help us to create the high impact campaign needed at this critical time. Every donation however small will help us reach our goal. www.crowdpac.co.uk/campaigns/1811/fair-funding-for-all-schools We want to ensure all our political parties and their candidates make a commitment to stop the cuts to our schools and prioritise substantial per-pupil investment in their manifesto pledges. Your support at this critical moment will help us to: • Quickly create more parent-led groups building on the 30 FFFAS groups currently up and running across England. • Send our team up and down the country to help more parents set up groups and arrange ‘hustings’ style public meetings in schools with election candidates and speakers. • Make badges, posters and leaflets that we can give to parents across the country to publicise the campaign and spread the word, making our priorities clear. • Lobby parliament and individual MP’s and Ministers, to ensure their commitment to education before we decide who should be our next government. • Create an integrated print, broadcast and social media strategy to help us quickly gain significant national awareness and media coverage and build our support networks. Time is tight and we need to move fast, and we would be really grateful if you can also share our campaign on Facebook and Twitter. It would also really help if you would also send out an email to your friends, family and colleagues and this week, with a link to the crowd-funding page. www.crowdpac.co.uk/campaigns/1811/fair-funding-for-all-schools Thank you in advance for your support. Please do contact us if you have any questions about the campaign or would like to get more involved. Very best wishes Jo, Matt and the Team Fair Funding for All Schools
