| As part of Isleham Under Five's Association, we are always trying to raise funds to help both the Pre-School and the toddler group. Please help by coming to as many events as you can. There is now an easy way you can help us raise funds simply by shopping and searching online - see below. |

| Fund-Raising Events |
| Isleham Gala |
Probably The Biggest Event in the Isleham calendar! This year Busy Bees' entry will be in the form of a parade, we thought a Busy Bees “Bug”gy Parade, and would like as many people as possible to bring their children dressed as bugs, bees, butterflies etc. We can decorate our buggies too and children can either be pushed along or walk with the parade. The idea is to make a colourful entry like a walking garden. We will be doing craft for the parade over the next few weeks and any ideas or props to bring the parade to life would be most welcome. For more information please email fundraising@iufa.org.uk.
There will be a meeting to discuss all things gala on Thursday 11th June at 7.30pm at the Rising Sun, Isleham. All welcome. |

| Pimms Night |
| We are holding a Pimms night on 17th July, 7.30pm at St Andrew's Social Centre, Isleham. This is a fundraising event for mums, aunties, friends to relax and treat themselves to a glass of Pimms, a pudding and browse some craft and gift stalls. More details to follow. |

| Nearly New Sale |
| The Nearly New Sale in May was well attended and raised an amazing £670.50. We will be holding another sale later in the year - Oct/Nov. If you wish to be on the mailing list for details please send an email to fundraising@iufa.org.uk |

| Sponsored Bounce |
| The annual sponsored bounce raised £1407.30, between Busy Bees and Pre-School. This is a fantastic amount - well done and thank you to all who contributed. |
|
| Mother's Day/Easter Eco-Friendly Bags |
| Thank you to everyone who bought our personalised Mother's Day bags. Hopefully you are using them with pride and you can pat yourselves on the back because not only are you being environmentally friendly but you also raised £157.50 for IUFA! |
|
| Easter Family Fun Day |
| The Easter event raised £418.65, which given the weather was a great total. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves. |
|
| Recycool |
| We have signed up for an innovative recycling programme called Recycool which turns old mobile phone and used printer cartridges into cash for the pre-school. You will also be looking after the environment as items are passed to Redeem Plc who refurbish the products for reuse. We have a collection box for these items at the pre-school. So if you normally put empty cartridges in the bin or have an old mobile gathering dust in a drawer please drop them into the box. Please note that only branded cartridges can be recycled, and at the moment, not Epson unless specifically mentioned. See a full list at http://www.recycool.org/downloads/pricelist.pdf |
