Success Stories - St Martin of Porres School
26 July 2023
With every ticket sold, St Martin of Porres School PTA moves closer to their goals, paving the way for a brighter tomorrow and ensuring that no child’s educational journey is limited by financial constraints.
Driven by the desire to secure regular funding for their school, the school PTA, the Friends of St Martin of Porres, sought a solution to help overcome financial constraints and empower their fundraising efforts.
Your School Lottery has been instrumental in not only achieving fundraising goals, but also fostering a thriving school community with a strong sense of collaboration and unity.
"Events take a lot of time, effort and volunteers to run, whereas Your School Lottery is a regular source of income that requires minimal effort.”
