Dear Local Business Owner
As a local special school, we are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for children with a wide range of additional needs. Every day, our pupils show incredible resilience, curiosity, and joy — and we want to continue giving them the very best opportunities to thrive.
In 2025, we are aiming to raise £25,000 to enhance our facilities, provide specialist resources, and fund experiences that make a life-changing difference to our pupils.
To help us reach this goal, we are reaching out to community-minded local businesses like yours to ask for a small but meaningful act of support:
Would you be willing to place one of our charity collection tubs on your shop counter?
A simple collection tub may seem small, but for our pupils it can help fund communication aids, sensory equipment, accessible play opportunities, and enrichment activities that many families could not access otherwise. Every penny truly counts.
If you can help, we will:
• Deliver the tub at a time that suits you
• Collect and replace it regularly
• Publicly thank your business for supporting our school (unless you prefer otherwise)
Your kindness will directly benefit children who rely on specialist education and care — and it will show your customers that your business makes a positive impact right here in our community.
If you’re able to host a collection tub or would like more information, please contact:
Donna Mitchell - mitchelld@astleypark.lancs.sch.uk, 01257 262227
Thank you for considering supporting our pupils and our school. Together, we can make 2025 a year of new possibilities for every child in our care.
With warm thanks,
Liz Ascroft
School Business Manager
