How it works – Turbo Charged Fundraising for schools
- Fundraise for your school through the ’Cartridge People’ website
- 10% of every order placed via the BUY BUTTON on your personalised page is donated to your school
- Boost your fundraising by ‘Super Charging’ and be green by recycling the cartridges your members purchase
Cartridge People’s ‘Turbo Charged’ fundraising scheme is a fantastic and simple way to raise money for your school. It’s easy to join, simple to run and best of all raises your school much needed £££’s with little effort.
- You apply to join the programme for your school/PTA on this website or over the phone – call us on 0845 266 6544 to apply or just to ask any questions. We’re here 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday and will do everything we can to answer your questions.
- If your application is accepted your School will be given a dedicated web address for your own personalised page on the Cartridge People website which your school, parent, pupils, friends of the school, PTA, etc. use to see how much has been raised and also to place orders.
- When they place an order by clicking on the Buy button on your School’s personalised page 10% of that order will be credited to your account. THEY HAVE TO click through on the BUY BUTTON so we can track it! Sorry if we can’t track it we don’t know who to help raise funds for!
