Fundraising at Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce
Our parent & carer volunteers raise funds to pay for items and activities which boost our children’s wellbeing, education, and sense of community.
Our fundraising has paid for:
- Playground play equipment
- School jumpers for each annual intake of C1
- Initiatives for our Young Carers
- Plants and bird feeders for our playground
- Strips for our sports teams
Apply for funds
Anyone in the school community can apply for Parent Council funds via the Small Sums Scheme.

Who are the volunteers?
Our fundraising volunteers are from a mix of backgrounds, a variety of nationalities, and speak many different languages – from English and Gàidhlig to Italian, Greek, French and Spanish. Everyone is welcome to get involved.
Many parents & carers work full time, have no childcare, or simply don’t have spare time to volunteer in person at school events. These parents lend a hand by selling raffle tickets, donating baking and prizes, or donating digital skills. There are many different ways to be involved and all contributions are valued.
