Cash 4 Coins

With the help of Cash4Coins help us to raise money for Friends of Stepgates School. 

FOSS is collecting foreign coins and banknotes, also pre-decimal coins and any other obsolete currency to be exchanged for real money!

It doesn’t matter from which country it came from your FOSS team need it!  Please search your cupboards and drawers at home, ask your family, friends, work colleagues if they will collect for you too.

If you work in a shop, what happens to that dodgy change? Ask if you can have it. Please bring your coins and notes to the office.

Let’s see how quickly we can fill our bucket, look out for the posters around school. Thank you for your help
