Parental Contribution We set up Direct Debits from parents E.g. £10 per month over 3 years for a desktop, £7.50 over 2 years for a PDA scheme. These are charitable donations – we can also collect Gift Aid Note the parent is contributing to the enhanced T&L, this is not a bulk purchase. We then access National e-learning funds These will match (or better) the Parental Contributions Grant round just closed – next one in March?
