Many companies throughout the UK offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising efforts by 'matching' the money they raise. It really is money for nothing, and your PTA could double the amount of cash it raises with very little effort.  Please contact your Human Resources department to check if your company run a scheme and can give you a form to fill in.
