Congratulations to all pupils and staff at Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School in Bristol for collecting a whopping 620 kilos and raising £310.00 for their school.
CFAC visited Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School to congratulate them on being December’s school of the month and awarded them with a CFAC prize and certificate.
Bridget O’Donoghue is the mastermind behind making the schools CFAC collection’s so successful. Our Lady of the Rosary has set up a texting service to remind parents about the collection day. What a great idea to help them remember!

1.  Invite us to hold a CFAC assembly, recycling workshop or arrange to visit our factory to get the children thinking about recycling.





2.    Text Parents and Staff to remind them about the collection day to ensure they bring a bag in.




3.    Encourage parents to give books and raise extra funds- we pay 5p per kilo for books! (Don’t forget to bag them separately.)
