There are hundreds of primary schools across our circulation area.
We recognise, as you likely do, the ongoing challenge these schools face in obtaining funding to sustain their commendable efforts, particularly in today’s challenging times.
Hence, why we are proud to be launching Pounds for Primaries once again in 2024 to address this crucial need.
We have £20,000 of cash prizes, raised through our Christmas Concerts, to give away and we want YOUR school to scoop a share of the cash.
Whatever the school wants to spend it on, this is your opportunity to work together to win some funds!
Who can enter?
Pounds for Primaries is open to ALL primary schools, including attached nurseries, in The P&J/Evening Express circulation area. Even Parent Councils can enter and collect tokens to raise cash for their schools.
How do you get your hands on the cash?
All you have to do is work together to collect as many of the special tokens that will appear in The P&J/Evening Express between Saturday 3rd February and Saturday 2nd March.
We’ll categorise participating schools into four groups based on school rolls, awarding significant cash prizes to the top three schools in each category.
Every school that collects a minimum of 250 tokens will get at least £100 each.
Tokens must be submitted by Friday March 15 2024. They can be submitted to The P&J/Evening Express Marketing Dept., Press and Journal, 1 Marischal Sq, Broad Street, Aberdeen, AB10 1BL
Good Luck!

Terms and conditions
Regardless of who registers the school, any monies will be paid by cheque direct to the school unless a school authority asks that the money be paid to a parent council group at time of award.
If tokens are submitted for a school that hasn’t registered, we will contact the school to register their details. If we cannot obtain this information, that school may forgo any funds due to them.
The Editor’s decision is final.
