Solar Panels for Drimnagh Castle Primary School
The Department of Education is currently offering schools a grant for the installation of solar panels. We applied for this grant and have been allocated the funds. This will cover the cost of approximately 16 solar panels.
However, this will generate only a fraction of the electricity used to run a busy school. We are going to hold a fundraiser on Thursday the 23rd of May 2024. We hope to raise enough money to install twice as many panels. This will both save us on our electricity bills over the coming years and help in our goal to become more sustainable.
All students have received a sponsorship card for this fundraiser which will be used to record cash donations. Alternatively, we have set up this page to facilitate anyone who would like to donate to our cause online.
Any donations are gratefully received.
We are also asking local businesses to consider sponsoring a solar panel for 250 euro each.
The businesses who sponsor a solar panel will:
- have the company name displayed on our school website
- have their name displayed on a digital display board in the school foyer
- receive a certificate of donation and photo to display in their company premises.
Would your company be able to sponsor a solar panel or donate to our cause?
- Solar panel costs 250 euro
- Solar panel and installation costs 500 euro
- Donation towards a panel
We really appreciate the support of our whole school community in this fundraiser.
