Fundraiser doesn’t think events will be held at schools for another two years <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WELSH-MEDIUM school Ysgol Treganna is raising money and supporting its community by hosting a virtual spring market showcasing parents’ products and services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to be clever around how to raise money without meeting people in real-life,\u201d says Teleri Evans, chair of the “Ffrindiau Ysgol Treganna<\/a> (Friends of Treganna), a charity that supports the school by organising fundraisers and community events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market is running for nine days from February 13 and is hosted on a Facebook group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is it now, for the next two years I can\u2019t see us getting into the school at all to raise money,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can join the group to see posts by participating parents and local businesses showing their products. They explain how to purchase, for example by linking to a web or Etsy shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
