ideas needed please

Not that I know of: would be very difficult to keep it up to date.

Possibly better to ask everyone to ask their employer if there is a 'pot' for charitable / community giving and see if that can be tapped into. Also think what's in it for the company: can the local estate agency sponsor your summer fair by providing an advertising banner with their name on it as well as the school's? If the local shops donate to your raffle will there be a large list of 'Thanks to the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker for their generous donations of X, Y and Z.'

Barclays match up to £750.00 The Barclays employee must be on the stall or ride or doing the "event". We always use them on the biggest moneyspinner

Think HSBC match £500 if a member of their staff is involved. Doesn't seem to be a limit. The person on our group did two charitable projects for the same big event and got £500 for each one:T Helped us a lot.

You probably need www.companygiving.org.uk, although as other posters have said, you would be best to concentrate locally. There is nothing to be gained by a company located in Coventry if your school is located in Bournemouth. The company will want to see see something back for its investment, eg some publicity.
I have to say that if I was a parent at the school, I would be reluctant to give you my employer's name in case they objected to being contacted for a donation for the school my child went to!
In any fundraising campaign you need to be clear about what the money is to be used for, eg a new climbing wall....not just 'general stuff'.

HBOS provide matched funding. So that will include anyone who works for Bank of Scotland, Halifax, Birmingham Midshires, Capital Bank etc.
