Cash For Schools - ECHO FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

We have been asking local schools to register for their chance to win a share of £25,000 across both The Citizen and Gloucestershire Echo. We have been

inundated with entries and proud to feature our 30 finalists.

Cash For Schools is a campaign supported by Western Power Distribution giving local schools the opportunity to guarantee £100 and win a further share of the £9,500 Gloucestershire Echo prize fund.

Each school will receive a share of the remaining £9,500 prize fund, based on the proportion of total coupons collected. It's that simple: the more coupons you collect, the more cash your school will receive. To make those coupons count, start collecting today!
