"Very easy to do. Everything is explained clearly and an answer to any question is only an email away. Much preferred to the company used last time as APFS take on all the admin work and payments.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to any school and we will certainly be using them again in the future."

Can I send Art Projects for Schools additional artwork after my submission date?While we can’t accept additional artwork once your group has been submitted, we’ve got a simple solution to ensure no child misses out! Parents can easily upload a photo of their child’s artwork when the online shop opens. Here’s how to do it: Head to www.apfsorders.co.uk and enter the 8 characters at the bottom of the QR code. Take a photo of the artwork, following the provided guidelines. Save the image as a JPEG before proceeding to order your cards and gifts! We’ll handle the rest to make sure the artwork is processed along with the rest of the school’s orders. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Do I have to be part of a School to take part in a project?No, you don't need to be part of a school to take part. Although we do ask for a minimum of 10 participants or 10 artworks to be submitted for each project.

Do the projects cost the School any money to complete?No! Parents pay for their items online, and then we send the School payment via bacs or a fundraising cheque before the end of the term. This way, the School does not need to handle any cash or cheques from parents.

Can I turn a project or product into a fundraising initiative?Yes! Once you have decided on what project or product you would like to work with, we can then turn it into a fundraising initiative. We can provide you with the recommended costs and promotional packs to help boost funds.

Can I do multiple projects at the same time?Yes, of course. You can do as many projects as you would like. All we ask is that you book in your production dates, to ensure you get the finished products delivered to you at a time that suits you.
