We are
delighted to be able to help Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s
Charity and proud of our partnership with them. We support
them through our presence at their own events - such as the Peter Pan
anniversary celebrations in London’s Kensington Gardens – and by encouraging schools and other organisations
to raise money by holding Portrait Days of their own.

your school would like to help raise money for GOSHCC please read

Portrait
Days for GOSHCC
You
can help raise £££’s for GOSHCC by asking
us to run a Portrait Day. It’s easy to do and requires only
minimum effort from you.
We
run a day of relaxed, informal, contemporary portrait photography
for families and children that gives parents something they
really value at prices well below those normally available
on the high street - and at the same time you're raising money
for GOSHCC.
How
they work ?
Parents are invited to book sittings one Saturday
or Sunday via a letter which
Prêt-a-Portrait provides and which is distributed
via the school.
Sittings are booked directly with Prêt-a-Portrait
to keep administrative burden
on the school to a minimum.
|
 |
On the day Prêt-a-Portrait sets up a fully
equipped studio in the school hall or other similar space and runs a series of
30minute sittings.
Parents pay a fee of £30.00. For this they get their sitting, one free
picture and their own password protected online album for viewing and selecting
pictures via our website at their leisure.
In addition to their 'free' picture, parents can then order anything they may
want from a range of high quality products (e.g. prints, frames, bags, books,
canvases etc) online, by post, by email or by telephone and 10% of the net order
value goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital. |

FAQ's
How many sittings can be held in one day?
A single studio can accommodate up to 20 sittings. When demand exceeds this we
set up a second studio which allows us to handle up to 40 sittings.
Is there a minimum of sittings?
We try to stick a minimum of 12 sittings in one day and
there is rarely a problem in filling this many spaces. If every member
of the PA/staff/team 'sells'
one or two sittings you'll be well on the way to a successful day.
How long do pictures stay online?
We keep albums on display for an initial period of 6 weeks. If customers want
to extend this they can simply call us. If they want to place further orders
later in the year (e.g. for Birthday or Christmas presents) we can usually put
their album back on display within 24 hours.
How do customers place their order?
Orders can be placed online, by telephone, by email, or by post.
How much
can we expect to raise and how do we find out how much we have raised?
The average amount can vary widely but an average 20 sitting day
would normally
raise approx. £300. Pret-a-Portrait will advise you of the amount raised
8-10 weeks after the event.
