The Daily Echo is launching our bid to support schools - with the power in readers' hands as to which pupils benefit from a £1,000 boost.

This token collect competition - running from Monday, June 2 until Friday, July 11 - is a fantastic opportunity for schools to engage pupils, parents, and the wider community in a fun and rewarding challenge.

We encourage everyone in the Southern Daily Echo area to support their local schools by picking up the tokens and sending them in.

Whether you're a parent, student, teacher, or a member of the community your participation can make a difference.

Collect tokens, spread the word, and help your school win the fantastic prizes!    

Top prize is a £1,000 Amazon voucher and second prize is a £500 Amazon voucher.

All participating schools will receive a runner up prize to use as a raffle prize in future school events or fundraising.

The school that collects the most tokens per pupil will be the winner. For example, 50 pupils collecting 6,000 tokens is equivalent to 100 pupils collecting 12,000 tokens. This ensures that every school, regardless of size, has an equal chance to win.

So simply collect tokens printed in the Southern Daily Echo from Monday, June 2 until Friday, July 11. Give your tokens to your chosen school. All tokens must be returned to schools no later than Friday, July 11.
