By fundraising with us, your school will not only raise essential funds but also nurture compassionate, socially responsible citizens, promotes inclusivity, responsibility, and community engagement.
We are keen to integrate British Values into our assemblies and fundraising activities.
Educational Awareness
Introduction to Charity
Fundraising activities expose children to the concept of charity and community service. It’s an opportunity for teachers to discuss empathy, compassion and the importance of supporting those in need.
Real-Life Learning
Children gain practical knowledge about organising events, collecting donations and planning. These experiences enhance their organisational, communication and teamwork skills.
Emotional Wellbeing
Sense of Purpose
Engaging in fundraising fosters a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Children feel proud of contributing to a meaningful cause, positively impacting their emotional well-being.
Empathy and Compassion
Understanding the needs of hospice patients and their families cultivates empathy and compassion among children.
Community Connection
Local Engagement
Fundraising for Dougie Mac connects schools to their local community. It encourages children to actively participate in community initiatives.
Collective Responsibility
Children learn that their actions can make a difference. Supporting Dougie Mac reinforces the idea of collective responsibility and caring for others.

- Overview of Dougie Mac pitched at correct level for key stage

Its not just about the children having fun! Why not set a team challenge for teachers and parents to take on a fun fundraiser?

Who doesn't love a bit of friendly competition? Here's some fundraising ideas to pit houses or year groups against each other:
- Penny Race – Fill a collection box with as many pennies as possible.

A super easy festive fundraiser that's guaranteed to spread some Christmas cheer while your fundraising!
- Wear your best Christmas jumpers on Friday 13th December or another date in December that works for you.
- Encourage everyone to donate £2.
- Go the extra mile and plan a full day of Christmas fundraising with a tombola, cake sale or Christmas quiz!
We'd love to grow our partnership and we have flexible options for your school to be a fab fundraiser for a term, the school year or longer!
-We can support with special projects e.g. art projects, recycling, interfaith week and many more.
We are excited to work with primary schools, high schools and further education settings – these could be the hospice staff and volunteers of the future! If you’d like to enquire about our team visiting your school – please complete the form below and we’ll be in touch to arrange a visit.
