The benefits of fundraising in schools
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

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.
