Fundraising ideas for your school
Non-Uniform Day
Non‑Uniform Day is a classic school fundraiser — simple to organise, easy for parents, and always a hit with pupils! Small effort, BIG difference!
Talent Show
Give students the chance to shine with a talent show fundraiser. Whether singing, dancing, telling jokes or showing off magic skills, a talent show is a top-tier way to bring the whole school together!
Sports Day
Egg and spoon, sack races, relays and more, using your school sports day to fundraise is a great way to get everyone cheering. Set up donation boxes, sell refreshments and invite families for a day of fun!
School Disco
The ultimate crowd-pleaser, nothing gets pupils excited quite like a school disco. Sell tickets, snacks, or even glow sticks to boost your fundraising, and let the shape-throwing commence!
Every 90 seconds, someone is admitted to a UK hospital with a brain injury.
There are estimated to be 2.6 million people in the UK living with the effects of a traumatic brain injury or stroke related disabilities.
Together, we can ensure no one faces this alone.
