Schools, colleges and universities

Get your School, College or University together to fundraise for our Charity.

There are so many wonderful ways to bring your class, year group, or whole community together and raise money for the benefit of NHS staff and patients.

From extreme sports events to fun and unique challenges, there’s something for everyone.

Why not start by challenging your school to come up with some great ideas to vote on?

Here's some suggestions to get you started:

Why not give something up as a class?

Fundraise at a match

You can organise a sponsored game of netball, football, rugby, hockey, basketball, cricket… you get the idea. Or hold a special race on Sports Day, like a tug-of-war, egg and spoon race, three-legged race or teachers v students rounders.
