There are lots of fantastic fundraising ideas your school can use all year round to support Children on the Edge. Whether you want to support us with a one-off event or activity, or as part of year-round fundraising; or help engage your school in learning more about children living on edge, your support can help to restore the ingredients of a full childhood forgotten children around the world.
​

​ “Our children have had huge amounts of fun but have also come to realise how children across the world do not always have safe places to live and play, clean water, the chance to go to school and often do not have the loving care of a family”. 
 
​Janet White - Dorset House School

Some ideas to get you started:
​

• Non-uniform day – pupils and staff pay a pound and come to school in their own clothes or fancy dress
• ​Sports day – combine fundraising with your school’s sports day. You could charge friends and family to watch or sell refreshments to boost your fundraising total
• Cake sales – ask your star bakers to make their favourite cakes and hold a cake sale for pupils, staff, parents at break time
• School disco – sell tickets, have fun and raise money as you dance the night away
• Talent show – sing, dance and share your talents, use the school hall and sell tickets to family and friends​
• A sponsored walk - get your class mates together for a sponsored walk and see who can raise the most from their family and friends
