Fundraising for GOSH Charity at school is a great way for children and teachers to have fun and get creative while raising money to help seriously ill children and their families. Take a look at some of our schools resources and fundraising ideas to get you started.

Fundraising ideas

Non-uniform day

A classic fundraiser! Children are invited to wear their own clothes to school in exchange for a small donation. Mix it up by having a pyjama day, get festive with a Christmas jumper day or even go crazy with a bad hair day.

Add a fundraiser to school events

Make the most of upcoming school events by organising fundraisers. You could hold a raffle at the next school fair, set up a face painting booth at the next school disco, or run a bake sale during the next open day.

Sponsored activities

Sponsored challenges are an excellent way to raise money. Whether it's a sponsored silence or a sponsored race during sports day, the options are limitless. Why not take a look at our 1k challenge for inspiration?

For more ideas and information please check out our schools fundraising pack and our A-Z fundraising ideas.
