School Fundraising Ideas

By choosing to fundraise for Life Skills Education at your school, together we can make a real difference. 

We are dedicated to empowering young people to make safe and confident decisions. Whether you’re a teacher, student, or parent, introducing our work to your school community empowers young people, improves lives, and builds a safer future for everyone.

If you’re planning to fundraise and need inspiration, check out our list of ideas for some great ways to raise money.

Bake Sale

Throw on your aprons and get baking to help empower young people and build a safer future. Go sweet, savoury or both!

Wear it Red

Why not hold a non-uniform day with a difference? Ask people to donate to dress up in red, paint their face red or dress up as an inspiring character from history.

Sports Day

Organise your school’s sports’ day. Invite friends and family to watch and sell refreshments to boost your fundraising total.

Pajama day in school

This is a simple school fundraising idea that is sure to get students excited (and maybe even some teachers)! Collect donations from the kids’ parents in exchange for them coming to school in pajamas for one day.

School Sleepover

Everyone remembers how fun sleepovers are! But did you also know they make for a great school fundraising idea? Host a school sleepover in the school gym or the school library. Tell every student’s parents what the student needs to bring, and plan fun activities, games, or a movie for the children to enjoy.

A Big Community Cleanup

Who wouldn’t want to do something that’s both good for the environment and raises money?

Or make us charity of the year.

Supporting Life Skills throughout the school year is a great way to engage the school community with our work and raise vital funds through fun activities. Whether you’ve have our DAaRT Programme and know our work, or you’re new to Life Skills, we’d love to have you on board!
