How your school can support St Christopher’s

The funds that school communities raise for St Christopher’s are so important to us.  In 2010-2011 local schools raised a whopping £17,400 for the hospice – a massive thank you to all the students, teachers and parents involved!

Fundraising is a fantastic way to bring your school community together, and for students it is a great opportunity to develop team work, enterprise and organisation skills to name a few – as well as to have lots of fun! 

Ideas for school fundraising are endless so get your thinking caps on and let your imaginations run wild! 

You could hold a cake sale, a non-uniform day, a disco or talent show, sweet sale, sponsored swim, football or netball competition – the list goes on!

• Why not get sponsored to wear your pyjamas to school for the day?!  A student at Bonus Pastor Catholic College did just that for us and raised over £100! 

• Or you could follow the example of 9-year-old Shayma Ben Ameur – she organised a bring-and-buy sale at Pickhurst Junior School and raised over £97.  

• Harris Academy Beckenham (formerly Kelsey Park Sports College) held summer fairs for St Christopher’s in 2010 and 2011 and they even persuaded two of their teachers to jump out of a plane for the hospice!  The school raised an amazing £5,000 overall.

• Holy Cross Primary School in Catford have been doing regular fundraising for St Christopher’s.  They presented us with a cheque for £279.41 collected at their Christmas concerts (pictured).

If your school are musical you might like to get involved with our annual Christmas carol singing events in local shopping centres, where school choirs help us to collect for the hospice.  Please get in touch if you would like your school to sing carols for St Christopher’s.
