Cecily's Fund School Resources

Cecily's Fund has a growing group of supporter schools and has responded to this by creating a Schools' Pack, which is made up of two parts: The Teachers' Pack and The Fundraising Guide for pupils. They can be downloaded here or you can request a copy on CD-ROM.

The Schools' Pack, targeted at secondary level, has information and exercises to teach young people about Zambia, poverty, HIV/AIDS and human rights. It encourages them to consider and discuss their own values in the light of what they have learnt.

The Pupil Fundraising Guide is designed to support students who are interested in making a positive difference. It is intended as a guide to help get active fundraising underway in the local area, and provides a great opportunity for the school to become a focal point for citizenship in the community.

School Fundraising Events

Non-Uniform Day
If your school has a uniform, you could organise a non-uniform day when all the pupils pay £1 to come to school in their own clothes. King Edward VI Aston School did just this and raised over £1220!

Sponsored Walk

Help us walk 10,000 miles! Cokethorpe Junior School took up the 10,000 Mile Challenge and raised over £4620 by collectively walking 372.5 miles for Cecily's Fund!

Hunger Lunch

St Edward's School in Oxford organised a hunger lunch. Pupils had an assembly about Cecily's Fund's work and then had just soup, bread and fruit for one lunch, with the savings going to Cecily's Fund.

Cake Sales

Pupils in Jack Hunt School, Peterborough, have held several cake sales, making home-baked treats available at break.

There are lots more fundraising ideas in the Fundraising Guide.

If you would like to run an event for Cecily's Fund and would like advice on how to go about it please do not hesitate to contact us.
