School Fundraising magazine – autumn 2025

Funding food and nutrition: While there’s no harm in an occasional indulgence, it’s essential our children learn to make informed choices about what to eat. A whole-school approach to nutrition is important, and there are many exciting opportunities for fundraising.

Events flowchart: Keen to try something new this term but don’t know where to begin? Give our events flowchart a spin! It’s designed to guide you towards creative ideas that will fit with your budget and resonate with your community.

Events special section: We asked schools and PTAs what made their autumn events successful. Discover practical tips and strategies you can adapt for your own planning.

Partnerships: Learn how Clifton Green School in York established a partnership with York Racecourse, providing outstanding opportunities for its pupils.

Fundraising: Vic Robertson tells us how alumni parents are at the heart of Chiswick School’s car boot sales, which have been running since 1984.

Video for grant funding: Emma Bracegirdle, who helps charities craft compelling narratives through film, shares her advice for making straightforward videos that tell your school’s story using just your smartphone.
