We welcome all fundraisers, so when you’ve decided what you want to do just let us know by getting in contact with us. We can also discuss ways that you can promote what you’re doing and how we can promote it on your behalf too.

Schools

Children can learn from an early age how their fundraising efforts can really help a charity and positively impact on their local community.

There are lots of simple ways in which your school can get involved with helping Home-Start Manchester, holding a non-uniform day or even organising a bring and bake sale with delicious cakes are both uncomplicated ways to raise funds for us. We could even attend a school assembly and talk about the good work that Home-Start Manchester does before or after your fundraising activity to thank you and talk to your pupils about how the money has helped us.

We even have attractive hampers already made up that we can give to you to raffle off; you just have to sell the tickets – it really is that simple!

If you would like to discuss fundraising at your school please get in touch via our Contact Us page.
