School fundraising

Getting your school involved in fundraising not only helps tackle problems such as hunger and malnutrition; it also offers students the chance to deepen their understanding of global humanitarian issues and the sustainable development goals and it helps to foster global citizenship.

The Concern Fast is our biggest school fundraising campaign and is aimed primarily at secondary schools. Students can choose to do the Fast on the national day in November or choose a day that suits them best in the school year. The Fast takes place on 19 November 2020. 

Now, students don’t even need to give up food to take part. Our Flexi-Fast gives schools the chance to try something different. For example, you could do a social media blackout, sponsored silence, raffle or even a non-uniform day. 

In 2020 we are asking schools to create an online fundraising page and sign up here

Should you require fundraising materials such as stickers, posters or sponsorship cards please contact us.

The Hunger Heroes programme consists of a series of lesson plans, case studies and classroom activities that have been uniquely tailored for senior primary school students (4th to 6th class pupils) around the theme of Hunger.

The activities have been designed so that multi-class teachers and teachers of junior primary students will also be able to find activities suitable for their class. There will be a cross-curricular approach in the pack with activity suggestions covering everything from literacy and numeracy to drama and art. 

Use our Teacher’s Packs to learn more about Hunger, Nutrition, and Development and then take action by organising your very own Hunger Hero fundraiser!
