How your school or college can help us

Education fundraising

Whether it's at nursery, school, college or university, fundraising for Birmingham Children's Hospital is a great way to engage with your community and make a real difference to the lives of others.

You could choose to adopt the hospital as your school charity for a whole year or hold a one-off event - either way, we want you to enjoy your fundraising so we'll do all we can to help. Our Education Fundraiser is here to support your school by offering advice, and providing a range of fundraising materials. We can even arrange visits to the hospital for small groups (very popular with School Councils!)

We're really proud of the great relationships we have built with local schools - this is what some of them have said about us:

"The Birmingham Children's Hospital has been very helpful and has kept contact with us throughout the period of the time we have worked with them and has helped establish a relationship between the school and the charity"

all schools can get involvedMatthew Hadley, Head Boy, St Michael's High School, Rowley Regis

"BCH is a fantastic charity to support. Our girls felt really connected with the hospital and personally involved with raising money for the children. Thanks for all your help and support."

Margaret Saul, Wolverhampton Girls High School

There are all sorts of ways you can get involved. Take a look at our Schools Fundraising pack to get you started, or drop us a line - we'd love to hear from you!
