Summer 2019 Welcome to the summer issue of FundEd magazine.


A key element of education is about equipping children for the world beyond the classroom – and building meaningful links with your local community is an important part of this. Here at FundEd we’re very focused on how developing community engagement can enrich your school, and we hope to inspire you with ideas and advice.


Our cover feature (p15) explores the benefi ts of employing a fundraiser (typically part-time to work alongside a SBM) to generate income and build productive relationships with businesses and the wider community. We also look at how you can harness the wealth of people skills and goodwill on your doorstep for free (p22).

Educational marketing expert Justin Smith gives strategic advice on how to communicate key messages to local audiences (p25), and we profi le three success stories of events that have brought schools and communities together (p6). Finally, if you’ve got an idea for a project that could help your pupils feel more connected to their locality, then read our article on the National Lottery Heritage Fund to see if you might be eligible for grant funding.


As always, do email me at editor@funded.org.uk if you’ve got a story to share. It would be great to hear from you.
