If you know where to look, there are all sorts of free resources available to schools. Here are just a few that we’ve come across...
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
O
ften in school fundraising we look at the bigger picture initiatives – for example, grants, events
and crowdfunding campaigns – all of which will have a significant impact on a school’s budget. But there are numerous opportunities for schools to get something for free. The income might be small but will save valuable pennies that can then be spent elsewhere. Here are some examples to inspire you to seek out free resources for yourself.
Experiences A free school trip or experience will enable pupils to learn valuable skills and can also broaden their knowledge of the world. n Warburtons runs the National School Visitor programme, offering workshops to primary schools to teach pupils about food, breadmaking and healthy eating. Visit
warburtons.co.uk/corporate/ responsibility/community. n Morrisons offers store tours as a free school trip. Get in touch with your local store’s community champion for details. n PizzaExpress’s school visits programme offers the opportunity for up to 30 children to make their
own pizza, while learning about kitchen safety, at a local branch. Visit
pizzaexpress.com/kids/ school-visits to find out more. n Asda’s in-store community champions can volunteer their time locally, working with teachers to promote healthy eating through activities such as herb-growing and fruit and vegetable tasting. Ask in your local store for details. n UK Parliament offers schools free trips and workshops linked to subjects across the curriculum. Trips often include the opportunity to meet your MP or a member of the House of Lords. Visit
parliament.uk.
Products Seek out donations to enhance the school’s teaching resources. n LEGO donates to charitable organisations that promote children’s play, learning and creativity. Although they will not donate to classes or school projects, they will donate to causes such as after-school clubs to benefit pupils who have limited access to toys at home. Visit
lego.com/en-gb/aboutus/ contact/charity-donations. n Jump Rope for Heart is a skipping challenge run by the British Heart Foundation. Five- to 13-year-olds
