Welcome Autumn 2019


In this season of dark afternoons, we’re here to celebrate your successes and inspire you with fresh fundraising ideas.


Many features – such as our cover story on making more of your school site and services – are full of creative initiatives to open up possibly untapped avenues of fundraising and support.


MEMBER UPDATES


EMAIL NEWSLETTER Get seasonal ideas and grant funding alerts with our half-termly emails – sign up at funded.org.uk


However, at a time of year when reserves might e running low, we also highlight the enefits of building on what you’ve already achieved.


WEBSITE Read case studies, find advice, and search over 200 grants on our database at funded.org.uk


The three schools featured in ‘We did it!’ (p6) have all turned their fundraisers into annual events. In our partnerships section we profile how one primary school has built an enduring ten-year relationship with an international law firm p. And in our grants coverage, FundEd’s Sarah Everson writes about how her children’s primary school has developed what is effectively a rolling programme of grant support (p46).
