Schools

Whatever the age group, there are so many ways that local nurseries, schools and colleges can raise money for us. Fundraising at school is great fun and pupils will also enjoy knowing they are making a real difference to the lives of local families whose children are seriously ill.

MAKE US YOUR SCHOOL CHARITY OF THE YEAR!

If you are thinking about your Charity of the Year for the next academic year, we would love your school to get involved with raising money for Momentum by choosing us as your school’s chosen charity. Every penny you raise is vital and goes directly towards helping the children and families that we support.

Choosing a Charity of the Year is a great way of helping us by simultaneously raising funds and increasing awareness over the whole period. Engaging and motivating the entire school community on a longer term fundraising commitment, children will gain a deeper understanding of the real difference that our charity is making to the lives of local families whose children are seriously ill.

The Rowans School
“Our School Council nominated Momentum Children’s Charity as our local Charity of the Year – the whole school community has shown huge enthusiasm and generosity to support this wonderful local charity helping children who are seriously ill. A representative from Momentum Children’s Charity has visited the school and helped the children to understand more about the charity and what their fundraising can do to help others.”

Castle Hill Primary School
"We couldn't think of a better charity! We have loved supporting Momentum this year, from chocolate competitions, to assemblies and lots in between! The children, parents and staff have loved doing our little bit to support children and their families." 

Resources to help you fundraising

There is a lot that we can offer to bring Charity of the Year to life at your school and we will do whatever we can to inspire you and support your fundraising:

• Fundraising materials - we can supply branded materials such as posters, balloons, collection tins, Mo the Owl costume, information leaflets as well as downloadable resources to help you promote your fundraising events.
• School Assemblies - we would be delighted to come and talk about Momentum at one of your assemblies. To arrange, contact info@moment-um.org
• Teaching Resources - we also have some fantastic classroom resources to share with you, including age-appropriate films and animations narrated by Momentum children about their experience of cancer or a serious illness. These could be used in PHSE lessons, during a week when you may be running a fundraising activity.
• Fantastic Fundraising Ideas - we have a host of great ideas to help your school, pupils and staff to raise lots of money.
