School Fundraising

School Fundraising

Schools have the power to create real change, inspiring students and the wider school community to make a meaningful difference in the world. By fundraising with Concern Worldwide, your school can provide life-changing support to families facing hunger, poverty, and crisis, while fostering compassion and awareness among young people. 

Every effort, no matter how big or small, helps transform lives and build a better future for communities in need. 

There are so many ways your school community can come together to fundraise and make a difference. It’s a great opportunity to inspire teamwork, creativity, and compassion while supporting a vital cause. Below, you’ll find some fun and impactful ideas to get started!

Bag pack in your local supermarket
