We love working with our local schools and colleges. Students of all ages are a driving force in the future of fundraising.

Fundraising for a worthy cause in your school, college or university can be as fun as it is rewarding. There are many exciting ways to get involved, from organising your own unique event to signing up for fun hikes or adventurous skydives. Taking part in our annual Reindeer Run at your school is great fun during the festive season, where you pick a date and we provide reindeer accessories to accompany a cheerful sponsored one mile race for charity.

Have a look at our list of fundraising ideas to help spark ideas that suit you and your schools best! 

Many young people within our community have experienced hospice care directly or indirectly, with St Raphael’s supporting 1 in 4 people in Merton and Sutton. Connecting with students, and others who are yet to come into contact with a hospice, helps future generations understand the importance of free, quality end of life care. Having your school on-board and helping to spread the word is invaluable to the Hospice.

Our dynamic fundraising team of staff and volunteers enjoy visiting schools, colleges and universities of all kinds and sizes – sharing information about our charity and positive stories that highlight the support available to our community. We are always happy to arrange a speaker to visit your school to host a presentation or informal discussion, tailored to your school and audience.

Setting up a charity partnership is another fantastic way of helping St Raphael’s into the future, choosing us as your charity of choice to support on an ongoing basis. Our fundraising team would be happy to assist you with this and can give you plenty of help and advice.  

Outside of the world of fundraising, there are many other ways to support St Raphael’s, as simple as making a one-off or regular donation. As a charity, we rely heavily on the support of our community and the generosity of your time too. Every minute volunteered or penny donated goes directly into our specialist care, helping us continue to support our patients and those closest to them.

It would be great to have you on board! If you would like more information or to arrange a speaker to visit your school / college, please connect with us by contacting our Supporter Care Team below.
