Schools and community groups
The support we receive from our schools and community groups is greatly appreciated
You can make a difference
There are countless ways to raise money for King George and Queen’s Hospitals Charity and our team is here to help you every step of the way. By fundraising for us, you'll be supporting patients, their loved ones, and the dedicated staff who care for them.
School Fundraising
Why not get your school, college or education group involved in fundraising for its local hospitals?
Promote a sense of community and learn valuable skills by rallying behind your local hospital’s charity. From wear your own clothes days to bake sale, there are lot of ways you can get involved. Fundraising for us is an excellent opportunity to bring your school together and understand the importance of helping others. Our charity would be delighted to support you with any ideas you may have, and we are available to visit your school for a talk about our charity and fundraising.
Make us your Charity of the Year
You could support King George and Queen's Hospitals Charity all year round by making us your Charity of the Year. This is a brilliant way to actively engage students about the work we do and gain a deeper understanding of how we support our local hospitals.
We would love a chance to talk to you about how your school can help make a difference across our hospitals, please get in touch with us.
Reindeer Run
Over the past 5 years, our charity has organised a Reindeer Run campaign. The Reindeer Run is a great way for your school to raise funds for your local hospital, helping improve and enhance the care for local children which is especially important over the Christmas period when families so want to be together at home.
Community clubs, groups and associations
Are you part of a local club, group, or association that wants to make a difference and support your local hospitals? Whatever community group you're part of, fundraising together as a group is a fantastic way to raise funds, have fun, and make new friends along the way.
Here are some ways you and your group can help:
- Choose us as your 'Charity of the Year,' and we'll collaborate with you to promote your fundraising activities in the community through our social media, newsletters, and local press
- Display collection boxes in your regular meeting places
- Help raise awareness of our events and campaigns
Spreading the word about our charity is just as important as raising funds. We would welcome the opportunity to visit your group and discuss our charity and ways in which your members can contribute.
