Fundraising at School, Nursery or College

Your nursery, school or college can make a positive difference to the many individuals and families that Shine supports.

Organising a fundraising event is a great way for students to learn, raise awareness and have fun for a good cause.

We have three main fundraising and awareness-raising campaigns each year that we would love  your school to get involved in:

  • Hydrocephalus Awareness Week - 10th - 16th March 2025
  • Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Awareness Week - 19th - 25th May 2025
  • Go Yellow for Shine - Friday 20th June 2025
  • Spina Bifida Awareness Week - 20th - 26th October 2025

To express your interest in fundraising as part of one (or all!) of our campaigns, click below and we will be in touch closer to the time with all the details you need. 

Express your interest

Here are just some of the other fun ways to get involved, at any time of year that suits you:

  • Run a non-uniform or fancy dress day
  • Hold a Go Yellow for Shine Day
  • Hats On for Hydrocephalus - wear your hats for the day
  • Have a collection after an assembly or concert
  • Hold a bake sale
  • Organise a fashion show
  • Hold a talent competition

Some schools prefer to organise events around one main ‘charities week’ while others hold events throughout the year, and some have adopted Shine as their Charity of Choice for the year. Whichever way, we really do appreciate such fantastic support and enthusiasm.

If you would like your child's school or nursery to fundraise for Shine then why not suggest it to your teachers, or Parent’s Association and refer them to this webpage?

Fundraising at University

Fundraising at University is a popular activity and you can play a role in putting Shine’s name forward through your RAG, Student Union or even organise your own event.

Organising an event can be a memorable and meaningful experience and a fun way to spend time with friends.

Why not organise a charity collection, we can help you organise this.

You could even organise your own event, whatever works for you. You could organise your own sponsored active group challenge, talent show or even a race night to just suggest a few.

Our fundraising team would be happy to chat with you about your ideas and to offer advice.

We can also support with aspects such as sponsor forms, certificates or promotion. We can offer merchandise such as information leaflets and posters, balloons, t-shirts, certificates,  and collection pots.
