Fundraising Resources

Our work simply wouldn’t be possible without you, our committed and innovative fundraisers. Whether you're organising your own fundraising event or are a member of a branch or supporter group, we’ve put together a number of useful resources for you.

Remember, you don't have to do it all yourself, ask local schools, churches and other groups to join in.

How To Guides

Always wanted to run a fun, new, exciting event but never knew where to start? Here is a list of 'How To Guides' on running simple and successful events. Many of these are currently being held by Supporter Groups across the country and can be copied by YOU in your region. By running any of the events listed below you can make truly dramatic change for children with the money you raise.    

Promoting your event

If you need help creating promotional materials for your event, you can contact your local fundraising administrator.

If you are a retail or supporter group volunteer, you can order fundraising resources (tins, balloons etc) directly from our resources warehouse. See the forms section for the latest warehouse catalogue. Individual fundraisers should contact their local Save the Children representative or supporter care: supporter.care@savethechildren.org.uk.
