Educational support for fundraising

Before you start raising money... Oxfam Fundraising Guide for Schools

Raising money can be a springboard to help young people become active global citizens in a range of ways. We have produced a new guide that sets out important questions to think about before raising money for charity, which includes practical tips and teaching ideas as well as pointing you to sources of information and activities to help you and your pupils get the most out of supporting charities.

Oxfam Unwrapped

Schools have always been great supporters of Oxfam Unwrapped, so we’ve produced a schools’ pack for teachers and pupils of every age to help you find out more and raise money. With our primary and secondary school packs, you’ll find loads of engaging, curriculum-friendly materials to support lively lessons with a difference.
