Ideas to raise money with your secondary school

Whether you're thinking about making CHAS your Charity of the Year or simply looking for creative fundraising ideas, we've got plenty of inspiration below to get you started.

Charity of the Year

Choose CHAS as your School Charity of the Year and unite your entire school community in a meaningful cause. Commit to a year of fundraising, organising engaging events, and raising awareness - with our full support every step of the way.

Talent show

Organise a night of fun, where students and teachers can impress the audience with their talents in music, dance, or comedy! Sell tickets to the event, and to boost your fundraising even more, set up a food and beverage stand where attendees can purchase delicious snacks, refreshing drinks, or homemade treats.

Sponsored walk or run

Get your school moving with a fun and active sponsored walk or run. Set a route around the school grounds or in a local park, and have students, teachers, and even parents, gather sponsorships for every mile or lap they complete.

Treasure hunt

Turn your school or local area into a fun adventure with a series of clues that lead participants from one location to the next, each revealing a piece of the final puzzle. Charge an entry fee for participants and offer a prize for the winning team that completes the hunt first.

Sports tournament

Whether it’s football, basketball, volleyball, or a mix of sports, this event is guaranteed to get everyone fired up. Have teams register for a small fee and invite the entire school to come along and cheer them on. For even more excitement, throw in a students vs. teachers match!

Art and craft sale

Showcase your students' incredible artwork and handmade crafts, inviting parents and the community to join. You can sell the pieces or charge a small entry fee, with all proceeds going to support CHAS. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate creativity while making a difference.

School assembly talk

We'd love to visit your school assembly and share the life-changing work CHAS does for children and families across Scotland. Get in touch with us to arrange an inspiring and engaging talk. We'll show your students just how powerful giving back can be, and how they can make a real difference in the lives of others. 

At George Heriots we are proud to have a long-standing partnership with CHAS, where we can see how the support we give each year helps families throughout their CHAS journey. As a school, we are very privileged to support such a wonderful organisation.
