We have all year round ideas to make supporting The Sick Children's Trust a fun experience for your school
Your school can help us support sick children and their families, while providing your students with an opportunity to learn new skills in a fun and inspiring way. These include:
Promote your Party – download an editable poster to display or send in your electronic newsletters informing parents/carers of the date
Fill in the form below to let us know you are having a Pyjama Party and we will be in touch to support you and provide you with a list of activities to make a day of it.
Ask the children to get sponsored by family, friends and neighbours, by raising £40 you are helping a family to stay in one of our ‘Homes from Home’ for one night, giving them one less thing to worry about.
Use our sponsorship forms– download sponsorship forms so the children can take them home. Once your Pyjama Party is over, collect forms and funds raised and send them back to us.
Set up a JustGiving page – with your school or nursery’s name and link it to our main campaign page here justgiving.com/campaign/sctpyjamaparty and share the link on your poster, on your newsletters and ask parents and carers to share with their networks.
Or
Bring in a £1 donation on the day to take part- ask children and teachers to bring in this small donation to take part
It costs us £40 a night to support a family in one of our ‘Homes from Home’. We all rely on our mobile phones, but could you give yours up for 40 hours and raise £40 to help families with a sick child in hospital?
Whether you have a competition with your friends at school or university or you and your family stop using your phone’s for a weekend you’ll be helping families when they need it.
“My form took on the phone amnesty challenge to raise money for The Sick Children’s Trust. We wanted a fun challenge that would help the students appreciate what they have compared to those less fortunate. We started the challenge with the slogan “look up and stop missing amazing moments”, whether that be time with their families or experiences they went to.
My form liked the idea of doing the challenge as a competition, so we made the challenge bigger and got the whole year group involved. We sent a letter explaining the challenge to their parents, along with a sponsorship form, and decided it would have most impact if the challenge took place over the weekend. That way, the students had the opportunity to spend quality time with their families.
In the letter we also explained some simple instructions for them to follow. Students were asked to hand over their mobile phone to to their parents on Friday evening, to be returned on Sunday.
After the amnesty weekend it was lovely to talk to students and share their experiences about their weekend, many felt it was successful in helping them spend more quality time with their loved ones, and it had helped them to realise that they had been over-relying on their mobile phones.”
We can talk to you about the ways we can work together and the difference your support will make to sick children and their families.
