Schools, colleges and pre-schools
We’ve always had lots of support from local schools, colleges and pre-schools. That’s because our work with schools is a two way thing.
In every school we visit we deliver our messages via:
- Assembly presentations
- Curriculum linked fundraising activities
Our assembly presentations are interactive, using our simulation spectacles. And our fundraising ideas fit well with the Every Child Matters agenda - especially ‘enjoying and achieving’ and ‘making a positive contribution.’
We’ve got lots of ideas about how schools can fundraise for us. How about holding a Wear Bright for Sight event instead of the traditional ‘non-uniform’ day? Check out our school fundraising ideas section!
Our feedback from schools is always positive. Henshaws in Newcastle held a week of assemblies at Churchill Community College, speaking to over 1400 young people. The school reported that the children’s attitudes towards vulnerable people and people who are ‘different’ really changed - and there was a notable reduction in cases of bullying.
So whether you’re a pupil, parent, teacher or group leader – get in touch with your local office and let’s get fundraising!
