There are two simple ways for your school community to support The Great British Skip and help raise funds for 52 Lives and The School of Kindness.
Option 1: Fundraise & Donate
Host your own fundraiser – a Skipathon, bake sale, non-uniform day, kindness challenge or sponsored event – and donate the funds raised directly to The Great British Skip through GiveStar.
Downloadable sponsorship forms are also available for pupils to collect sponsorship from family and friends.
Option 2: Create a School Fundraising Page
Want to track your school's progress and celebrate what you've raised? Create your own GiveStar fundraising page as part of The Great British Skip event. You'll receive a unique fundraising link to share with families and supporters, set your own target, personalise your page, and see your contribution added to the overall Great British Skip total.
