Fundraising in education

Find out how your school can support your local hospice, whilst having fun and learning…

It costs over £15 million every year to provide our services free of charge to our patients and their loved ones. As a charity, with less than 20% of our funding coming from the NHS, we must raise more than £12 million this year.

We rely on our local community to help us make a big difference to the lives of people across Coventry and Warwickshire.

At The Myton Hospices, we offer a range of engaging fundraising activities designed to fit seamlessly into your school schedule and curriculum.

Our programmes help students learn important values whilst making a real difference to local causes.

With everything provided and full support from our team, participation is easy, fun and rewarding.

Suitable for All Ages

Our fundraising appeals are designed for:

• Nurseries, Preschools and Primary Schools - activities that are hands-on educational and enjoyable.
• Secondary Schools - fundraising opportunities that develop leadership, including assemblies, sponsorship materials and certificates.

We provide all the resources you need to make taking part straightforward, including assemblies, sponsorship materials and certificates.

Fun Fundraising for Preschools and Nurseries

• Welly Walk - a fun sponsored walk to get children moving and exploring outdoors.
• Funflower Walk - children discover wildlife and nature, spotting bees, ladybirds, trees, dandelions and more.

These activities can be run at a time that suits your schedule. We provide sponsorship envelopes, letters and certificates for every child, making it easy to celebrate their participation.

Exciting Activities for Primary Schools

• Care for a Bear - children take care of a bear for a week, learning responsibility whilst fundraising
• Nurse Appeal - pupils take on the characteristics and values of a nurse, such as being kind and hard-working, to raise money and awareness
• Helping Hand - students raise sponsorship by lending a helping hand, such as sharing toys and books, listening to others, or assisting with tasks.

Our team will visit your school to deliver an assembly and provide all the materials you need. Every child who takes part is entered into a draw to win a bear, so everyone can celebrate their efforts regardless of how much they raise.

Teaching values and making a difference

Our programmes support the teaching of key values such as kindness, caring and helpfulness. By delivering assemblies, providing materials and managing the fundraising process, we aim to take some of the pressure off staff whilst offering students a meaningful and enjoyable experience that:

• Develops life skills
• Creates community spirit
• Supports a local charity

Most importantly, you’ll be supporting our vital work, providing care and support for people living with and caring for those with a life-limiting illness. As the only hospice in Coventry and Warwickshire providing specialist palliative and end of life care – and the only one with inpatient beds, your support makes a real difference. Every fundraising effort, no matter the size, helps ensure more people can access the care they so desperately need and deserve.
