Here are just a few fundraising ideas which you could also use to help raise funds for your next school sports tour!
Sports quiz night
Why not hold a sports quiz night in your school hall, along the lines of A Question of Sport?
You could charge an entry fee per team and sell refreshments!
Teachers vs students sporting event
Whether it’s netball, football or even crab football, a teachers vs students match will certainly bring in the crowds!
Sell tickets and refreshments to raise funds.
Family sports day
Arrange a festival of sport on your school playing field and invite the school community to join you.
You could sell tickets and refreshments to help you raise funds. You could host a number of parents vs teachers, teachers vs students and students vs parents matches.
You could also have a number of sporting challenges for people to pay to enter, with the winner receiving a prize.
Organise a walkathon
A walkathon is a fantastic, inclusive activity that will not only help to raise funds through sponsorship but could also encourage healthier habits among your school community.
Run, cycle or row your way to a destination
As a group, get sponsored for running, cycling or even rowing to a specific destination. This works best if there’s a destination that has a specific meaning to your school community, such as a partner school abroad or your next sports tour destination.
Take it in turns to do your bit, eventually covering the distance between you.
You may need to borrow some equipment – a local gym may be happy to let you use theirs in return for the good publicity and raising their profile among the school community.
Anything else?
There are a few other ideas you might also like to try, such as bag packing at the local supermarket, running a car wash in the school car park or running a car boot sale. Take a look at our school trip fundraising ideas for a full list.
