Unsure how Support your school can help you fundraise? We've broken down the process into four easy steps.

Register your school

Start a campaign

Raise donations

Spend your funds

Step 1: Register your school

If you are a teacher or a member of a PTA, you can register your school and set up a Support your school account. If you are an interested parent, you can express interest and we will contact the school on your behalf.

Step 2: Set up a fundraising campaign

Once your account has been approved, you can set up a fundraising campaign page with a unique URL. You can set the fundraising goal and the end date, as well as describe what you aim to fundraise for.

Step 3: Raise donations by sharing your unique campaign page

Share your fundraising campaign URL with your school community, local businesses, and more. At request, we can send you a QR code for you to use in letters, posters and flyers. Through your URL and QR code, your community can donate directly to your campaign during in-person events, whether that’s a bake sale, showcase, or fair.

Step 4: Spend your funds on boosting reading enjoyment

Once you have reached your fundraising goal, simply get in touch with us at hello@supportyourschool.org.uk, or complete the ‘Spend request’ form in your account’s admin.

You can then purchase from Peters the books and furniture you need for your library or reading corners, or even request a library design. Don’t forget to say thank you to your donors and your fundraising team!
