Key Stage 2'My Favourite Things' Fundraising

In addition, we have also developed a fundraising activity that can easily be incorporated into the Lessons for children within Key Stage 2 or can involve the whole school.

My Favourite Things is a fundraising opportunity coordinated in support of Talk…Don’t Walk. We want to get as many children as we can involved in the event.

We are asking schools to coordinate their own My Favourite Things day. My Favourite Things is simple to organise and easy to take part in and this fundraising pack will give you all the materials and motivation you need to make the most of your day.

Simply ask children to bring their favourite things to school with them on this special day! This might be their favourite toy, teddy, food or pillow - they choose. If it is a pet, a person, or something too large to carry ask them to bring photos instead!

The My Favourite Things event is all about understanding how much we would miss if we were to run away from home. The Talk…Don’t Walk Assembly Plan affords an opportunity to introduce the concept to the whole school and there are various suggestions overleaf of how to further develop discussion around the subject of running away, in lessons.

We have suggested a donation of £1 per child in exchange for bringing in their favourite thing. There is a letter available to download and also a My Favourite Things poster which can be sent home to parents to explain the event to them.

Donations Help make a difference

£10 a month can make a real difference
It could pay for a young run away to receive a session from a qualified counsellor or could allow us to answer a call from a distressed parent and give them vital help and support to ensure that their child stays safe.
