YOUR SCHOOLFUNDRAISING pack!

Champions of Change is an exciting education initiative that puts children in charge. They’ll plan and run their own fundraising events to raise money for BBC Children in Need. As a result, they’ll develop new skills based on curriculum requirements, have loads of fun and raise money to help children and young people across the UK who need it most.

Last year’s trial of Champions of Change was a phenomenal success. Pupils were inspired and empowered by their fundraising and teachers were impressed by the ready-to-use resources which made the whole process simple.

This year, with your help, our ambition is to make 2015 the biggest fundraising year yet, positively impacting more children than ever before.

Change starts here!

Thank you in advance for your support.

You can fi nd all the

Pudsey goodies you need,

in our online shop

�ur class did lots of fundraising activities for BBC Children in Need.

It was great to be in charge and as a result of our lessons and discussions we had many fundraising activities for the

whole school. We had a nail bar, a tattoo parlour, a bake sale, face painting, beat the goalie, Pudsey bracelets and lots more! We raised a staggering £1,500!

Now it’syour turn

What’s it like to be a Champion?

Make sure pupils know

that they are in charge

but point out which

teachers will be on hand

to help as they plan

their events

Get started todayPupils’ fi rst step in planning their Launch

Assembly is to go online. Here they can:

• Download the Champions Log Book to help

and guide them on their fundraising journey.

• Check out the Launch Presentation to use

in your assembly.

• View videos of some of the children who

have been helped through money from

BBC Children in Need that they can use to

highlight the ways their fundraising can help.

Pupils will need to plan an exciting Launch Assembly to kick-start Champions of Change in your school. Allow plenty of time for planning and brief them that their assembly needs to:

Take a day o� from school assembly and hand the reins over to the pupils.

Get the whole school excited about all the activities coming up.

Inspire people to want to join in the fun and get involved.

Grab everyone’s attention.

Inform pupils about what Champions of Change is and why you’re fundraising.

Get pupils thinking about what specifi c information

they could add to their presentation – your school’s

fundraising target, plans for activities or some

information about BBC Children in Need projects

in your area?

Encourage pupils to play to each person’s

strengths as they plan their assembly and make

sure to set aside enough time to rehearse.

Don’t forget to check out the lesson plans online

to help pupils understand and connect with the

cause and get to grips with planning their event.

Get started todayRound up the school’s keenest bakers and

cake-lovers to form ‘Team Bake’.

Decide how you’re going to raise money

through your baking.

Promote your event and make sure people

know to come to school with some cash

that day. Find posters that you can customise

at www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/

Dig out those recipe books and bring out your inner baker. Here are loads of ways that baking can bring in the dough…

Hold a great big bake saleOrganise the biggest, best cake sale your school has ever seen. Why not make it themed? Spotty buns and Pudsey biscuits are sure to get people parting with their cash.

Picnic with PudseySell tickets for a giant teddy bear’s picnic in Pudsey’s honour. You could hold it in the school fi eld or hall. Charge people to attend with their favourite teddy and provide baked treats for the human guests.

Guess the weightPut those catering trays to good use and bake an enormous cake. Maybe each class or year group could bake a layer. Those not involved in the baking can decorate! Charge pupils to guess the weight and whoever’s closest wins!

This is the bit where you get to

have loads of fun and raise loads

of cash. If you’re looking for a bit

of inspiration, read on…

Take action and raise money BAKE!

Get started todayRally the support of your most competitive

friends and form ‘Team Challenge’.

to get involved. Find posters online at

www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/

championsofchange

If you’re running a sponsored event, give out

sponsorship forms to everyone taking part and

encourage them to fi ll them up with sponsors!

If you’re up for a challenge and like a laugh, then a challenge fundraiser is the one for you.

Get activeWhether it’s walking, running, cycling, dancing, space hopper-ing or a good old penalty shootout, sporty sponsorship is a great way to raise money and get fi t!

Give it upWhat can’t you live without? Sweets? Magazines? Your games console? TV? Get sponsored to give something up for a week and donate the money you raise.

Spelling beeTest yourselves and your friends in a spelling bee competition. Why not get your teachers involved to see if they’re as clever as they think?

Roll up!How about organising a lunchtime Pudsey fair, with stalls and games for pupils to try? Old favourites like tombolas, treasure hunts and sponge the teacher are sure to get the money rolling in!

CHALLENGE!

Your school’s sure to be packed with talented individuals just waiting for the chance to shine.

Stage a talent showCalling all mini-magicians, budding Beyoncés and riveting writers! A talent show gives everyone a chance to shine in their own unique way. Charge each entrant and let the donations build up along with the talent.

Sing your heart out!Give all those would-be pop stars their moment in the spotlight at lunchtime karaoke. Charge singers per song and, to really boost your fundraising, charge the audience to come and listen.

Pudsey’s galleryCreate paintings, drawings or sculptures inspired by BBC Children in Need then auction them o� at a special gallery show for family and friends.

Get started todayWhether you’re a singer, dancer, actor

or artist, join up with your friends to form

‘Team Entertain’.

Decide on what your entertainment will be.

Organise who will do what and start promoting

your event. Remember there are posters

online at www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/

championsofchange. Or use your

home-grown talent and make your own.

You could raise money through ticket sales,

auction or competition entry fees.

Get rehearsing – practice makes perfect!

ENTERTAIN! Rummage through the dressing-up box and dig out those superhero costumes… It’s time to not just be a fundraising hero, but to look like one too!

Get started todayWho always accessorises their uniform?

Who wears the most fl amboyant costumes

on World Book Day? These are the people

to form ‘Team Dress Up’!

Make sure everyone knows what’s going on.

Put up posters and tell pupils in assembly.

You can download and customise your

posters at www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/

On the big day, charge everyone to come

to school in costume.

Superhero styleCelebrate your school’s heroic fundraising e� orts with a hero-themed fancy dress day and charge your classmates for dressing up for the day.

Pudsey-fy yourselvesShow your respect for Pudsey by wearing his ears, wristbands, bandanas and badges with pride! You can get them all online or make your own. Ask everyone to bring in a donation on the day.

Hair dareCharge people to have a mad hair day – the bigger and crazier the better – wigs allowed. You could even turn it into a competition and award a prize for the craziest hair.

DRESS-UP! Photocopy this page as a pupil resource

At the end of your fundraising journey, make time for pupils to celebrate what they’ve achieved with a Celebration of Champions assembly.

The Celebration of

Champions will be an

assembly like no other. Enjoy it!

This is a time for pupils to look back on all the fun activities that have been going on in school and to be proud of all that they’ve achieved.

It’s a time to thank everyone who has taken part in fundraising activities, whether through planning or running events, clearing up afterwards or simply joining in and donating money. Everyone has played their part in changing the lives of children who are just like them but who are going through a di� cult time.

Finally, this is a time for pupils to take to the stage and entertain each other with singing, dancing, music, jokes and magic. And to round the whole thing o� , announce how much money the school has raised!

This is your Champions of Change grand fi nale. Make it unforgettable.

CELEBRATEIN STYLE

Get started todayAnother chance for pupils to develop their

event-planning, organisational and team-

working skills. There are loads of resources

at www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/

championsofchange to help them plan

their Celebration of Champions.

They’ll need to decide on the entertainment –

singing, dancing, magic, jokes… Whatever they

do, it should involve as many people as possible.

Pupils should collect information about all the

fundraising activities to present at the celebration

– any budding researchers or journalists out there?

Perhaps certifi cates could be awarded on the day

for categories like most original fundraising idea,

event that raised the most or the most fun event.

If you’ve been fi lming events or taking photos,

put together a display to show o� the school’s

collective fundraising e� orts.

Every penny you give will go towards helping children in real need, just like Harman…

Imagine not being able to tell if something is too hot or too sharp to touch. Eight year old Harman can’t feel pain. His mum fi rst noticed this when Harman had trouble learning to walk and when he didn’t notice he was touching a hot iron. She took him to hospital where doctors discovered that he had a problem with his spine. This means that his spinal chord is tangled and he has di� culty talking, eating, feeling and going to the toilet.

So when he wanted to go to a play group, Harman’s mum was worried. Then she found out about Include Me Too near their home in Wolverhampton. There, Harman can make friends, play safely and have a go at Bollywood dancing, African drumming, bowling, games and lots more. Thanks to money from BBC Children in Need, Harman and other disabled children can go on trips, have fun and explore the outside world.

THANK YOUFOR HELPINGHARMAN

We’ve been coming to Include Me

Too for three years and Harman

is so calm and relaxed here.

Because of this project I have

a confi dent young boy.

Just before you let them loose…make sure pupils know who they can turn to for support with their fundraising.There are at least four sources of help below, you might think of more:

Their fi rst port of call is each other – they’ll be amazed at what they can achieve together. Group work allows pupils to bounce around ideas, help each other out, pull together as a team and have a laugh!

As the school’s lead teacher for Champions of Change – reassure pupils that if they’re worried or unsure about something, you’ll always be on hand.

Family members – it’s their job to help! And there’s loads of roles they can fi ll: sponsor, baker, audience member, chau� eur…

If your school has a Lloyds Bank volunteer, remind the pupils to make the most of their fundraising advice and fi nancial know-how.
