How schools can get involved

The Hi 5 Challenge

Our High 5 Fundraising Challenge is specifically aimed at Sixth form and College students, to develop their own fundraising initiatives to raise money for our charity.

In line with several of the Gatsby Benchmarks, this challenge has been designed for students to learn from career and labour market information, link curriculum learning to careers, and present some opportunities to experience workplaces.

We hope that these young people can use the High 5 Challenge to practice entrepreneurship, creativity, and teamwork whilst raising money for North London Hospice in these five simple steps:

• STEP 1 We can deliver a presentation to your school on the High 5 Fundraising Challenge and take any initial questions.
• STEP 2 Enter your teams! We will present each team with a business starter kit** and ask them to present a proposal for their fundraising initiative.
• STEP 3 We will meet with them to discuss their enterprising ideas and give them their seed money (£5-£30 depending on their proposal outline).
• STEP 4 Students will use the time to bring their ideas to life and grow their seed money. They can choose to execute their business plan over a half-term, full-term, or several terms.
• STEP 5 The money raised by the challenge is donated to the hospice and will go towards helping to deliver the vital end-of-life care services that North London Hospice provides.

**The starter kit will include templates for their business plan, A-Z fundraising guide, and information on what North London Hospice is and how we work.

Along the way, our North London Hospice team will provide support via meetings and branded supplies to ensure each term are getting the help they need to achieve their business plan.

Fundraising for a worthy cause in your school or college can be as fun as it is rewarding. Many young people within our community have been directly or indirectly touched by the work of North London Hospice, and we hope to continue educating the future generations on the importance of free, high quality, end-of-life care. Having your school on-board for the High 5 Fundraising Challenge will help us spread awareness of our work and is invaluable to the Hospice.

We also appreciate that talking about hospice care with young people can be a difficult and sensitive subject. With this in mind, we are always happy to arrange a speaker to visit your school to host a presentation or informal discussion, tailored to your school and audience.
