Schools not fundraising for children in need

[elliejjtiny]

Is it just my dc's schools or are lots of schools doing it? This year both my dc's schools have announced that they are not fundraising for children in need this year. Older dc's secondary school is raising money for the local foodbank. Younger dc's primary school is raising money for a local project that is providing lunches for children who get free school meals during the school holidays.

Just wondering if other schools are doing similar? From a selfish point of view I am a bit worried about what will happen if children in need get a lot less money this year as we benefit personally from children in need.

Dds school were amazing.

We are fundraising for the chemo unit that treats dh (stage 4 terminal bowel cancer) dd is shaving her head in December!

The school had a non uniform day and are giving the donations to our GoFundMe page.

Rotten to hear the loubieloo

It makes sense for schools to be choosie on what they support esp as the things they can do are limited, can't do discos, can't do cake sales, can't to bring and buy etc.
Schools themselves also have extra costs that need covered, extra photocopying, etc
