Fundraising for schools
Everyone wins this race, except cancer
The difficult decision has been made to pause Race for Life Schools for the time being, but there are still plenty of ways for your school to raise money for life-saving research.
By 2034, our ambition is to see 3 in 4 people surviving cancer - your school can help make that happen. Encourage your pupils and their family and friends to raise as much money as they can either through sponsorship or fundraising and all the money you raise will help us reach our goal. And remember whether you raise £500 or £50, your school is helping to beat cancer.
Get involved
There are so many other great ways for your school to raise money for life-saving research. You can find fundraising ideas on our website and register for a free fundraising pack.
You can even set up your very own Cancer Research UK Giving Page. This is the easiest and most secure way to collect your school’s fundraising money.
Share your online Giving Page link with your pupils and their family and friends to help boost your fundraising.
Why your fundraising matters
Cancer is smart, but we're smarter.
Cancer Research UK scientists are working really hard to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer so that we can help more people survive, and do so with a good quality of life.
Here are just some of the things we do:
- We fund over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses
- At our 15 research centres, we work closely with universities, NHS trusts, government, industry and other charities
- Our nurses provide support and information about cancer online and over the phone
- We keep cancer high on the political agenda
But none of this would be possible without the support and fundraising efforts of schools like yours!
