charity of the year
Most schools adopt a charity each term, and HOPEHIV always needs kind and generous new homes. We’d love it if your school were one of them.
Choosing HOPEHIV as your school’s Charity of the Year is a great way to empower your students and staff to create hope and opportunity for some of the world’s most vulnerable children. Our goal is to help the children you serve realise that they’ve got the potential, skills, enthusiasm and talents needed to be world changers, no matter how young they are. We’d love it if they were to start by investing their potential in that of the young people we serve in Africa, by raising funds and awareness about HOPEHIV over the whole academic year.
What’s involved?
Choosing HOPEHIV as your Charity of the Year means it focuses all your school’s fundraising efforts on raising money for our work in Africa. How you do that is up to you, there’s no set formula. You could opt to hold a Charity Day every half term, with different activities each time like dress-down days, bake sales or school discos. Or you could concentrate all your main fundraising push into one week by putting on a large number of different events, for example talent shows, auctions, quizzes, or sponsored walks.
What can we offer?
- Lesson ideas: Supporting us throughout the school year gives the opportunity for students to learn more about our work and their peers in Africa. We have pulled together a list of lesson ideas for each key stage which will help them explore HOPEHIV whilst also supporting various parts of their curriculum. These could be used in lessons, form periods or charity clubs. Lesson Ideas
- Fundraising ideas: Our non-uniform day Footie Shirt Friday is a great way to get the whole school involved. We’ve got loads more ideas here.
- Fundraising tools: Story posters, HOPEHIV videos, sponsor forms - you name it, we’ve got it here and here. And we’ve got some printed leaflets we could post too. Basically we’ll do our best to supply you with everything you need!
Contact us!
If you are interested in choosing HOPEHIV as your Charity of the Year or would like to support us in any other way please call +44 (0)20 8288 4295 or email lindsay@hopehiv.org. We’d like to make sure your year is a very special one for you and your students.

We see hope in Henry, Will and Nick.
Harry McKay, Will Nelson and Nick Desclee are all 4th form students at King College Wimbledon. They took on the SEP in January 2011 as a year group. Their original idea was to hold a film night for students to turn their £10 into £100; after some complications they landed on the idea of holding a wine tasting evening for parents, concluding that this was where the true money lies! Henry spent five weeks travelling around Wimbledon village and writing endless emails to collect donations for an auction and gaining sponsorship for the event. After much hard work they managed to sell 51 tickets to the event and on the night raised a staggering total of £1,503!
“The project gave all three of us a fantastic experience, and we hope to continue fundraising in the future.”
