Fundraising and Events

At School in a Bag, we believe every child deserves the tools to learn, grow and build a brighter future. Our small but dedicated fundraising team works hard to attend as many events as possible to spread our message and raise vital funds, but we couldn’t do it without the help of amazing volunteers like you! From local fetes, community shows, and charity fairs to larger events and our own fundraising activities, every event helps us share our story and raise vital funds to send SchoolBags to disadvantaged children around the world. We also run our own events throughout the year — from family-friendly fundraisers to our annual music festival. Some events happen at weekends, others during the week, and opportunities are available across the South West.

Whether you can spare a few hours now and then or offer regular support, volunteering with us is a fantastic way to meet new people, be part of a passionate team, and help deliver hope to children around the world, one SchoolBag at a time. 🎒 Whatever your availability, we’d love to hear from you!
