Payroll giving
Have a collection box in your place of work or local shop

Do you or a family member have a musical talent? Then why not hold a concert?

Have an Easter egg hunt with lots of clues to find the chocolate eggs

Take on a challenge and raise funds for Pestalozzi

Thanks to Chris Bater who recently ran the Bristol 10km to raise funds for Pestalozzi. Chris ran in memory of a former teacher, David Perkins, who used to collect money for Pestalozzi when he was a German and French teacher at QEH School, Bristol. As well as playing rugby, David was involved with Bristol schools rugby for many years and was a keen runner.

Are there any running events close to you that you could participate in as a fundraising opportunity? There are over 500 half marathons in the UK every year! What about the Great North Run, the Great Birmingham Run or the iconic London Marathon? How about setting yourself a personal challenge and take part in a 10km or a 5km run?

If you have been fortunate enough to secure a place, please consider supporting Pestalozzi as your charity of choice in 2023. You’ll receive a running vest to wear when training and on the race day, as well as sponsorship information and support from the Pestalozzi team.
