What happens during a school glasses for classes fundraiser?
What you can expect
A Glasses for Classes fundraiser is a fun and impactful way for schools to help provide life-changing vision care to children in need. During the event, students, teachers, and parents come together to raise funds that will go directly towards providing prescription glasses for children who would otherwise struggle with poor vision.
How the fundraiser works
- Schools sign up to take part in the fundraiser and set a fundraising target. This could be organised by a specific class, year group, or the entire school.
- Students and staff take part in creative and engaging fundraising activities. Some popular ideas include:
- Non-uniform days where students donate to wear glasses or dress up in themed outfits.
- Sponsored challenges such as a read-a-thon, a blindfold challenge, or a step challenge.
- Bake sales and charity stalls selling treats or handmade items to raise funds.
- Classroom collections encouraging small, regular donations from students and families.
- Alongside fundraising, schools learn about the impact of vision impairment and how something as simple as a pair of glasses can change a child’s education and future.
- All funds raised go directly to providing prescription glasses for children who need them. Schools receive updates on the difference their efforts have made, helping students see the real-world impact of their support.
