Get Involved as a School
There can be little doubt of the transformative power of education and our school partnerships have raised an incredible £500,000 over the last 10 years.
The funds raised by schools in the UK have gone directly to projects that promote educational opportunity and achievement for young people in Zambia – young people whose aspirations would otherwise be severely limited.
All our partnerships with UK schools are bespoke and range from Beyond Ourselves providing lesson resources to facilitating educational student trips to Zambia.
A partnership with us will help your young people develop a greater appreciation and understanding of global issues such as poverty, aid and development and contribute effectively towards SMSC goals. In our experience our school partnerships nurture respect, tolerance and a genuine desire by those involved to serve their local and global community, both now and in the future.
We can’t do what we do without these special partnerships with UK Schools so, if you would like to join us on our journey, we’d love to hear from you. Do get in touch!
Explore the many way that you can get involved as a school through our events, by fundraising or by donating.
Events
Who doesn’t love having a fun event at school to ring the changes and raise some funds? You can discover those pupils who are entrepreneurs too and can raise money in different ways. Do let us know what ideas you have but we’ve listed some below if you’re stuck!
Upcoming Event
Royal Parks Half Marathon
On Sunday 8th October we will have 10 runners running raising funds for Beyond Ourselves! It's a great fundraiser and a lovely run through the London parks. If you would like to have a place next year then please do let Karen know via our contact form.

Fundraising
Across the schools we are linked with, there has been a huge variety of ways pupils have raised funds. From readathons to selling roses on Valentines Day.
There have been team events and tournaments in a variety of sports, some of them covering the distance to Zambia!
Donating a day’s lunch money or a week’s coffee money or sweets money.
Zambia days, Mufti Days, Music events…
And from the arty and the entrepreneurial pupils – selling crafts, cards, clothes and cakes. As well as creative business ideas turning £10 into £192!
Not to mention all the miles that have been run over the years including full and half marathons and one extremely keen member of school staff ran 2020 miles in 2020!
Fundraising Inspiration
Sponsored Runs
One school teacher challenged herself to run 2020 miles in 2020. She did this in the space of 45 days!
Playground Challenges
From Nursery School 'Pedal Pushes' to a serious number of laps run around a Secondary School field, Playground Challenges are a great way for all pupils to get involved and raise funds.
