Educating our future

Get your whole school involved with fundraising ideas and resources

Schools Education and Fundraising

We are dedicated to connecting with schools across the nation and understand how much value schools get from working with us.

Walking With The Wounded offer a range of learning resources and free events to schools, youth groups and education providers to teach, inspire and motivate our fundraisers of the future.

Through our services we promote physical activity for mental well-being and resilience. This message applies to young people from all walks of life, equipping them to deal with life’s challenges. 

We are always looking for new ways to engage and collaborate and we would love to hear more from you if you have any further resources or initiatives to develop our programme further.

Insightful Conversations

Our wider team and Ambassadors aim to share insightful stories of life in the Armed Forces and the work we do with those after serving. Our initiatives and talks aim to spark positive conversation around the lives of veterans as they navigate their lives outside of the military for all ages.

Through engaging and innovative fundraising activities, schools have the power to instill empathy, leadership, and community spirit in their pupils, while also making a tangible impact on the lives of those who have served our country.

Below, you'll find a several fundraising ideas tailored for both Primary and Secondary schools. From fun-filled events to educational initiatives, there's something for every age group and interest. Whether you're a teacher looking to inspire your pupils or a pupil eager to make a difference, these ideas are sure to spark creativity and enthusiasm.
