One way everyone can support the vital work of Handicap International around the world is to get involved in fundraising!
We would be delighted to hear from you if you are interested in raising funds for us in your school. We believe that fundraising should be an educational experience - raising funds for Handicap International is a great opportunity to learn about global issues related to disability at the same time. There are lots of different ways for you, your class and your whole school to get involved.

New guidelines for fundraising with young people
We believe that involvement in fundraising activities can be motivating and fun for young people, as well as supporting charities in their work. Such experiences also have huge educational potential to develop young people's understanding and skills as active, responsible citizens, allowing them to engage with underlying issues, consider a range of ways to effect change and carry out safe, effective fundraising.
A new set of guidelines, developed in partnership with the Development Education Association (DEA) and a group of charities, highlights and details these principles.
