🎒 Top Tip #2: Promotion 📣

If people don't know about your fundraiser, they can't support it!

One of the easiest ways to increase donations is by spreading the word as much as possible. Share regular reminders on your school's social media pages, include updates in newsletters, mention it during assemblies, display posters around the school, and encourage parents to tell friends and family.

The more people who hear about your Happy School Bag fundraiser, the more bags you're likely to collect.

Need a helping hand? We've got you covered! We can provide promotional materials and social media graphics to help your fundraiser reach as many people as possible.

Remember... the more you bring, the more your school will earn! 💚♻️

🎒 We're launching a brand new mini series! 💚

Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing our top tips to help schools get the most out of their Happy School Bag fundraisers.

💡 Tip #1: Clear Communication

One of the biggest factors in a successful fundraiser is making sure everyone understands what you're raising money for and why it matters.

Whether it's new playground equipment, classroom resources, school trips or technology, sharing your fundraising goal helps parents and pupils feel connected to the cause and encourages more people to get involved.

Every bag of unwanted clothing makes a difference. Not only are you raising valuable funds for your school, but you're also giving perfectly reusable clothing a second life and helping reduce textile waste.

Remember... the more you bring, the more your school will earn! ♻️💚

🐸 Ready to take a leap into easy fundraising? 💚

Our Happy School Bag Drop Boxes are a toad-ally brilliant way for schools to collect gently used unwanted clothing all year round.

Just hop by, drop your items in, and let them do the rest! Every donation helps keep perfectly good clothing out of landfill while raising valuable funds for your school. That's what we call a frog-tastic win-win! ♻️

The best part? There's no need to wait for a collection day. Families can donate whenever it's convenient, making it easy to keep the donations hopping in throughout the year.

If your school is looking for a fundraising idea that's simple, sustainable and un-frog-gettable, we'd be hoppy to help you get started. After all, every little hop makes a big splash! 🐸💚

Don't let unwanted clothes hop into the bin! 🐸💚

Looking for a simple way to raise extra funds for your school while helping the environment?

A Happy School Bag Textile Bank could be just the thing! Schools can have a textile bank installed on site, giving families an easy place to donate unwanted clothing, paired shoes, handbags, belts, hats and accessories.

From our experience, textile banks work toad-ally well! Every bag collected helps generate valuable funds for schools, while keeping reusable textiles out of landfill. It's a win-win for everyone. 🌱

Please note: School uniforms and wet, ripped, soiled or unwearable clothing can't be accepted.

If your school is looking for an easy fundraising idea that makes a real difference, why not hop on board? Every bag can go a long way! 💚🐸
