This year Sport Relief will take on a different look, with events across the whole week rather than the weekend as has been the case in the past. The organisers have expanded the way individuals, groups, organisations and indeed schools can get involved. Schools can even order their own FREE fundraising back via this link https://www.sportrelief.com/schools
In the past the fundraising has been centred around key events such as the Sport Relief Mile, where participants could run/walk 1, 3 or 6 miles. This year there will be a much greater variety of activity for the country to get involved in and indeed run themselves.
In Angus we have a great number of schools who use the Daily Mile to get young people more active. Why not order your free pack and dedicate your Daily Mile to Sport Relief from Mon 19th – Fri 23rd March, maybe even invite the local community to join you on a set day that week? A great way to raise money for a great cause and raise activity levels at the same time! If a ‘Mile’ event isn’t right for your school, there are some other equally good ideas on the website. You can even set up your own donation page for your school.
The website also includes some great learning resources that can be used in the classroom to raise awareness of what Sport Relief is all about and the impact the fund raising is making.
Get active. Raise money. Change lives
