Hold a collection
If you're planning to hold a collection for us, you need to ensure that you have the right permissions:
-
If you plan to hold your collection on private property, such as a pub or shopping centre, you must get the owner's permission first.
-
If you're holding a street collection, you'll need to apply for a permit from your local council. We can help you with his process, get in touch on 0207 803 1125.
-
Once you have obtained a permit, you will need to let us know the details of those taking part, what time and where.

Schools Fundraising
Many students and teachers raise money for charity in their school. Fundraising is a good way for young people to help support other young people in distress. It can also be an excellent way to build up skills and knowledge.
If you would like to help us by fundraising for us in your school, or your child's school, then please get in touch call 0207 803 1125 or email Jayne. If you are a pupil then please ask a staff member to do this for you.
Schools fundraising ideas
Why not choose us as your charity of the year or term and organise a calendar of fundraising activities. Here are some examples:
-
non uniform day
-
end of term play, music concert of talent show
-
summer / Christmas fair
-
get involved with an existing school event and perhaps have a cake sale on the same day.
Sponsored events
Competition
Why not host a 5 aside football tournament, or host a balloon race?
For many more ideas, please get in touch on 0207 803 1125 or email jcromwell@mhf.org.uk
What students are currently doing
In March 2008 the Student Radio Association presents Hearing Aid - the biggest united effort in the history of UK student radio.
From Edinburgh to Exeter, stations up and down the country will join together to raise a huge amount of money for projects in the UK and Africa that use media to change people’s lives.
Money from Hearing Aid will help to develop, launch and market important new online services.
