Schools, Colleges and Universities are some of our top fundraisers! This year we need you to help us smash our target of 45,000! Fundraising is a great opportunity to get people working together and to raise awareness of HIV.
How you can help
There are loads of ways your school or university can help us raise money. You could make us your charity of the year and hold a number of fundraising events. For ideas on what works click here.
Last year schools, colleges and universities all over the country took part in different fundraising activities - there were non-uniform days, fashion shows, concerts and many more!
Individuals also fundraise outside school and uni. In September, Tyrone Takirwa raised over £150 by taking part in a sponsored "stay awake". He was sponsored by friends and family to stay awake for twenty-four hours. Well done Tyrone!

Ellie Ratcliffe reports from Oxford High School about how they marked World AIDS Day...
To raise money and awareness for HIV, our school participated in World AIDS Day by having a Red Accessories Day. Both pupils and staff paid £1 in advance for a red ribbon, which they wore on the day as well as a red accessory of their choice.
Everyone loved decorating their uniform. The younger girls spent days planning what they would bring.
“It was really cool and I wore my red cowboy hat and my red converse boots!”
Emily, Year Seven
The sixth formers could wear red entirely, and the teachers joined in too. There were some very original ideas, but everyone wore the red ribbon.
Our Headmistress commented on how fantastic everyone looked during a special assembly in the morning, and decided that a photo should be taken to commemorate the event. We raised a total of £317.21 and everyone really enjoyed it.
