I AM writing to ask schools in the local area to help us with some festive fundraising this Christmas.

At World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), we have started a new festive fundraising campaign for schools, with lots of fun and healthy ideas to get children and teachers into the holiday spirit.

We can provide schools with collection tins, stickers and posters to help with your event, and downloadable activity sheets full of simple but engaging ideas, including healthy recipe menus, crafty competitions and themed fancy dress days.

For more information, people can visit http://www.wcrf-uk.org/fundraising">www.wcrf-uk.org/fundraising to download their free seasonal fundraising resource kit or email [email protected]">[email protected]
