Sponsor your school
Budgets in state-funded schools are tighter than ever. While we are pursuing funding and bid opportunities to enable us to support schools free at point of purchase, the reality is these opportunities are incredibly competitive and difficult to secure (at the time of writing, the figures show that of the £300 billion spent by the government each year on procuring goods and services, only 8% of this goes to VCSE - voluntary, charity and social enterprise - organisations).
This is where school communities and the private sector comes in. If you are a parent of means, involved in a school PTFA, or involved with a business which engages in corporate philanthropy and makes a donation pledge, then you can sponsor your school to help them receive our support.
Whether it’s expanding the school’s book collection to improve the representation of body diversity, broadening their range of body image teaching resources, paying for staff to engage with CPD training, or funding our student workshops for the school’s pupils, there are many ways you can help your school access our support via sponsorship.
Sponsorship options:
Option 1) We can raise an invoice for you or your school’s PTFA (as opposed to your school’s finance office) to cover the cost of the training, workshop, resources or books.
Option 2) You can purchase a gift card from the Body Happy Shop that your school can use to pay for their chosen area of support (listed below).
Option 3) You can make a donation to us through our Donate page and request that we ringfence this donation to cover the cost of the specific item you wish to sponsor. We are always happy to do this.
If you’re an active member of your school’s community you may want to help organise a fundraising effort to pay for the support if this can’t be allocated from PTFA funds. There are many ways that schools are getting creative to fund resources, training and workshops, so the first thing to do would be to speak to your school directly and ask their advice. Ultimately, we can only work with schools who want our support so we always recommend speaking to your school and letting them know about us before organising anything. We’ve created a whole suite of resources which you can access here to help you do this.
Got a question or want to organise one of the above? Email us at hello@bodyhappyorg.com. We are always happy to help.

We are regularly invited to attend special events to run workshops or do talks for both students and staff. We are happy to create bespoke sessions for education festivals, school events and special celebrations so if you’d like us to have a presence but can’t work out the logistics of getting us into your child’s classroom then maybe there’s a school event coming up that you could sponsor our attendance at instead!
