Why PTA Fundraising Matters More Than Ever! (And How We Want to Make it Easier)

PTA fundraising has become one of the most important forces supporting schools today.

Across the UK, PTAs raise over £120 million every year and help create the moments that shape a child’s experience of school - from trips, workshops and creative opportunities to sports equipment and team experiences.

These are the things that build children's confidence, spark curiosity, and make learning memorable.

Powered by parents

Behind this impact is a huge volunteer effort, with parent groups across the UK organising over 120,000 community events every year—from summer fairs and discos to sponsored challenges and Christmas markets.

And of course they do this while juggling jobs, families, and everything else life demands.

The real challenge: time and ideas

Most PTAs don’t struggle with willingness—they struggle with capacity.

Coming up with new fundraising ideas year after year is hard and running them is even harder.

Over time, even the most successful formats can start to lose momentum. Energy dips. Engagement drops. And the pressure on a small group of volunteers grows.

Where the right support makes a difference

This is where thoughtful, low-admin fundraising options can genuinely help.

Not by replacing the community events that bring schools together - but by complementing them.

The best solutions don’t ask more from already-stretched volunteers. Which is why we want to provide a simple, low-fuss way for PTAs to raise additional funds while offering something fresh and engaging for families across the school community.
