Other ways you can help

Here are some suggestions of other ways in which you can help. If you would like to find out more about any of these – or if you have an idea of your own – please do not hesitate to contact us at the SHINE office on 020 8393 1880.

Celebrate for SHINE

Are you getting married, or do you have a birthday or anniversary coming up? Why not add real variety to your wedding or gift list by giving your family and friends the chance to support SHINE?

Compete for SHINE

If you relish the rigour of real competition then we want to hear from you. Whether you prefer the physical demands of competitive sport – such as a triathlon or Iron Man challenge – or favour more cerebral pursuits, why not compete for SHINE and ask your friends and colleagues for sponsorship? Alternatively, organise your own event. Whatever suits you best, call us and we’ll help get you on the starting blocks.

Speak for SHINE

If you regularly speak at industry events, you can ask for your speakers’ fee (or equivalent) to be donated to SHINE.

Write for SHINE

Are you an industry expert? Ever asked to write pieces for newspapers, periodicals or journals? Why not ask your editor to donate the fee for your latest piece to SHINE?

Work with SHINE

If you think your company might like to support SHINE’s work, please get in touch. SHINE is already working with a number of organisations to fund some projects jointly and we have a queue of schools eager to sign up. There are also valuable opportunities for companies to sponsor events, co-host receptions or field volunteers.

With your help, we can offer even the most disadvantaged child a better future through good education.
