Fundraising

By fundraising for IPSEA you're doing an amazing thing to improve the lives of thousands of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) across the whole of England.

Whatever you do, the funds you raise for IPSEA will make a real difference to a child or young person’s life and their family. Just £5 could cover the cost of a call to our Advice Line or Tribunal Helpline, whilst larger donations from fundraising efforts could contribute towards the £1,500 it costs to train a new IPSEA volunteer. 

Click on our ideas below for all of the fundraising inspiration you need to get started, or get in touch with our fundraising team – we’d love to support you.
