When schools fundraise for stem4, they help us reach thousands of young people with essential early-intervention mental health support. Whether it's a one-off charity day, a sponsored challenge, or a year-long partnership, every pound you raise makes a real difference.
How Your School Can Get Involved
There are so many ways your school community can support teenage mental health. From fun, creative events to awareness-raising campaigns, we'll help you make your fundraiser impactful and rewarding.
Think Positive, Go Purple!
Bring your school together with our Think Positive, Go Purple initiative, a perfect way to combine fundraising with wellbeing activities.
Host purple-themed non-uniform days, run sponsored events, or organise student-led assemblies that encourage positive thinking and mental resilience.
We'd love to hear your ideas and see how we can support you to make your event a success. Contact us at education@stem4.org.uk and share your plans.
Make Us Your Charity of the Year
Choosing stem4 as your school or house charity of the year creates a shared goal for staff, pupils, and parents.
With a whole year to plan and take part in activities, your school can make a lasting impact on teenage mental health while building a meaningful relationship with our charity.
Youth Mental Health Day
Every year on the 19th of September, stem4 leads Youth Mental Health Day (YMHD), a national opportunity to start conversations, raise awareness, and take positive action for mental health.
Each year has a unique theme to inspire activities in schools. This year, why not also use YMHD as a fundraising day for stem4? You could host a themed non-uniform day, organise a sponsored walk, run a bake sale, or hold a wellbeing fair, linking your fundraising to the day's theme spreads awareness and supports our work at the same time.

First Give
Local secondary schools can also support stem4 by nominating us as one of your chosen charities when taking part in the First Give philanthropic programme. If your students choose us, a member of our staff will be happy to help your students prepare their presentation and provide them with resources.
Or, if your school is further afield, you can book a Zoom call with our Education Coordinator at education@stem4.org.uk.
