About Funds4School

Funds4School turns children's artwork into personalised Christmas gifts that families keep for years, and raises money for your school or nursery with every order.

Where we started

We’re new, and we’d rather say so up front. Last Christmas we ran a pilot with Ponteland Primary School to test every step: the art forms, parent ordering, production and delivery back into school. It worked, the families loved it, and the school raised over £1,000 for their pupils while doing it. That’s why you’ll see one testimonial here rather than fifty. This year we’re ready to deliver at scale.

Who's behind it

The name is new. The people, the presses and the experience are not.

Funds4School is run by Bang On Print & Design, a Newcastle print and design studio established for over 20 years and rated 5 stars by our customers on Google. We already work with many schools, nurseries and organisations that support children, producing everything from school planners to event and fundraising print.

Made in our own studio

Everything is produced in house. Your children’s artwork is scanned, set up and printed by our own team, and every gift is finished and packed here before it comes back to school. Textiles such as pyjamas, teddy T-shirts and stockings are decorated using dye sublimation, which bonds the ink into the fabric so the artwork stays bright and won’t crack or peel in the wash.

Because we control every stage ourselves, we control the quality and the timings too.

Personalised books since 2018

Our sister company, Bang On Books, has been creating personalised children’s story books since 2018. Each book features the child’s name, photo and their own illustrated character, and our books have been featured in The Times and Mail Online. Those same stories, including our Christmas adventure Santa Socks, are part of the Funds4School range.

We'd love to help your school have its best Christmas fundraiser yet.
