Fundraise at school

Fundraising at your school or kura is a great opportunity to involve tamariki/children, tauira/students, kaiako/teachers and wider staff and whānau in activities that improve mental wellbeing while raising money to support Diabetes NZ. Take inspiration from these ideas or create your own. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you have fun doing it!
