We signed up to Read and Raise after an email to the school email caught my eye. It has been our most successful fundraiser to date and I would recommend it to any school who was thinking of doing it. It was a no- brainer for us. Not only were we raising money for our school, we were getting our pupils involved and having fun whilst improving literacy levels. We set up a fundraising committee with staff, members of the Parent’s Association and our Board of Management. Working together, we contacted a number of businesses who were so supportive to our cause. Our pupils logged their reading minutes daily while raising sponsorship at the same time. Darach, from Read and Raise was with us every step of the way. Their platform is very easy to use and the support pack that is given when you sign up is excellent.

"This has been the most successful fundraiser we have every ran in our school. We raised 3 times more money than we had hoped to. Our children really bought into and enjoyed logging and tracking reading sessions they completed at home in the evening time, they came in every morning and had great fun with their friends seeing who had the most number of minutes logged. It really is a super platform we would certainly highly recommend it to all schools"

We are a 4 teacher school with 81 children on the roll, this fundraiser has exceeded our expectations! We raised far more than we thought we would. Outside of the funds raised we found there were many benefits to the fundraiser it improved literacy levels especially among the boys, the children bought into logging reading minutes at home and looking for donations from family and friends. The business sponsorship tool on the site proved to be a great success for us we contacted as many businesses as we could think of in advance to take out a digital ad on our fundraiser. The fact that it was'nt just your usual school fundraiser and a literacy based initiative in the school it was very well received by all the businesses. I have got nothing but positive experiences to report from it all. We got great support from Read and Raise from start to finish. The support pack on your admin dashboard was a huge help it contained everything we could possibly have needed from parent information letters, how to register letters for parents, business sponsor letter template etc really and truly its just a case of dating them and sending them out. The suggested text messages to send to parents during the fundraiser were a great help. During the initiative we visited our local day care centre and did a shared reading session with all the men and women that attend there which was a great success. Overall a very very positive experience we are delighted with what we have raised and grateful to Read and Raise for all the support. For myself as a teaching principal it was one of those fundraisers that you could literally sign up to and let it run itself. I have recommend it numerous school already and we will certainly will be making it part of our future fundraising plans.

We recently used the Read and raise platform for a fundraiser in our school Caherline National School. A very easy platform to use, very easy for pupils to log their reading sessions each day and also to ask their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents our whoever else for donations. Its a fantastic platform for a readathon I would definitely recommend it to any school and we will definitely used it again in the future.

We recently ran a fundraiser for an outdoor sensory walk way. We used the Read and Raise platform It was very easy on us as a school there was no tickets to sell or sponsorship lines or anything like that. It was all very easy we could see hoe many minutes were logged everyday. We were able to invite local businesses to sponsor it by taking out a digital ad and donate via the link and upload their company logo so when anyone logged in they could see all the businesses at the bottom of the page which was a nice feature. The children really got into it trying to log as many reading sessions as they could. As well as being a fundraiser it was great to see the literacy levels of the children improve in the school and developed their interest in reading. I would definitely recommend it to other schools its definitely something we will look into doing again.

We recently held a read and raise fundraiser to help upgrade our sensory room and we had a really positive experience. The children enjoyed logging their reading sessions inside and outside of school and it's easy to send donation links to family and friends through the website. Darach was very helpful along the way and any questions were quickly answered. We're delighted with the funds we raised and would use this platform again.

We recently completed our read and raise fundraiser. We are delighted with how it went and how much we raised. It was very easy to organise with very little work involved as everything we needed was supplied to use by Read and Raise, from fundraiser posters, information letters, how to register letters for parents, letter template for business sponsors and reading milestone graphics for social media posts. The platform itself is very user friendly. The ability for local businesses to take out an ad is a very good feature. Most of all the children really bought into it and enjoyed logging and tracking their reading minutes. We would certainly highly recommend it to any school.

We recently engaged with Read and Raise in our school. All parents were able to log in and set up their children with the clear step by step instructions given. It was very easy from a teachers point of view to log in and add individual and group reading times during the day. All the children really enjoyed it and were very excited to come in every day and tell me how much they had read the evening before. It was very beneficial in getting the children excited about reading and into the habit of reading for pleasure. I would definitely recommend Read and Raise, both as a fundraiser for the school and to encourage reading throughout the school.

I am delighted to share my appreciation for the Read and Raise website, a remarkable platform that seamlessly combines fund raising with literacy advocacy. Navigating the site was not only user-friendly but also effortlessly facilitated our donations. The innovative concept of tying charitable contributions to the encouragement of reading is truly commendable. Read and Raise has successfully transformed the act of giving into a meaningful journey, fostering both generosity and a love for learning. Kudos to the team for creating a wonderful platform that not only makes donations easy but also champions the cause of literacy. Thanks again for everything,

We recently completed a hugely successful fundraiser on the Read and Raise platform. It was very easy to use for both us as the organisers and also parents. The children really engaged with it and enjoyed logging their reading sessions both in school and at home and tracking their progress. We also got great support from the local business community who took out digital ads on our fundraisers which generated a lot of extra revenue for us. It will definitely become part of our school fundraising plans going forward.

"Our school participated in the ReadandRaise programme for the first time this year. It was amazing. Darach was so patient and was always available to help and support us as we got the programme up and running. We kept it small this year as it was our first year and there was no pressure on us. We always felt that we were supported and what we wanted to do was prioritised. It is an amazing idea and it genuinely gave the children a push to read in the dark and long days of January. We cannot recommend this enough and we will definitely participate again next year and go bigger now that we know what it is about. Thank you for Darach for everything. Le meas,

Its safe to say our reading fundraiser was a huge success! It was great to see children reading for pleasure and enjoyment. One of the main purposes of this readathon was for children to improve their fluency and literacy skills as well as to raise some much needed funds for our school. Darach and his team at Read and Raise were extremely helpful all we really had to do was keep sharing it on social media. The platform was extremely easy to navigate, parents logged their children's reading sessions at home and we also logged school wide sessions while the children were in class. We hope to make it an annual event in our school. View all of what Jean had to say at this link https://youtube.com/watch?v=7nOFR4DzJds&feature=share8

We recently ran a fundraiser on the read and raise platform. Not only did we raise the money we needed but the children really benefited from a reading literacy point of view. They enjoyed logging and tracking their reading minutes on their profiles. It was all very easy to use with very little work involved in running it. I would certainly recommend it to any school and we look forward to using it again in the future.

We recently ran a very successful fundraiser with Read and Raise in our school here in London. When I initially saw Read and Raise I was a bit sceptical as it sounded too good to be true, but as it turns out it was'nt! It is a fantastic platform that not only raises money but improves literacy at the same time. Everything you could ever need to make your fundraiser a success is provided to you by read and raise. We will certainly be making it an annual event in our school!

We found Read & Raise really put an emphasis on reading in our school. We had such fun sharing reading in school and at home during the event. The platform was very easy to use for both teachers and parents/ guardians and we received great support from Darach. We were delighted to raise such much needed funds and we intend to use Read and Raise as an annual event in our school.
