IDPE 2023 Celebration of Giving
IDPE's Celebration of Giving is an opportunity for all schools (both independent and state) to come together and celebrate the generosity of their communities and the impact of schools' fundraising and engagement on the lives of young people.
From Monday 13 - Friday 17 November 2023, we will be sharing success stories, case studies and resources that celebrate and demonstrate best practice with a daily programme of professional development events and activities open to IDPE members and non-members.
Share your stories
During the Celebration of Giving, we want schools to share their success stories and case studies on social media to celebrate the important work that is being done in development offices across the country. Get inspired by taking a look at some of last year's examples below and by using our social media toolkit, and get ready to share your stories using #IDPEGivingWeek!
