School Support GroupsWould you like to inspire your classmates to have fun and help raise money to support deprived children and young people in Africa? Why not start a School Support Group? What do Groups do?School Support Group activities vary according to your interests and the amount of time you have. Most Groups help SUFA take actions against poverty and suffering in Africa through fundraising and campaigning. Fundraising could involve organising sponsored walks and football matches, or selling tickets for a themed party or 'Battle of the Bands'. Some Groups also take part in campaigning actions, such as petitioning their MP to do more to end poverty in Africa. Register your Group todayWhat are you waiting for?
