Match Tactics

No. 1: Tell everyone
Spread the word about Sport Relief in your school including when your event is happening using the posters in this kit. Most schools will take part on Friday 14th March.

No. 2: Pull your Socks up
Time to change your Socks? Use the Sock Deposit Scheme to order Socks for your school (they might be a bit baggy for the under-5s!) and help change a life too. Each pair costs £2 with at least £1 going to Comic Relief. Simply pay a small deposit and send us the rest of the money later. That way your students will look the part when they take on their challenge in school.
