Hi [Name],

I’m writing to ask whether you’d be able to share this with parents at [nursery/school name]? It’s something I’ve signed up to and think a lot of other parents at [nursery/school] would get behind.

The Kids Party Pact is a parent-led campaign to make gifting at kids parties more affordable and sustainable. They’ve recently been granted funding from the National Lottery Community Fund – and have been featured on BBC Newsround, in The Times and Positive News.

The aim is to get parents talking – and agreeing to make gifts and party bags more affordable and less wasteful. The idea is to remove the pressure of buying expensive gifts, normalise pre-loved gifting and teaching children that fun doesn’t come from stuff.

At its heart, The Kids Party Pact is about making birthdays easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

It offers parents a supportive framework for setting clear expectations around gifts and celebrations, while ensuring children still feel special and included.

I’ve attached a flyer you can share if that helps. [download this at below!]

Thanks so much

Subject: Request to Share Kids’ Party Pact in the School Newsletter

Dear [Headteacher’s Name / School Office],

I’m writing to ask if it might be possible to include a short piece in the school newsletter about the Kids’ Party Pact, a national initiative (recently awarded National Lottery funding, and featured on BBC Newsround and The Times) that I’m helping to promote locally.

The Pact encourages families to take the pressure off children’s parties by:

Keeping them affordable – no expectation of expensive gifts
Making them planet-friendly – second-hand, handmade or experience-based gifts encouraged
Focusing on joy – simple, inclusive celebrations without unnecessary stress or waste

At its heart, the Kids’ Party Pact is about making birthdays easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

It offers parents a supportive framework for setting clear expectations around gifts and celebrations, while ensuring children still feel special and included.

Thank you so much for considering this. I’ve attached a flyer that could go into the newsletter.

Warm regards,

[Your Full Name]

Template – parent WhatsApp group or online community

Whether it’s your child’s class WhatsApp group, or another parent group/community – here are some suggestions of how you could approach messaging them about The Kids Party Pact.

Full disclosure – it can feel daunting to message these groups. Here’s the thing…you’ll probably get some positive reactions ❤️👍 – but most people will hold off from commenting until they see what others say.

Pro tip – prime a friend in the group to respond positively after you post. That way others will have the psychological safety to join in…we have found that the vast majority of parents are relieved and in agreement with this approach. AND – if they’re not they may well find that they are the odd ones out.

The aim is to normalise more affordable, less wasteful gifting and party bags. No pressure of course, but I wanted to share in case it’s of interest to anyone 🙂

Hello everyone, I thought I’d share something I’ve been following and signed up to it’s called the Kids Party Pact. The idea is just to agree on more planet and pocket friendly gifts for parties so no one feels pressure and the kids don’t end up with mountains of stuff. Absolutely no pressure, but I’m curious to know what others think?

Hi! Random thought… does anyone else feel slightly overwhelmed by the whole kids’ party gift thing? 🙈 I heard about the Kids Party Pact, where parents agree to keep presents simple. I thought it sounded like a bit of a lifesaver – would anyone be up for trying it?
