Be the spark at your school
Help create collective action where it matters most: your community.
This movement is powered by everyday parents. Mums, dads and carers who’ve looked around and thought, hang on – is this really the childhood we want for our kids?
Across the country, people like you are stepping up – starting conversations, running events, and sharing the Parent Pact. And together, they’re changing the culture around kids and smartphones.
If you care about protecting childhood, becoming an SFC School Organiser or Active Supporter is one of the most powerful things you can do to create change where you are.
Become a SFC School Organiser
School Organisers get the conversation moving with other parents in their school communities.
They’re parents who care – and who bring others together to build SFC momentum.
You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need loads of time. And you’re not doing it alone.
With a few simple tools and a little support from us, you can help shift the culture at your school, grow your school's Parent Pact numbers – and be part of something bigger happening across the country.
Because this movement grows one chat at a time. And it starts with people like you.

What our community say
If you’ve ever felt the urge to do more, to contribute to something greater, to be part of the conversation and to help shape the future for our children and society, this is it!
It's a privilege to be part of this cultural shift and hugely rewarding to witness the sea change that is beginning to take place as a result of collective action.
I love being part of this incredible movement, helping mobilise others to spread the word that as parents we can delay smartphones and social media for our children by coming together.
Being part of SFC helps formulate parental worries into action and makes what seemed impossible, possible.
Being a regional leader means I’m part of a community. We get to lead the way in making history… future generations will thank us for speaking up.
Becoming a part of my regional SFC group has been an inspiring, thought provoking and exciting journey. In just one year, momentum is clearly gathering.
Become a SFC Active Supporter
Not ready to organise just yet? You can still make a real difference in your community.
SFC Active Supporters are the parents who help build momentum in simple but meaningful ways – by starting conversations, sharing resources, and supporting Organisers.
Maybe you chat to other parents at the school gate. Maybe you help run a stall at the fair, post in your class WhatsApp, or pass on the Parent Pact to someone who’s unsure. Every little action helps shift the culture.
This movement is built from thousands of small moments of courage and connection. And yours matters more than you know.

Change starts with all of us
You don’t need to be an expert to get involved in SFC in your community. We’re just looking for people willing to stand with us and say: this matters.
There are over 20,000 primary schools in the UK. If every one had just one parent willing to start the conversation, we’d change everything.
This is how big change starts: locally, organically, together.
Want to go even further?
If you don’t have children in primary school – or you’re interested in building support across your region – get in touch about joining our network of regional organisers.
