Why fundraise?
Every young person deserves the chance to write a different story, one filled with hope, confidence and purpose. But too many young people grow up surrounded by violence, exclusion, or environments that limit their choices.
Make a difference
When you fundraise for Spark2Life, you’re not just supporting a cause; you’re investing in transformation.
You’re helping us:
- Provide mentoring and guidance to young people at risk of offending or exploitation
-
Deliver early intervention programmes that prevent harm before it happens
-
Equip communities with the tools to promote life and resilience
-
Empower lived-experience mentors, who’ve turned their own challenges into hope for others
We can double your funds!
We have registered with GiveMatch, a match funding platform that can double your donations.
When someone donates to your fundraiser they receove a link, if they share this link and two of their friends donate, their original donation is doubled by GiveMatch.
You're part of something bigger
Fundraising with Spark2Life means joining a community of people who believe in real, lasting change. You’ll be running, walking, cycling or fundraising alongside others who share your passion for giving young people a chance to thrive.
Together, we can build communities where young people aren’t defined by their pasts and are fiven real opportunities.
