Fundraise for us

 We're delighted that you're considering fundraising for us!

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a novice with a passion for young people, we are incredibly grateful that you are considering fundraising for us. Have a look below for all the info you'll need when fundraising for Spark2Life:

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.
