Some of our challenges are operated exclusively in aid of one particular charity, but where you see the words “in aid of any charity”, you can raise funds for any cause that you feel passionate about, as long as they are a UK or Irish registered charity, and they authorise you to fundraise in their name.
We will help to get the authorisation for you to fundraise, so choose from one of the many charities on our database, or if you don’t find them listed, you can give us some contact details when you book and we’ll get in touch with them about becoming a charity partner.
Please type in the name (or part of the name) of the charity below in the ‘search term’ field below. If the name is a direct match, it will appear at the top of the results list. i.e. if you type Cancer, Cancer UK will appear towards the top of the results, British Cancer UK will appear lower down, and The UK Foundation of Lung Cancer Charities will appear even further down. So please try the exact match for the first few words to make it easier to find your charity. If you type a search term that is not in the name of the charity, but is in the description about the charity, it will appear after all of the above named results.

STOKE CITY FOOTBALL CLUB'S Community Trust was founded in 1989 and became a registered charity in 2004. Formerly known as the Club's Football in the Community scheme or Community Programme, the Trust engages with people in many varied ways to stimulate an environment in which they can realise their potential and subsequently accomplish more in whatever walk of life they choose for personal and professional development. As well as providing sporting opportunities for young people to pursue and enjoy a more active lifestyle, programmes also stimulate a more positive outlook for others in need of encouragement and support, regardless of their economic status or physical ability. The Trust is devoted to the community it serves. Within the catchment areas of Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire Moorlands, Stafford, South Staffordshire and parts of North-West Shropshire, we contact and attempt to benefit the lives of approximately 150,000 children and young people each year. Self-funding and financially independent of Stoke City Football Club, the Trust is accountable to a Board of Trustees. These include Stoke-on-Trent South MP Robert Flello and Denis Smith, who made over 400 City appearances between 1966 and 1982. Since the Club won promotion to the Premier League in 2008, the Trust has developed remarkably, from a highly respected deliverer of football courses to a leading provider of sporting, education and social programmes.

StreetVet is an award winning national charity delivering free accessible veterinary care and support to the pets of those experiencing homelessness in multiple locations around the UK. StreetVet was founded to take veterinary care out onto the streets directly to the people and pets that need it most. What began in 2016 as two vets, and a backpack full of veterinary supplies, has grown into a robust volunteer-delivered organisation, with nearly 500 vet and vet nurse volunteers. The volunteers swap the practice for the pavement in 23 locations across the UK, from Glasgow to Cornwall, with more locations being added. StreetVet champions the importance of the human-animal bond and has treated more than 3,000 pets and conducted more than 11,700 consultations since its founding. Many people experiencing homelessness face the heartbreaking choice between securing shelter and a roof over their heads or keeping their best friend. A choice nobody should have to make. Recognising that less than 10% of UK hostels are pet-inclusive, StreetVet launched the StreetVet Accredited Hostel Scheme in 2020. This initiative aims to make it easier for hostels to welcome pets, ensuring owners and their beloved companions can stay together.

Streetwise Opera is an opera company that enables people who’ve experienced homelessness to find inspiration and empowerment while they rebuild their lives and identities. We support participants to develop as creative people and, as we amplify their voices, change how society views homelessness. We engage world-class artists, both established and emerging, to co-create bold new work and reimagine traditional repertoire. We create opera that is for everyone and, by bringing together diverse voices, change how society views opera. We run a programme of singing and creative workshops in London, Manchester and Nottingham, that inspires and empowers people who are recovering from homelessness. As they engage with our work, Streetwise Opera performers improve their wellbeing and rebuild their social networks, and we have a robust evaluation system that helps us demonstrate the difference we make. People who experience homelessness very often suffer from a diminished sense of self-worth and low expectations about what they can achieve and what they can expect from life. Streetwise Opera performers reinvent themselves as creators who make the world more beautiful and have the power to bring audiences to their feet. This gives them the confidence and inspiration to rebuild their lives. Our regular workshops provide a dependable source of fun and creativity for people who are often let down by society and services, while our productions offer a platform for people to share their skills and talents, redefining opera and who it is for.

Northern Sumatra’s rainforests are irreplaceable. They are some of the most important forests on the planet, home to rare Tapanuli & Sumatran orangutans and other precious species. Supporting thousands of forest-edge communities, these ecosystems are key in the global fight against climate change. Our mission is to protect orangutans, their forests and their future. We aim to do this via our three goals: PROTECT - We work to keep existing rainforests secure and stable, ensuring a home for Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutans to enable their existing communities to thrive. CONNECT - We work to create "corridors" between fragmented areas of rainforest so that groups of orangutans are not isolated from each other. REWILD - We work to help degraded rainforest landscapes to recover by healing the land and planting a diverse range of trees and other fauna, creating even more space for orangutans to thrive.

Support Adoption For Pets is an animal charity with a single, passionate aim. It exists to help give abandoned and homeless pets a second chance of happiness. Every year, thousands of pets end up homeless through no fault of their own. Thanks to the tireless work of animal rescue and re-homing centres across the UK, many of these animals are given a new life in the loving home they deserve. Most animal rescue charities are almost completely reliant on donations and public support to continue their vital work. It is our mission, with your generous help, to provide a financial lifeline and help secure the future of rehoming centres and vulnerable pets in need.
