Get involved
Give your time, raise money or bring your business behind young people and families who need support and opportunity.
Ways to help
There is more than one way to back the Foundation. Choose the one that suits you, or talk to us about an idea of your own.
-
Volunteer
Give some of your time. Tell us what you enjoy and how much time you have, and we'll find the right way for you to help.
-
Fundraise
Run, walk, bake or set your own challenge. Let us know before you start so we can support you and thank you properly.
-
Donate
Every gift helps us back children, families and young people. Get in touch and we'll tell you the easiest way to give.
-
Businesses and clubs
Bring your workplace, team or club behind the Foundation through fundraising, sponsorship or sharing your skills.
Volunteer
There is no minimum, and nothing is agreed until you are happy with it. Some people give a morning once a year at an event. Some give an hour a week. Some give a skill they already have and would not think to offer.
You do not need experience of charity work. Tell us what you enjoy, what you would rather not do and how much time you have, and we will find something that fits.
Fundraise
Runs, walks, bakes, quizzes, raffles. Most of it comes from people doing something they were half thinking of doing anyway and deciding to make it count.
Tell us before you start, so we can back you, share it and thank you by name. Keep what you collect safe and pay it in as soon as you can. If you are under 18, plan it with a parent or carer, and if there is any risk in it, check the permission and the insurance.
Not sure what to do? Ask. We have ideas.
Businesses and clubs
The Foundation was set up by a Corby business, so we know what a workplace can do when it gets behind something. Teams and clubs can do the same.
It does not have to be money. Fundraise together, sponsor a piece of our work, pick us as a charity of the year, or lend us skills, time, kit or space. Tell us what you had in mind and we will be honest about whether we can use it.
Why your help matters
The Foundation exists to back young people and their families practically, consistently and for the long term. That kind of support only works when there are people behind it.
Every hour given and every pound raised helps us be there for the next family that needs us, and the one after that.
