Radio City announces the latest Cash for Kids Sports Challenge
1 year ago
Applications are open for the charity fundraising challenge supporting grassroots sports across Liverpool, the North West and North Wales
Hoping to inspire the next generation to sporting success – the Cash for Kids Sports Challenge is back for 2023.
This unique fundraising competition aims to improve access and provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people struggling to access sporting groups.
Cash for Kids Sports Challenge asks local grassroots sporting groups to fundraise as much as possible during a set time – this year it runs from 16 September to 16 October.
Not only do the groups get access to the charity’s brilliant network of fundraisers for tips and help they all keep 100% of the cash they raised and have the opportunity to win additional funding from Cash for Kids!Â
The three top fundraising groups each receive an extra £5,000, £2,500 or £1,500 to add to their total. There are also two special awards – both worth £500 each – for the best use of social media and the most creative fundraising idea.
Funds raised will be used for a variety of reasons including subsidised membership fees for families who can’t afford to send their children to clubs or helping with clothing or kit for those struggling in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis.
Money will also be used to improve facilities or make adaptations where necessary so that children and young people with additional needs can take part in their chosen sport. Â
Last year saw Mary Halford School of Dancing raise an incredible ÂŁ28,160.00 that they used/will be using to support their dance school based in Walton, Liverpool.
Entries are open now until midnight on Monday 11 September and you can enter on the website.
