Charity Champions
We Were All Young Once is a three month campaign led by young people that aims to raise £1 million. As a Charity Champion you will compete in a team of 15 young people against 19 other teams to create fun and exciting fundraising activities, and hopefully be the first team to reach your goal of £50,000. Fundraising activities may include sponsored runs, organising non-uniform days in schools and collections in shopping centres, we also want your input as we’re sure you’ll be much more creative than us!
Cool, what will the money go towards?
The money raised will help us to maintain our life transforming programmes like our Summer Programme that gives thousands of young people the chance to try something new and learn a new skill during their summer holidays; our Volunteering opportunities where young people can gain a nationally recognised accreditation whilst giving back to their community; and our Job Ready employability programme where 59% of students who were unemployed go on to employment or further training within six months of completing it! We want to keep on giving amazing opportunities to young people and carry on changing lives!
What dates will I have to commit to?
This is an exciting three month project that kicked off in October 2011. Charity Champions will be expected to liaise with their Team Leaders to organise fundraising events on a weekly basis.
