Cash for Kids Day

On Thursday 2nd May, Cash for Kids Day 2024 will be taking Northern Ireland by storm!

With all funds raised going towards holiday hunger, we will be able to support children and young people across Northern Ireland who might not have food on the table during the summer – but only with your support.

According to a report by the Trussell Trust Foodbanks in Northern Ireland, 48% of people referred have under 16s living in their household. 1 in 4 people referred to the foodbank in Northern Ireland come from a working household, which is higher than across the rest of the UK.

You can help support Cash for Kids day by hosting a fundraiser or making a corporate donation! With a wealth of ideas, the Cash for Kids team are more than happy to support your business and can’t wait to hear what you have planned.

Schools Challenge – Sponsorship Opportunity – Launches June 2024

Has your child’s school experienced funding cuts? Perhaps a family member is a teacher and has been struggling? Schools across Northern Ireland are struggling to provide the education, care and support their pupils so desperately need due to funding cuts and budget restraints.

Schools Challenge supports schools across Northern Ireland to fundraise over four weeks, with last year’s winners raising an incredible £40,000!

We’ve seen the money raised used for sensory rooms, outdoor learning, replacing worn out resources, basic essentials kits, school uniforms and more.

With four weeks to fundraise in the month of October, why not reach out to your local school about this amazing opportunity?

Your business could support the Cash for Kids Schools Challenge through a sponsorship, showcasing your support of the bright young minds in our schools today.
