HOW CAN I HELP?
The demand for our programmes is greater than ever, with more young people and individuals not in employment, education or training needing support to build confidence, skills, and brighter futures. Fundraising is a fantastic way to get involved and help us continue removing barriers and open doors for our communities.
Every event, challenge, or idea makes a difference. From bake sales, quiz nights, and raffles, to fun runs, sponsored walks, 24-hour bounce-a-thons, and skydives, every pound raised goes directly into providing free, accredited opportunities that inspire and empower people. By fundraising for NetWORK NotWORK CIC, you are helping children and adults not in employment, education or training to discover their potential, raise their aspirations, and connect with role models who can shape their future.
You don’t need to take on a huge challenge to have a big impact. Something as simple as hosting a coffee morning, running a car boot sale, or organising a dress-down day at work can raise valuable funds that change lives. Schools, workplaces, community groups, and individuals can all play a part.
We’ll be here to support you every step of the way with ideas, resources, and encouragement to make your fundraising a success. Together, we can ensure no young person is left behind.
Take a look at how you can help today and let’s make career dreams a reality.
