We work with a range of Charitable Trusts, Foundations and Grant-Making bodies to raise funds towards our on-going and brand new projects each year. This allows us to develop our services and cater for future needs.

Over the years, various Trusts have helped us provide a number of successful projects. Donations made through grant-making Trusts are incredibly important to our larger projects, which require greater sums to complete. Successful fundraising appeals helped by Trust donations include our Big Play Appeal to refurbish and build a Play and Youthcentre in Farnham, this £3m project was completed in 2008 and now delivers 40% of our annual child spaces.

Grants from Trusts and foundations can range from £100 to £100,000 or more. Trusts may decide to fund a whole project for us, or they may pay for a specific piece of equipment, member of staff or piece of work. In all cases, the gift is of huge benefit to all disabled children, young people and their families who rely on Challengers every day. We have opportunities for funders of all sizes and would be pleased to discuss our ongoing work and current priorities with you. We are always happy to meet with trust representatives and show them our facilities, and to offer recognition for any gifts given.
