In a nutshell…
Each year, Green Light Trust supports hundreds of people facing challenges.
Our unique work, rooted in nature, is proven to transform lives.
Through outdoor activities, skills-building, and supportive environments, we give children, young people, and adults the opportunity to overcome barriers and embrace brighter futures.
now we need your help
Pressures on social care, the NHS, and other essential services are at their highest.
This is making funding for organisations like ours increasingly difficult to secure.
This year, we need to raise £100k, which will allow us to provide life-changing opportunities for individuals in need.
Join us on our fundraising journey, whether it’s supporting our fundraising activities, donating time or money- every contribution takes us one step closer to supporting those who need us most.
This is an exciting fundraising opportunity for you to get involved with. Whether you do it on your own, with friends, family, colleagues or community groups, it’s a brilliant way to get creative and help give back to people who need it.
There are so many fundraising ideas to choose from, take a look at our fundraising guide for how to get started.
Get moving
Hike, bike and walk your way to fundraising success. Get fit and have fun in the process.
Get baking
Put on a bake sale and encourage others to take part. It’s the most delicious way to raise funds!
Get performing
Put on a comedy night, a gig – anything that entertains people. Raise funds while dancing or laughing the night away.
Get crafty
Knit, sew and craft your way towards your fundraising goal. Whatever your hobby is, sell your goods to help raise funds.
Get celebrating
Whether you’re celebrating your wedding, birthday or remembering the life of a loved one, donations linked to special occasions are a great way to raise funds.
Get organising
If you need to clear your house of things you no longer need, a garage sale or car boot is a wonderful way to raise funds and declutter your home.
Get weird
Think outside of the box and do something totally unexpected to raise money. Baked bean baths, bad karaoke nights and reverse spelling bees welcome.
Get reading
Raise funds while doing something you love already. Get sponsored to read a certain number of books in a set time.
Get cooking
Host friends, family and colleagues for a themed dinner night to help raise funds, all while enjoying lovingly prepared delicious food.
