“We’ll give your team £50 and you have 12 weeks to turn that money into as much money as you can for your chosen charity.”
The challenge
Local charities are working harder than ever to meet need, and many businesses want a clear, practical way to support their communities while strengthening team culture and purpose. Action4Youth supports children and young people to be heard, be safe and succeed, but we can only reach more young people with committed partners behind us.
What Franklins created
Franklins built a model that removes barriers to participation and unlocks creativity:
1
A simple fundraising mechanism
Teams form, choose a charity partner, receive £50 seed funding, then turn it into as much as possible over the challenge period.
2
Open to everyone
From sole traders to larger organisations , and across sectors, the Challenge encourages broad community involvement.
3
Support along the way
Teams receive guidance and resources, with Franklins and the chosen charity on hand to help with ideas and promotion, and a celebration event at the end of the campaign.
Join the £50 Challenge
Get your team signed up, receive £50 seed funding, and turn it into real support for young people in just 12 weeks.
Proof of impact
In the previous year of the Challenge, 57 businesses raised nearly £60,000 for 12 local charities, showing what can happen when local organisations come together around a shared, time-bound goal.
