Hallam FM Cash for Kids Sports Challenge ECO SOFAS

It’s been an incredible summer of sport with the Women’s World Cup, the Ashes, Wimbledon and the Netball World Cup just a few of the tournaments that have been keeping us all entertained over the last few months. Hoping to inspire the next generation to sporting success Cash for Kids Sports Challenge is back for 2023. This unique fundraising competition aims to improve access and provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people struggling to access sporting groups. Entries are open now until midnight on Monday 11th September and you

can enter at hallamfm.co.uk/ sports Cash for Kids Sports Challenge asks local grassroots sporting groups to fundraise as much as possible during a set time - this year it runs from 16th September to 16th October. Not only do the groups get access to the charity’s brilliant network of fundraisers for tips and help they all keep 100% of the cash they raised AND have the opportunity to win additional funding from Cash for Kids! The three top fundraising groups each receive an extra £5,000, £2,500 or £1,500 to add to their total. There are also two special awards – both worth £500 each – for the best use

of social media and the most creative fundraising idea. Funds raised will be used for a variety of reasons including subsidised membership fees for families who can’t afford to send their children to clubs or helping with clothing or kit for those struggling in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis. Money will also be used to improve facilities or make adaptations where necessary so that children and young people with additional needs can take part in their chosen sport. Last year saw City of Sheffield Diving Club raise an incredible £31,909.61 that they used to extend their Community Try Diving Scheme. This helped to

provide weekly free try diving lessons across the city for 12 months, enabling more children to try our sport no matter what their personal circumstances are. They have created a hardship fund to support aspiring young athletes from struggling families to continue to train and compete, supporting young divers to achieve their potential. As the winners of the challenge, they were then awarded the first prize fund of £5,000 plus an additional £500 for winning the best use of social media award – granting them a total of £37,409.61. Encouraging other local sports groups to take part this year, Nikki

Smith from City of Sheffield Diving Club said ‘Winning the Sports Challenge has been significant in helping our club to not only survive but thrive. Funds raised have made diving more accessible to our local community through much needed facility improvements and providing sustained opportunities to participate. Taking part in the challenge engaged and united our members and we thoroughly recommend taking parting part in Sports Challenge to local clubs and teams’.
