Become a KEEN Champion

Fundraise with us!

KEEN Champion aim to fundraise £1000 in whatever way they wish for our annual Champion Fund, as a part of a team or individually. This fund makes such a huge and direct impact on children and adults we work with.

As a KEEN Champion you get the power to decide which KEEN project the money you raise go towards- so you get to choose when and where this money will be used to help people!

We need your help, whether as a Champion or inspiring someone else to be one!

Who can become an Champion?

We are looking for anyone with enthusiasm for the challenge!

You don’t have to have worked for/with KEEN or have been one of our beneficiaries to be a KEEN Champion - but if you are and want to you are equally encouraged to.

Basically, anyone within or outside of KEEN who can see the positive impact of our work and wants to help support this work is our ideal KEEN Champion.

How can I fundraise?

However you like!

This can be a traditional method like getting sponsorships for a personal/team challenge (like a marathon), or organising a fundraising event (like a bake sale), but needn’t fit this mould at all.

We encourage you to really take ownership of your fundraising project and we look forward to supporting all of your amazing projects.

Need help coming up with ideas? Ask for our A to Z of fundraising ideas for inspiration!

If you're still stuck, why not take advantage of our KEEN Champion’s Community Community Chat (details below) or get in touch with a member of our staff team who can help give you some pointers.

How will we support you?

We have a brilliant KEEN Champion’s Community Chat where past and present KEEN Champions share ideas, tips and useful resources, and share regular updates about their own projects. You’ll be given a link to this chat once you’ve signed up to be a KEEN Champion.

Our Impact and Development Officer will also be in this chat to monitor your projects, see how we can support you and your project further (for example, publicising your work and stories), and popping invites to some of our special events along the way!

We also have digital certificates you’ll receive along your journey to celebrate your achievements and milestones from your 1st £10 raised, to meeting the £1000 goal set for all ambassadors, to going beyond this base goal!

All KEEN Champion will also be given a KEEN Champion Goodie Bag containing a KEEN Champion T-Shirt, a bookmark, some stickers, and a guide to fundraising!
