Cash for Kids supports young people around the UK who are affected by poverty, neglect, illnesses and more. The charity runs multiple fundraising initiatives throughout the year to raise awareness and money for young people.

In June 2024, we took on the Walk the Big One challenge at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. During this epic challenge, we reached a whopping 235ft! Thank you so much for all of your donations – we managed to raise an incredible £565 for Cash For Kids Lancashire.
