Individuals

Every year, people across the UK have a great time - and raise vital money - by fundraising for Kids First.

Our massive list of activities includes something to suit everyone - from physical challenges like skydiving and fun runs to band nights, quizzes and dress down days. Whatever inspires you, it's good to know you can make a direct difference to other people's lives simply by having fun with your friends, family or colleagues.

Give As You Earn

Give As You Earn (also known as Payroll Giving) is a simple, efficient and flexible scheme which allows you to donate to any UK registered charity of your choice directly from your salary. It is the single most useful and tax effective way for anyone to give money to charity.

Setting up a payroll giving scheme is simple and easy for your employer - in fact most employers already have a scheme in place.

You can give as little as £3 a month, which can translate to £5 for charity. The donation can be started, stopped or changed at any time.

To set up payroll giving for Kids First please contact us.

Recycling mobile phones for Kids First is an easy and environmentally friendly way of supporting us. On average for every ten mobile phones recycled we can channel funds into the Play Award category of our Playground Partnerships progamme.
