Sporting Connexions have joined The Island as a Corporate Champion

Sporting Connexions have pledged to help double all donations through our Big Give Christmas Challenge, running 2nd-9th December until we reach our £15,000 goal!

Sporting Connexions are dedicated to making a real difference in our community through the power of shared experiences and collective generosity. Their mission is to support and uplift a wide range of charities and beneficiaries by organising events and lunches that bring people together for a common cause.

We are delighted to announce Sporting Connexions are one of our first Corporate Champions, providing much-needed funding to help us reach even more young people in need.

With the help of Sporting Connexions and the York community, our aim is to raise £15,000 in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, which will provide 10 new mentoring places in January - 10 life changing opportunities for young people and their families.

"To be a beneficiary is a real honour for us and we know that this money will be used to make a difference to young peoples lives across the city of York." Elly Fiorentini, The Island Trustee
