Talk to us

Whether you’re looking to go it alone, or as part of a team, we have exciting challenges, fundraising ideas and events to get involved in that support The Forward Trust’s life-changing work and provide an opportunity to connect and learn.

Why Take Part?

Every event helps fund life-changing support for people overcoming addiction, unemployment, and life during - and after - serving a prison sentence. By joining an event to raise funds for The Forward Trust, you’re helping people to rebuild their lives, secure stable housing, find employment, and reconnect with their communities.

Can’t find an event that you fancy? Why not give your own a go! Take a look at our ideas here for some inspiration.
