Fundraise
We aim to raise over £600,000 a year to enable us to continue meeting the demand for our programmes.
Fundraise For Us
Fundraising for YLF is a fun and gratifying way of supporting our work. We need your support to help us change lives.
Our dedicated team will help you every step of the way in preparing, promoting and celebrating your fundraising achievements. Get in touch, we cannot wait to hear from you! fundraising@ylf.org.uk
Do your own thing
There is no one-size-fits-all so raise money by doing the things you love or set yourself a challenge!
At clubs & groups
From sports tournaments to cake sales, bring your community or club members together for a local cause.
In school
Provide the opportunity for your pupils to learn about charitable giving through fun activities like talent shows and non-uniform days!
At work
Share the importance of YLF’s cause with your work colleagues and bring them on board to support your individual challenge or create a team fundraiser with them!
In celebration
Asking for donations instead of gifts on birthdays, weddings or anniversaries is an inspiring way to mark your special occasion and raise funds for our work.
Organised events
Have you got a place in a marathon, bike ride or organised event like Tough Mudder? You can appoint YLF as your chosen charity!
YLF events
We host various fundraising events throughout the year around Kent. We would love to welcome you! Check out our events here!
In memory
Fundraising in memory is a special way to honour someone close to you. Families may wish to hold a collection at a funeral or receive donations in lieu of flowers.

Fundraising Regulator
We are registered with The Fundraising Regulator and agree to abide by charity and fundraising laws and comply with fundraising standards.
This means we are open, honest and use your fundraised money exactly how we say we will. We even give you the choice of selecting a particular project you would like your money put towards if you want to.
Gift Aid
Gift aiding your donation means it will be worth 25% more to us at no additional cost to you. Gift Aid is a scheme operated by HM Revenue and Customs allowing charities to claim the basic rate tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer.
Gift Aid is automatically claimed through our online donation form and through any individual YLF fundraising pages.
Our Fundraising Promise
We value the support and commitment our fundraisers give and in return we want to show our appreciation to you. We promise:
- To be clear, honest and open about what we do and how fundraised money is spent
- To get your consent when obtaining personal data or photos, protect these and not pass them on
- To be respectful, adapt our approach depending on your needs and never pressurise you
- To provide you with a named staff member to support you throughout your fundraising journey
- To comply with the law as it applies to charities and fundraising
