I choose Wigan Youth Zone

Are you looking for a

Charity for your business to support

over your next financial year?

Nominating Wigan Youth Zone as your charity of the year is a great way for your team to help raise funds to support Wigan and Leigh’s young people to fulfill their potential, raise their aspirations and prepare for adulthood.

Wigan Youth Zone is a purpose built, state-of the-art youth facility in Wigan Town Centre which opened in 2013.

It offers young people from across Wigan the opportunity to meet new friends, have new experiences, learn new skills and access the support they need to develop and achieve their potential.

Our vision is to inspire and empower young people in Wigan and Leigh to fulfil their potential.

A recent independent evaluation reported that every £1.00 invested into Wigan Youth Zone returns a social value of £2.19.

We recognise that every business is different and therefore we will work with you to find a package of support that best works for your company and team members, but examples of support include:

  • Making a cash donation from company profit
  • Giving customers the opportunity to donate with every sale
  • Raising money through events and sponsorship opportunities
  • Provision of goods and/or services FOC

You can aim to raise as much as you think is possible for your business, no amount is too big or small. With your investment, we will be able to make a big difference to the lives of thousands of young people such as:

By raising

£500

You could provide a hot meal each day for up to 20 young people for a whole month.
By raising

£1,000

You could pay for 200 memberships for young people from disadvantaged families to access the Youth Zone’s fantastic facilities.

By raising

£5,000

You could help to fund new, much needed, sports, arts and crafts, or music equipment which we use every day of the week – helping our young people learn new skills and reach their goals.
By raising

£10,000

You could help to fund young people to access our ‘Get a Job’ programme – an eight-week course that offers employability skills to support young people into work, apprenticeships, training or further education. Getting a young person onto the employment ladder, could change their lives.
By raising

£20,000

You could help us to fund some of the more costly, but hugely worthwhile, services we offer young people such as our counselling services or inclusion offer, which is needed now more than ever.

In addition to the significant impact you will provide for our charity, raising funds for us will engage, motivate and drive your staff, in addition to clearly demonstrating the reinvestment your business is making to the local community. It also diversifies your workforce and makes your business accessible to future employees, customers, supplies and our young people.

In return, we will give your business shout outs on our social media, share your good news stories on our highly followed Facebook and Linkedin pages, publicise your support on our website and provide your business with a special logo for you to use on your own correspondence for the year.

We hope that you decide to select us as your chosen charity and look forward to discussing how we can make the experience the most valuable for your business.
