Charities are facing extremely tough times so it is so important to do what we can to support. We have recently partnered with the exciting Pledjar who have teamed up with the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) to support UK charities, including us!

With the Pledjar app, you can now support your favourite charity (we have a good idea about who that should be…) through small acts of kindness by donating pennies from your daily purchases – all through this safe and secure mobile app. With the last bits of Christmas shopping to do, what a perfect way to utilise your spare change and know that you are positively impacting the next generation at the same time.

If you start looking after your pennies, the pounds will look after themselves…and this all adds up!

Get signed up to Pledjar today, via the simple step by step guide below and start supporting us so we can support more children with inspirational Mintridge Mentoring up and down the country.

During this strange unpredictable time, when we can’t fundraise in person, we
have partnered up with Pledjar to receive small but consistent donations which do add up. All you have to do is download the app, enter your details, back details (which is 100% secured) and set your manual or automatic donation limit.
Any funds we raise will make a big difference to us, so we’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to sign up and support us if you are able.

The Mintridge Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport. We provide a support network for young people by harnessing the power of positive sporting role models. The Mintridge Foundation assists young people of all ages, abilities and physical capabilities to develop confidence and resilience, and creates awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing through sport.

Our team of Ambassadors  - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK. Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisation’s requirements, our ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology such as Fitswarm and Playwaze to build a lasting legacy for individuals.

The Mintridge Foundation’s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a mentee’s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, we also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.
