It’s Golden Giveaway time again…
Our Golden Giveaway is back for 2026– with a massive £25,000 waiting to be divided between 20 worthy Tees Valley charities, not-for-profit organisations, schools, sports and community groups
Are you needing funds for a new project, to help you continue a project or for something else? Why not apply for your chance of winning a share of £25,000?
A panel of our patrons will select 20 worthy groups from across the region, who will each receive at least £500. However, there’s the potential for you to win up to £5,000! The final 20 groups will be given the chance to secure the most votes within 14 days, only one vote per person – checks are in place to ensure no duplication of votes. Once the 14 days are over, the results will be compiled and then the cheques will be presented on our Golden Giveaway event.
Previous winners have used the funding in many ways including: subsidising event costs, improve community gardens, purchase eco shop staples, cover the sports hall hire costs, help run youth clubs, purchase equipment, provide day trips for young carers, run first aid classes – the list is endless! Please note, we do not cover salaries or third-party facilitator fees.
