Run it. Bake it. Climb it. Stream it. Whatever drives you – make it count and turn it into change for care-experienced young people.
Decide to do something
your way
Drive Champions are people who decide to do something — their way.
Whether it’s a marathon, a bake sale, or a birthday fundraiser, every action fuels personalised coaching, counselling, and real job opportunities for care-experienced young people.
We don’t set the rules – you set the pace.
We’re just here to cheer you on, support your ideas, and show the real difference your efforts make.
How it works
- Pick your challenge – Do something you love, or something wild you’ve always wanted to try.
- Set up your page – Start your fundraiser on Enthuse, JustGiving, or GiveAsYouLive Donate – great if you wish to support multiple causes!
- Spread the word – Share your story, tell people why you care, and inspire others to give.
- Celebrate your impact – Every penny raised helps a young person move closer to sustainable employment.
Every £2,000 raised funds a young person’s full Care to Career pathway — from breaking down barriers to stepping into a job they love.
