Helping Herts

Helping Herts have been a charity partner of ours since 2022. They are a charity themselves and operate to support children across the county of Hertfordshire through collaboration. Helping Herts brings together 12 chosen charities which provide services for children to combine resources and effort to make impact and change for young people locally.

Part of the way that Helping Herts helps our charity is by putting on fantastic events for our supporters to get involved in. By taking part in any of these events you will be directly supporting children’s mental health across Hertfordshire and everything you raise will be funded by Helping Herts.

Please see below the Helping Herts Events and challenges for 2026. All events will kindly be match funded by Helping Herts. Please register your interest for any event or and we will be in touch with further information.
