We're fundraising for...
Quintessentially Foundation is a charitable foundation set up to tackle child poverty and the limitations it places on the futures of children and young people. They do this by finding, funding and supporting small frontline charities well-positioned to make a big difference. Small frontline charities have some of the best solutions to society's biggest problems. However, they are often overlooked and underfunded. So, through Quintessentially Foundation’s flagship programme, ‘The Firefly Project', they scale their charity partners’ successful interventions for young people, tackling child poverty in all forms, by providing the charities with:
- Unrestricted funding - so that our partner charities can invest in increasing their internal capacity and prepare for growth.
- Tailored organisational support – ensuring they develop the proper infrastructure for their model to increase the number of young people they support and optimise the quality of their impact.
- Untapped networks and connections – so that they can have more supporters amplifying their cause and, most notably so that they can continue to grow sustainably once our funding ends
To find out more information about The Firefly Project, please visit the Quintessentially Foundation website here.
Thank you to our Sponsors

Huge congratulations on taking on such an incredible challenge! Cycling 500km across Scotland with all that elevation is no small feat, and it’s amazing that you’re doing it for such a meaningful cause. The work Quintessentially Foundation does through ‘The Firefly Project’ sounds truly impactful, and I’m sure your efforts will make a real difference. Wishing you the best of luck with the ride and the fundraising – you’ve got this!
