I'll be cycling across the Scottish Highlands in aid of the Firefly Project (500km, 4000m of elevation). I’m doing the ride in memory of my son Tommy who always encouraged me to get out on my bike especially if I was feeling sad or grumpy!
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.
