This year, we are proud to support Minstead Trust as our Charity of the Year — a fantastic UK charity that unlocks opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autism. Minstead Trust works tirelessly to help individuals develop independence, build confidence, and thrive in their communities through personalised support, life skills training, work experience and more.
We have pledged to raise £10,000 for Minstead Trust over the coming year. Every pound raised will help break down barriers and enable more people to access the support they need to live fulfilling lives of their choosing.
We’ll be fundraising for Minstead Trust throughout the year with a mix of relaxed, community-led events across all our sites and we’d love you to get involved.
We’ll be running regular raffles in all our venues, giving you the chance to win some great prizes while supporting a really important cause.
Our quiz nights and open mic evenings are a big part of our fundraising. They’re all about bringing people together, having a good time and raising money at the same time.
If you’d rather donate directly, you can do so via their website, with all donations going straight to Minstead Trust.
We’re often contacted by wonderful charities requesting raffle prizes and donations. While we’d love to support every cause, it isn’t always possible. To ensure a fair and consistent approach, in 2026 we introduced a monthly charity raffle across all our locations. Each month, one charity that has reached out to a site is randomly selected to receive a voucher.
We’re proud to have supported organisations such as Blind Veterans UK, Steve Willis Training, Darcys Dream for Naomi House and Cancer Research UK.
By coming together as a community to support Minstead Trust, we can help create more opportunities for independence, skill-building and meaningful participation for people with learning disabilities. Thank you for joining us on this journey and for every contribution you make — big or small!
