Celebrating the Success of the 2024 Focus Kids Summer Challenge

Updated: Sep 16

This year’s Focus Kids Summer Challenge has been nothing short of heartwarming. With incredible enthusiasm, creativity, and effort from young participants across the UK, we’re proud to announce that the challenge resulted in an impressive £2,513, all of which will go directly to supporting children’s charities across the country. These funds will help underprivileged children receive the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.


The challenge brought together children from all walks of life, united by a common goal—to make a difference for others. From exciting fundraising activities like sponsored footgolf, to fun and inventive initiatives like bake sales, jumpathons, and more, our young Charity Champions gave it their all. It’s been inspiring to see so many children channel their energy and creativity into something so impactful.


Why teaching children about charity matters


At Focus Foundation, we believe that teaching children the importance of charity and helping others is key to building a more compassionate future. Involving young people in initiatives like the Focus Kids Summer Challenge helps them develop a sense of empathy and responsibility. It’s about showing them how even small actions can have a lasting impact on the lives of others. By learning these values early on, children can grow understanding the power of kindness, generosity, and community. This year’s challenge has demonstrated the incredible potential young people have to change the world around them, and it’s a reminder that our future is in good hands.


Celebrating our Junior Ambassadors


We’re especially excited to recognize the outstanding efforts of this year’s newly appointed Focus Foundation Junior Ambassadors. These children went above and beyond in their fundraising efforts, showing exceptional dedication and creativity throughout the challenge. [The names of this year’s ambassadors will be announced soon.] These ambassadors are shining examples of the kind of impact young people can have when they come together for a good cause.


Looking ahead to 2025


With the success of this year’s Focus Kids Summer Challenge, we’re already planning for next year’s event! The 2025 Focus Kids Summer Challenge promises to be even bigger and better, and we hope to see even more young charity champions joining us. Stay tuned for more details as we look forward to continuing this incredible journey of supporting children’s charities and making a difference across the UK.


A huge thank you goes out to all the children, parents, and communities who supported this year’s challenge. Together, we’ve shown that small actions can create big change—and we can’t wait to do it all again next year!
