Fundraising and Events
Fundraise
Every year we have to raise just over a half of our income from charitable sources – just to keep going – and that is a tough call for a small charity.
It means we really need your support if we are to continue to be effective in responding to the multiple challenges so many homeless and unemployed young people face.
You can raise funds in your community, workplace or school. You can join one of our events or organise your own. You can also undertake a sponsored challenge – there are countless ways that you can make a difference.
However you choose to support us we will be with you every step of the way. For more information, please contact your local fundraiser today.

Saturday 18th May 2024 - Kent Charity Trek
Start Time: 6am
Take on the challenge of walking either 25km or 50km along the North Downs Way in Kent.
From the historic Chatham Dockyard, your route will take you along the North Down’s Way where you will be able to take in the beautiful Garden of England.
The route allows you spectacular vistas across Kent whilst raising money for Amber's work with young people facing tough challenges. With the 25km trek finishing in Whitehorse Country Park and the 50km trek finishing at the stunning Eastwell Manor, there is a challenge to suit all abilities. You will be supported on the day with regular marshal points and water, snack and first aid stations.
This event is organised by Kent Search and Rescue who wanted to create an event for other Kent-based charities, to help as many people as many people possible in our local community.
Amber is a bronze charity partner in this event and will receive 70% of all funds raised.
