We exist to support UK charities
Since 2021, we've helped small charities raise vital funds by connecting the sporting community with worthy causes.
Together with partners, prize donors, supporters and, of course, amazing UK charities, we’ve created a platform for positive change.
Our last Prize Draw raised over £100,000 for UK charities.
A Simple Idea, A Powerful Impact
A Message from Our Founder
In the early days of the 2020 lockdown, I spoke with a couple of small UK charities struggling to cope after their fundraising events were cancelled. Their need for funds was urgent, and I wondered how I could help. With connections in the sporting world, I asked a few contacts to donate sporting prizes. To my delight, they all said yes. And so, the first Sporting Chance Prize Draw launched in March 2021.
From the start, I had two guiding principles:
- 100% of donations go to charities: Every penny raised would go directly to our charity partners. Administration costs are privately funded or covered through corporate sponsorship.
- Affordable entry: For just a £10 donation, anyone could enter our Prize Draws and stand a chance to win amazing prizes while supporting a great cause.
To date, we've raised over £225,000 by running one Prize Draw per year. In 2025, we’re expanding to three Prize Draws in March, June, and October. Each will run for two weeks, offering more opportunities to win and to support 30+ amazing charities.
The challenges charities face today are significant. Over 4,000 charities close their doors every year due to lack of funding. Sporting Chance Prize Draw was created as a response to these challenges, particularly for small charities here in the UK.
So, do save the dates and enter this March, June and October – there are some terrific prizes to win.
