FUNDRAISING & CHARITY WORK
The Saints Southwest TEAM are always up for a challenge... and we are always looking at new ways to help support good and charitable causes.
We have a unique team of coaches who take on challenges each year to raise money for those who need it.
Get in touch if you have a special cause you'd like us to help fundraise for.
As a Community Interest Company, Saints Southwest are always willing to take on yearly challenges to raise money for their chosen charity (chosen annually), from football matches, biking riding, hiking, to tough mudder...
How do Saints Southwest choose their yearly charity?
Charities are chosen on how the money raised can impact the young people and families we work with across the South West the best, or if we get approached by a staff member, someone we work with or a parent/guardian of a child from one of our programmes has a particular charity close to home they'd like us to support.

We understand that schools, youth centres, community organisations and sports clubs rely on financial support. Saints Southwest are proud to be able to help in various ways.
