Fundraiser story

VivoLife has been supporting StreetGames' work for the past two years and the organisation is enormously grateful for their support! This year, VivoLife set itself an ambitious fundraising challenge.

Here’s what the company's director, Josh, had to say about their efforts!

"We all know from personal experience what a powerful impact sport has on both physical and mental health, along with confidence, team-building and social skills - so when we found out about the amazing work that StreetGames was doing, it was the perfect match!...

Last year, VivoLife generously donated a percentage of their profits to StreetGames. This year the team decided to go even bigger by involving customers and staff in a special fundraising challenge!

"We decided we would reach out to [customers] and invite them to join us in hiking the three highest peaks in Yorkshire"

A remarkable feat, involving some 5000 feet of upward terrain, spread out over a gruelling 26 mile hike! Josh describes the challenge, which must also be completed in less than 12 hours as "one of the hardest things we have all ever done" but added "it was so worth it for the funds raised and the sense of achievement afterwards!

"We have now donated over £5000 to StreetGames and hope to be able to double it next year!"

"The best part has been being able to see the impact that the money has made. This weekend we went to a local StreetGames project and met one of the young people whose apprenticeship our fundraising has paid for. I try to visit local projects as much as I can and it is always amazing to see the great work they are doing in the community".

StreetGames would like to say a big thank you to everyone at VivoLife for their fantastic contributions! Your generosity will ensure that more young people will receive access to vital skills and opportunities through sport.
