We're so super-inspired to connect with innovative and emerging charitable leaders, to support the initiatives that can positively impact the world - we hope you are too. Join us on 23 February from 7pm to raise funds and awareness for three London charities serving our local community.

Set up to empower the next generation of giving, 10×10 has run 95 events worldwide since its founding in 2013. In the UK, we’ve been running since 2017, putting on 11 volunteer run events, supporting 33 grassroots nonprofits and raising over £200,000. 

How does this 10x10 event work?

1. As 10x10LON's volunteer Project Committee, we have researched and selected three incredible organisations doing the most important work in our local community;  
2. We are now working to raise £10,000 to support these organisations;
3. Pledge right here and we will send you your invitation to our live event. We're introducing single (for one person) and double tickets (for two people) so you choose what you'd like to pledge:
   Single Ticket: £20 or £50
   Couples: £35 or £85
   PLATINUM TICKET: £120
4. At the event, we will empower you to choose how the funds raised are distributed through - you'll see all three charities pitch and then you vote;
5. Participate in our campaign auctions, we always have amazing experiences and prizes!

We're so excited to announce Judah Armani as our Dragon, and international comedian, Rich Wilson joining us for the evening!

THE CHARITIES

Drive Forward Foundation was launched in 2010 to help young people leaving foster or residential care to achieve their full potential with exciting and sustainable employment opportunities. Around 2000 people aged 16-26 who leave the London care system, ill equipped for the challenges that await them and 30% of these will experience homelessness within six months of leaving care, 40% cannot access employment, education or training. Drive Forward Foundation provides development of key skills, confidence and motivation for work, education or training.

FEAST With Us are a London based food poverty charity, which brings together surplus food and a host of committed volunteers to provide healthy and nutritious meals for the people and communities who need it the most. During the pandemic, FEAST With Us stepped up to emeliorate the increasing suffering of those facing food poverty and innovated to meet rapidly changing conditions. With food poverty expected to increase, FEAST With Us work becomes ever-more important in support of the most vulnerable people of London.

The Rosemary Foundation is a Charity providing a ‘Hospice at Home’ service in Petersfield and the surrounding towns and villages. It is intended to help patients in the latter stage of life threatening conditions. This service offers practical help, nursing care, emotional and counselling support, together with day and night sitting service and trained nurses available 24 hours a day. Care continues through the first year of bereavement. The Rosemary Foundation receives no statutory funding but provides a valuable service at no cost to the patient or their family.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR

10x10 Philanthropy is a registered charity operating in service of grassroots charities. A lean team of three part-time staff located at 10x10HQ in Sydney underpin the work of more than 1000 volunteers who have served Project Committees in 15 cities around the world. Our mission to facilitate the powerful movement of passionate young philanthropists as they seek to make the world a better place, delivers both financial and volunteer support to small local charities. 

This campaign by 10x10LON will raise funds, awareness and volunteers in support of three charities that were selected through a process of research and due diligence. The objective is to discover the most innovative, relevant and impactful grassroots charities working in support of the most  compelling community cause areas.  

To propagate the 10x10 mission, 10% of fundraising are paid forward to meet the operating costs of the organisation, plus the start-up and delivery of the next 10x10 project, ensuring that the cycle of giving continues and new grassroots charities performing essential work are identified and supported.
