Fundraising
Your fundraising efforts make a tangible difference to our work, enabling us to provide essential resources to our pupils and train our dedicated volunteer tutors. We are extremely grateful for the generous donations and fundraising support we receive that moves us closer to achieving our vision of a world in which no child’s life chances are limited by their socio-economic background.
Why fundraise for us?
By providing high quality maths and English tutoring, both online and in person, we aid our pupils to not only increase their subject knowledge and study skills, but also their confidence and growth mindset.
Your fundraising efforts will allow us to continue our vital work and extend our reach to ensure as many pupils as possible across England get the help they need. We appreciate your invaluable support.

How do you spend the money raised?
Take on a sporting challenge for us!
If you’re looking for your next challenge in 2025, these events might be just what you’re after!
We have limited spaces which will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
All of the following races offer accessible participation for wheelchair users, disabled participants, and those requiring assisted runners. Additionally, some races offer generous ‘cut-off’ times, allowing them to be walked at a brisk pace if this is more accessible to you.
Get in touch with our Fundraising Coordinator, Molly, via molly.cottrill@actiontutoring.org.uk to sign up!

We ask all fundraisers to confirm they are comfortable to raise the minimum target before signing up
