Carlisle Key is Bendalls chosen charity of the year for 2024 due to its dedicated efforts in assisting young people, facing homelessness or housing difficulties, empowering them to overcome challenges and build a brighter future.

This decision stems from our belief in the importance of nurturing and supporting the next generation, ensuring they receive the necessary resources and opportunities for a promising start to their adult lives.

Our first fundraising initiative is taking part in the 10k Gelt Gladiator on Saturday 8th June starting at 10am. With 16 staff members taking part, each participant is committed to raising sponsorship funds, with proceeds going to Carlisle Key's vital services.
