Thank you for visiting Venture Forge’s Charity of the Year fundraising page for 2026.

This year, we are proud to be supporting The Light Fund, a charity founded by members of the UK licensing industry that funds practical, high-impact projects supporting children, women and men.

Since 2004, The Light Fund has raised over £2.6 million for more than 200 charities and good causes. In 2025 alone, it raised £282,000 and supported 51 organisations across the UK.

Throughout 2026, Venture Forge will be backing The Light Fund through structured fundraising activity, participation in community events, and leadership-led challenges.

Our first completed fundraiser saw our CEO, Andy Banks, successfully climb Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. This marked the launch of our partnership and raised funds for the charity.

This page will remain live across the year as we continue to add further fundraising activity and build momentum.

If you would like to support The Light Fund through our 2026 programme, you can donate here. Every contribution helps fund practical projects that make a tangible difference.

Thank you for your support.
