At a TFN live crowdfunding event, you’ll hear directly from three charities tackling urgent issues and supporting people with complex needs.
You’ll be part of a community that recognises the unique value of their work and knows that whether you give £100 or £1,000, your money has a greater impact when you give it with others.
Does that sound like you, your family or organisation?

OUR IMPACT
SINCE OUR FIRST EVENT IN 2002
SINCE OUR FIRST
EVENT IN 2002
We’ve brought people together to support small charities tackling some of the the world's toughest challenges - raising over £22 million for organisations creating real change in their communities.
But the impact doesn’t stop on the night. Many of the connections made at TFN events grow into long-term support, with people continuing to give, volunteer and champion charities.
Through the TFN experience, charities build skills and confidence - and the connections made can open doors and create momentum that lasts for years to come.

CORPORATE PARTNERS
HOSTING CHANGE TOGETHER
Our corporate partners play a vital role in bringing TFN events to life, helping create the space where charities and supporters come together to connect and give.
By opening up their spaces and supporting event delivery, companies enable small charities to share their stories, reach new supporters and secure vital funding.
Many go further, engaging their employees and clients, building lasting relationships with charities and contributing to impact that continues long after the event.
