Local businesses and organisations across Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes are being encouraged to take part in this year’s #Franklins50 challenge to raise vital money for five local charities tackling the local cost-of-living crisis and improving wellbeing.
Northampton charities Cynthia Spencer Hospice and Northampton Hope Centre are working with Milton Keynes’ charities MK Act, Willen Hospice and MK Food Bank on this fundraising initiative to make the most effective use of their collective resources and the most impact on their service-users.
Participating teams will receive £50 seed funding from Franklins Solicitors LLP to turn it into as much money as possible between 13 February and 12 May 2023 for their chosen charity. The challenge is open to any business, organisation or community group and they can get as creative as they like with their fundraising as long as it’s safe and legal!
