Helping Herts Week: Your chance to be a local hero!

From 4 to 11 of July 2025, people across Hertfordshire will be coming together to raise money for children and young people — and thanks to match funding, every pound raised will be doubled.

Whether you're a business, school, pub, club or individual, Helping Herts Week is your chance to make a difference — and have a bit of fun while you're at it!

Why take part?

Helping Herts supports 12 brilliant local charities working with children and young people — from mental health services and youth mentoring, to inclusive theatre and family support. Every penny raised goes directly to support young lives across the county and with match funding in place, your impact can go twice as far.

How you can help:

• Host a fundraiser – Bake sale, quiz night, sponsored walk — whatever works for you! Download a free fundraising pack from our website to get started.

• Schools – Organise a non-uniform day, fun run or classroom challenge. Sign up online for ideas and support.

• Pubs and clubs – Why not host a charity pub quiz or fundraising night during Helping Herts Week? It’s a great way to bring people together and do something good.

• Nominate a Herts Hero – Know someone who’s going the extra mile for children or young people in your community? Nominate them as a Herts Hero. The winner will receive a special award at the end of Helping Herts Week, and we’ll be sharing their story as part of the campaign.

• Just want to donate? Amazing! Every donation — big or small — will be eligible for match funding, so your generosity can be doubled.

Jim Tatchell, Co-Founder of Helping Herts said: "Helping Herts Week is about showing what we can achieve when our community pulls together. Every fundraiser, every fiver, makes a difference — and this year, every pound counts double."

Gordon Morrison, Co-Founder of Helping Herts said: "This is your chance to be a hero in your own community. Every event, every donation helps to give young people in Hertfordshire the support and opportunities they deserve." – Gordon Morrison, Founder of Helping Herts
