Feel Good Fundraising
From the first penny raised to the last pound given, our impact is the result of your fundraising. Whether it’s coming up with silly ideas or simply getting stuck in alongside colleagues and communities, the impact is real and it feels good for all the right reasons.
Your support means the world to so many people, and how you do it matters just as much. Smiles can change lives and getting involved is easy, fun and surprisingly uplifting. Here are just some of the stories we're proud to share with you.
When people come together, great things can happen. When times get tough, people get tougher.

Jill Scott’s Coming Home Challenge for Sport Relief
Jill Scott's Homecoming Challenge for Sport Relief is a five day endurance challenge that shines a light on the power people to change lives in their own communities.
At least half of the funds raised through Jill’s Sport Relief challenge will directly fund Sport for Change projects in local communities – including initiatives that use football, running, cycling and boxing to create safe spaces for people young and old, bringing them together and providing safety and security when it’s needed most – with remaining funds invested in Comic Relief's wider work.
Sport for Change is a powerful tool to create inclusive, accessible spaces where people of all backgrounds can come together, build confidence, gain life skills, and access safety, support and security designed around their needs.
By putting Sport for Change at the heart of Sport Relief 2026, we demonstrate the depth, credibility and long‑term value of this unique and highly impactful programme.
Sport is uniquely positioned to break down barriers related to gender, ethnicity, language, age and social class helping people connect, build friendships and engage in conversations that traditional services often struggle to enable.
