The light fund
The Light Fund is the licensing industry’s registered charity that raises funds for specific charity projects covering children, women and men.
The Light Fund name is an acronym for: Licensing Industry Giving Help Together. Given the preschool sector’s close ties with licensing, this is the chosen charity for the PPS Awards ‘giving something back’.
The Light Fund is a registered charity which raises monies to fund worthwhile charity projects that help children, women and men.
Since its inception back in 2004, The Light Fund has raised over £2 million and funded hundreds of different charity projects. The Light Fund’s fundraising activities happen throughout the year. In the Autumn registered charities are invited to submit projects (online via the Light Fund website) they would like to have funded.
In December of each year The Light Fund committee then votes on which of these projects to fund with the successful beneficiaries being informed by the end of the year.
Funds are raised through a variety of incredible efforts from renowned industry events including the Six Marathons In Six Days, Bristol to Dublin Cycle Challenge, London to Paris Row, plus a huge amount of individual challenges.
Additionally, Max Publishing raised funds from its industry awards events, including the Progressive Preschool Awards by way of the popular raffle. If you can help with an interesting, sought-after raffle prize then please do contact the Light Fund or PPS Awards organisers.
