On the 26th November 2022 we'd raised £160 with 5 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Tofauti Everyone Active is a junior cycling team founded to empower riders aged 16-18 to take control of their own cycling development and, at such a crucial time in their lives, we help them to build resilience and determination to achieve the success that they seek.
Our riders get support, on a personal as well as a sporting level, to ensure cycling remains a love and not an obligation. At an age when far too many young people fall out of the sport, our goal is to keep talented cyclists in the sport, by providing an environment where racing their bikes remains as much fun as it was when they first started racing as much younger children.
We also use the profile of the team to increase exposure for our charity partner The Tofauti Foundation, who do amazing conservation and community work in Africa.
We give high level race opportunities across Europe, allowing our riders to showcase their talent on an international stage and to begin their progression towards a professional career in cycling. Providing these chances to our talented riders comes at great cost however, with travel, accommodation, equipment, nutrition, race entry fees and more quickly stacking up.
We get sponsorship funding from a number of companies, for which we are hugely grateful, but that cannot cover the increasing costs of racing. So, we are seeking crowdfunding income to supplement what we do.
All money raised will go into funding travel and associated costs to get our riders and support staff to races in Europe and within the UK. Every pound will help us to provide the very best opportunities for our talented team of youngsters.
There are three simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.
1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success.
2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us. The more people we reach, the more support we will get.
3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!
Thank you!
