We rely on fundraising, donations and sponsorship to continue to provide wonderful services and activities for our children and families. Aiming Higher has supported more than a thousand disabled children and their families since being founded in 2011. We apply for grants and funding from large grant funders, health services and the Local Authority on a regular basis, but also welcome the support of our local Fylde Coast community in fundraising. Please contact us if you’d like to donate or fundraise to support the work that we do.

Are you feeling fired up to get out there in the fresh air now that the longer days are upon us?! If so, take a look at our Langdale Pikes Challenge taking place on 5th July. It’s a great way of tackling a personal fitness goal alongside raising vital funds for our work with chidlren with disabilities, and their families….win, win!

Our annual fundraising Ball is the highlight of our fundraising year. In previous years, more than 300 supporters, sponsors and suppliers have attended and, in the process, helped to raise tens of thousands of pounds to ensure that services continue to be there for families when they need it most.

In addition to a 3-course dinner, live entertainment and dancing, a range of fantastic fundraising activities are incorporated into the evening. This is also our opportunity to showcase the impact of our work with families and show our appreciation to those individuals and organisations who have assisted us throughout the year.  At our annual Ball, we also announce the winner of our Young Hero Award…tissues at the ready!
