Your Opportunity Radio 4 appeal brings in just under £50,000

A huge thank you to everyone who generously supported our recent charity appeal on Radio 4, including our presenter the wonderful Ken Bruce.  

We’re thrilled our appeal raised an amazing £47,201 for our Your Opportunity fund, which will help us support hundreds of disabled young adults aged 18 – 24 across the UK by providing vital grants tailored to individuals’ needs and aspirations. 

Our 2025 appeal was based around the story of a young woman Nur, who badly needed a lightweight sports wheelchair to regain independence and avoid discomfort in her wrists and arms when getting around.

Double the difference

The Radio 4 appeal raised an incredible £47,201 including £25,000 worth of match-funding support from our flagship corporate partner, McCain, who generously provided more than double the donations. 

Needed more than ever

Fifty thousand disabled and seriously ill young adults are now living in poverty, with families striving to meet their basic needs and cover caring costs of over £1,000 a month. These are challenging times and we’re working hard to ensure our vital support continues. 

Remember – you can still listen to our appeal, donate and get involved.

£5 pays for a book for learning.  

£50 provides three months’ membership for a local club- so a young adult can socialise and develop skills.

£100 helps fund a lightweight wheelchair, so a young person can enjoy independence. 

Thanks again for all your support.
