Moto Foundation is celebrating a huge milestone in the charity’s history: hitting £10 million raised for good causes since it was founded in 2005!

The charity has made a positive impact both nationally and in local communities, on its’ journey to £10 million. Here are just a few of the things that money has made possible:

• £700,000 and counting to our current national charity partners, Mind & SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health), to support the mental health work they do across the UK. Particularly Mind’s national Infoline and community projects in local Minds including Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind’s Creative Workshops or Bath Mind’s Welfare, Benefits and Financial Wellbeing service.  Initiatives in Scotland include young people’s life skills courses and ‘Changing Rooms’ – a programme encouraging men to open up via the power of football
• £3.25 million for our previous national partner, Help for Heroes – supporting veterans and their families with rehabilitation and therapeutic facilities, education and skills courses, support workers and much more over a 10-year partnership
• £945,000 to environmental partners, the Woodland Trust and the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust – providing thousands of community tree packs, protecting and planting new groves and woodlands, creating wildfowl facilities and delivering education projects to school children
• Giving over 1,100 community grants local to Moto sites
• Over 235,000 free brand-new books have been given to our adopted schools, working alongside long-term partner, Oxford University Press
• Donations totalling more than £300,000 to our brand partner charities, including the support of 14 Greggs Foundation Breakfast Clubs, building school classrooms through the Costa Foundation, Macmillan Cancer Support, and the Pret Foundation Rising Stars programme

Louise Hughes, Chair of Moto Foundation and People Director at Moto reflects on the charity’s £10million achievement:

“It is an absolute privilege to be Chair of the Moto Foundation and to see all the different ways that the charity impacts peoples’ lives in a positive way. We are so proud of our national partnerships and the millions raised for them but also love to give out grants to local charities where we can see that even a few hundred pounds can mean so much to them and our colleagues.  £10 million is testament to the charity’s longevity as well – nearly twenty years of giving back – thanks to everyone for their enduring support and here’s to many, many more to come!”
