Why are the Greenham Trust match funding the money raised? Swings & Smiles successfully applied to take part in the Escalator Project. Set up by the Greenham Trust, the Escalator Project is a unique campaign. If the charity can raise £10,000 between 19th August and 13th September, Greenham Project will donate a further £30,000 to ‘supercharge’ its funds. The money raised will go toward Swings & Smiles' teenage programme, ensuring they have a meaningful place to socialise and gain independence during these formative years. As part of this we will design and build an accessible outdoor space including a fire pit. Head of Grants at the Greenham Trust Rob Daniels said: “We designed The Escalator Challenge for initiatives exactly like this. The aims are to supercharge a project, bring a community together and make a real difference. This project ticks all those boxes and more. We wish the Swings & Smiles team the very best of luck as it takes on this exciting challenge.”
