Our Causes

Our Supported Charities for 2026

Orangutan Appeal UK

Wildlife conservation was one of the founding core objectives when the GFT was founded back in 2015. One organsation in particular, Orangutan Appeal UK (OAUK), fits that brief perfectly as they work to protect the remaining wild populations of orangutans by supporting conservation projects in Borneo and raising global awareness of their plight.

Mission Christmas

MISSION CHRISTMAS Cash For Kids (CFK) is Bauer Media’s national charity which operates across 22 areas around the UK. The southern region, which the GFT supports, covers Dorset, Hants, West Sussex, Surrey and the IOW.

Waste Not Want Not

Based in Poole High St, PWNWN is a charity who operate a social, membership-based supermarket, which is typically 50-75% cheaper than a regular supermarket, to support low-income families. In addition to providing affordable food, they offer advice on budgeting skills and social activities to help combat hunger and isolation.

The Second Heli Appeal

Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance provides life-saving, pre-hospital critical care to those in urgent need across Dorset and Somerset. As your local air ambulance charity, we are a vital part of the community that relies on your support to be there for critically ill and injured people when every second counts.

Christmas For Kids

C4K is a multi-award-winning UK charity project by Embracing Arts that brings, through the month of December, accessible, multi-sensory theatre and inclusive arts to children with complex needs, life-limiting conditions and special educational needs (SEN).

Kids Initiative

The GFT was the founding sponsor of the Kids Initiative (KI) when it was set up in 2018. The idea behind the Initiative was to involve all children in the fun of football, especially those facing emotional, financial or physical hardship.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

As one of Africa’s oldest wildlife charities and a leading conservation organisation, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) embraces all measures that complement the conservation, preservation and protection of wildlife.
