£100K for 100 Years
Celebrating Portsmouth100 with Cash for Kids
In 2026, Portsmouth marks a huge milestone – 100 years since it was officially granted city status!
To celebrate, Portsmouth100 will bring together a year-long programme of events that honour the city’s proud history, vibrant communities and ambitious future. From civic ceremonies and cultural showcases to creative installations and community-led activities, it’s a city-wide invitation to celebrate what makes Portsmouth special and to shape what comes next.
£100k for 100 Years
The aim is simple but powerful. We’re calling on 100 local companies and schools to each raise £1,000, helping us reach a collective total of £100,000 to support disadvantaged children and young people across Portsmouth.
All funds raised will stay in the local area and go towards our Cash for Kids Impact Grants, to provide vital support such as specialist equipment, therapy, and safe spaces where children can learn, play, be fed, and feel secure.
Fundraise your way
There’s no set formula - how you raise your £1,000 is completely up to you. Whether you’re a business, a school or a group of colleagues, every effort counts. Some ideas include:
- Sporting challenges and fitness events
- Office cake sales and dress-down days
- Team fundraising activities and competitions
- Individual challenges or sponsored efforts
Big or small, solo or team-based, every fundraiser helps make a real difference to local children who need it most.
Sign up today to support local children, bring people together, and celebrate 100 years of Portsmouth by giving back to the community that makes it what it is.
