Pitching for purpose is now open for applications!

If you’re a small charity, community group, Not-for-Profit organisation, CIC or CIO in Teesside, this one is for you.

In March, we will be holding our next live Pitching for Purpose event where you could be in with the chance of winning a share of £5,000!

We will give you the chance to pitch and share your story, to not only raise awareness of your cause but also win much-needed funds.

Whether you’re a charity supporting digital inclusion or training to help people get into work, setting up initiatives to help with clothes for interviews or raising aspirations in children; the list is endless. If this is you, we want to hear from you.

What do you need to do?

1. Share your story and apply for a spot at our 2025 Pitching for Purpose event.

2. If successful, prepare your fun-fuelled five-minute pitch.

3. Bring your A-game! We want to see you pull out all the stops, bring the props, bring the energy, and most of all have fun. Remember, you need to win over the crowd and make your purpose heard, it’s make or break!!

Let the challenge commence, as ambitious charities compete to win over the audience in a bid to raise as many votes as possible.

*Important dates for your diary*

Applications will close on February 14th.

All successful finalists will be invited for a pre-pitch on March 18th.

The live EVENT will take place on March 27th at The Social Room, Stockton – Tickets are available to purchase from Eventbrite now! – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pitching-for-purpose-tickets-1106971193639?aff=oddtdtcreator
