Fundraising

The FPA's chosen charity is WasteAid, which works with communities and policy makers in low and middle-income countries to implement waste management and recycling programmes. The charity's work improves the livelihoods of some of the poorest and most marginalised, supports grassroots entrepreneurs, and promotes circular economy innovation contributing to a cleaner and healthier future for all.

Waste management helps address some of the world’s most pressing issues and is critical to achieving sustainable development.

Fundraising activities

With the support of the FPA Charity and Fundraising Committee, headed up by Cara Cottam (second on the left in the image alongside), the FPA works hard to ensure there are fundraising opportunities at every FPA networking event, such as the annual FPA Awards Exhibition and ceremony and the Golf and Activities Day. 

The FPA's members are always unfailingly generous in their donations, via ticket sales, raffles, and in donating prizes for the auction held during the FPA Awards ceremony.

WasteAid Cheque Presentation

Presentation at the FPA Golf and Activities Day

During the FPA Golf and Activities Day on June 12 at Staverton Park Golf and Country Club, Anna Turner, FPA interim executive chair, presented a cheque for £8,000 to Nigella Mayes, head of fundraising at WasteAid. These funds represented the amount raised from activities in and around the 2025 FPA Awards. An additional £809 was collected from donations and raffle tickets during the Golf and Activities Day, already making 2025 the FPA's best fundraising year to date. Our thanks to everyone who contributed and continues to support this hugely worthy charity.
