The Epic Kidz charity was founded in 2008 and in 2014 became an officially registered charity (number 1156202). The original concept was to help fund opportunities for children to be more active, but since that time, the donations have diversified to many different community causes.

We provide small grants, ranging from £200 – £1000 to small community groups who would really benefit the most from funds. Our donations have helped children’s sports groups, food banks, community support groups, nature and footpath repairs, primary schools, scouts and so much more. We also fund our own projects, delivering free sports activities in North West Primary Schools.

The charity is funded by Epic Events the Lakeland 50 & 100 running event which takes place every year in Coniston, on the last weekend of July.
