Italy – 175.3 miles

Travel from Rome, the stunning capital of Italy, to the city of Naples, most famous for being the birthplace of pizza. Along the way experience the magnetic beauty of typical Italian towns.


Seville to Malaga,
Spain – 134.3 miles

Some cities blast you away, others slowly win you over. Let Seville disarm and seduce you. Then make your way to the sun-soaked city of Malaga, a city full of passion. Malaga is the newfound secret waiting to be explored.

Cycle

Havana to Santiago de Cuba,
Cuba – 604.2 miles

Cuba is an island brimming with vibrant art, soul-stirring music and villages cloaked in colonial charm. Home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a population as warm and scintillating as its tropical climate and colourful arts, Cuba is a country begging to be explored!

Swim

The Seine River,
Paris – 27 miles

Welcome to the mesmerizing realm of Paris, a city where every cobblestone holds whispers of history, and every avenue unfurls a tapestry of experiences.

With your support the Foundation has been able to respond quickly and enable charities to adapt and continue their valuable support services. As always, thank you to everyone for your continued support and generosity – it really does make a difference and is a lifeline to many charities.  

The difference you'll make

St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation has been supporting those in need since 1992, making a positive and lasting difference to people’s lives by awarding grants to charities registered in the UK to assist them in the incredible work they do every day. So far, we’ve raised and distributed over £128 million to thousands of charities. 

Our grant giving is guided by themes, with the main focus on children and young people who have special needs through illness, disability or mental health problems and also those who are disadvantaged in other ways. The Charitable Foundation also supports the Hospice Movement and people of all ages with cancer.

The Charitable Foundation has been keen to support small to medium-sized charities that can benefit substantially from relatively small grants. Hundreds of small charities have benefited as a result.

Company matching

All funds raised for My Virtual Mission will be matched pound for pound by St. James’s Place Wealth Management.

Top tips

Make your page personal

Use your fundraising page to tell people about why you're supporting the SJP Charitable Foundation and add any pictures that help tell your story. We’re all more likely to donate to causes we know our friends and family are passionate about.

Share your virtual collection

Don’t be modest about any challenges you're taking on. Share your JustGiving link with your circle by email or through social media like WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.

Don’t forget to mention Gift Aid

If someone who donates to you is a UK taxpayer, they can add Gift Aid to their donation. This makes their donation worth 25% more to us and doesn’t cost them a penny.

Give regular updates

Let everyone know how you’re getting on with updates on how much you’ve raised, what your target is and how any challenges are going. If you’re close to reaching a milestone it might give them the extra push to donate again.

Thank everyone who donates

JustGiving will automatically send a thank you email to anyone who donates, but if you want to add a personal touch, thank donors yourself, tell them how much it means to you and a bit more about the work we do.
