Charity of the Year 2025

At 360 Play we understand the vital role that charities play in our local communities. To date we have contributed almost £140,000 to our local communities, including charities, by working closely alongside the charities that need us the most. Managing Director, Duncan Phillips says that ‘support for the community has always been at the heart of the organisation since he founded it back in 2008. We are delighted to be able to continue this and grow to support so many local initiatives in the communities we serve.’ That’s why in 2025 we have relaunched our Charity of the Year programme, to partner with 7 local charities across the country and support them in raising the profile of their work and by helping them fundraise in our centres.

The Charity of the Year programme offers a nominated charity in the region support to help their Charity and the work that they do. As part of the programme, our chosen charities receive the following:

Promotion of the charity via our social media platforms and in our centre

An amazing Private Hire event exclusive to their community to use for fundraising or for families just to have some fun.

360 Play Day Passes so families can have some fun or to raffle to raise funds for the charity.

A relationship with the centre and Twizzle and Twirl the 360 mascots.

This year we have partnered with some great charities including:

Ride High, Milton Keynes

YMCA, Stevenage

Young Leicestershire, Leicester

Kids Inspire, Basildon

Friends of Fairway, Birmingham

Chloe and Sophie’s special ear fund, Farnborough

Kids Aid, Northampton
