5 On It were honoured and thrilled that the Milton Keynes Food and Leisure Awards (https://www.mkfla.com/), which took place earlier this month, selected us as their Official 2023 Charity to support on the night of the Awards! A huge number of local organisations (listed below) donated prizes to the raffle and auction and we thank them all so much – an amazing total of £2500 was raised! This wonderful opportunity not only helped raise awareness of our work with children who live in poverty but more crucially helped us raise funds to provide more free Nutri Troops holiday camps!

Peter Bakare, GB Olympian and founder of Nutri Troops, said “We are incredibly grateful to Steven and the team at the Milton Keynes Food and Leisure Awards and all the fantastic companies who donated prizes, bought raffle tickets and bid on the auction. We are blown away by the amount raised. It will allow us to run so many free camps for children alongside providing hot meals”.

About

The 5 On It Foundation is a Milton Keynes-based charity dedicated to inspiring and empowering young people through innovative and engaging programmes. Focused on children and young people, the Foundation addresses key issues around health, education, and lifestyle by delivering impactful initiatives that are both informative and fun. These programmes are delivered by experienced, DBS-checked professionals who use sport, music, and the arts as powerful tools to engage participants, build confidence, and promote positive decision-making. The charity’s mission is to help young people make informed lifestyle choices and steer them away from negative influences.

At the heart of the 5 On It Foundation is a commitment to community wellbeing and youth development. By partnering with schools, local authorities, and community groups, the charity ensures its services reach those who need them most, especially in underserved areas. Every session is carefully designed to be inclusive, culturally relevant, and responsive to local needs, ensuring maximum impact. Through a combination of creative expression and physical activity, the Foundation delivers serious messages in a way that resonates with young audiences, leaving a lasting impression that supports personal growth and community cohesion.
