Skiddle raises over £750,000 for charities

Preston based independent ticketing platform Skiddle shared that it has raised more than £762,000 for charity, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to social impact.

The funds have been generated through small, voluntary donations made by customers at checkout, proving the power of collective generosity in supporting vital causes.

The total includes significant contributions to leading health charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, alongside Skiddle’s current charity partners, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity) and Alder Hey Children’s Charity.

These organisations provide essential support to patients and families across the UK.

Ben Sebborn, Skiddle's co-founder said: “We’ve always believed that running a business should mean giving something back.

"It’s incredibly humbling to see how thousands of small actions from our customers have created such a meaningful
impact.”

Skiddle’s charity partnerships are built on personal connections.

The business began raising funds for Macmillan following the loss of a colleague to cancer in his twenties.

Donations to Alder Hey and GOSH are equally close to the hearts of the team, with both organisations having cared for members of the Skiddle family.

The company recently visited Alder Hey to see the impact of the donations first-hand, including the development of a brand-new inpatient cinema, made possible in part by Skiddle’s contribution.

Beyond donations, Skiddle’s wider ESG strategy includes carbon offsetting options at checkout, support for grassroots event organisers, and continuous work to build a more inclusive and sustainable live events industry.

Ben added: “The live events sector is built on community.

“Whether it's a festival, club night or charity initiative, we believe platforms like ours can and should be used to make a difference.”
