In December 2025, the Wakefield Annual Christmas Charity Lunch (WACCL) returned to Wakefield Trinity Stadium for another fantastic afternoon of generosity and community spirit – Prosper was proud to support the event through match funding for a 2nd year.
The charitable auction held on the day raised an incredible £25,000, which Prosper was delighted to match fund, bringing the total raised to £50,000. This significant sum will support 15 beneficiary organisations this year, all working with children and young people across the Wakefield district.
Events like WACCL show what can be achieved when local organisations, businesses and funders come together with a common goal. Through collaboration and shared commitment, this funding will help create opportunities, provide vital support and make a real difference to the lives of children and young people in our communities.
We would like to say a huge thank you to the WACCL Board, who have been an absolute joy to work with throughout. Their dedication and passion for supporting young people in Wakefield shines through in everything they do, and we are privileged to work alongside them.
At Prosper we believe in the power of collaboration and the impact local giving has when it’s rooted in strong relationships, with a shared understanding of local need. The success of WACCL 2025 is a perfect example of this in action.
Congratulations to everyone involved in making the event such a success, and thank you to all who contributed. Together, we are helping to create brighter futures for children and young people across the Wakefield district.
