Prosper to Match Fund WACCL 2025, Doubling the Impact for Children in Wakefield

We’re delighted to announce that Prosper will once again be partnering with the WACCL 2025 event, a much-loved annual Christmas lunch and charity auction raising vital funds for The Wakefield Children’s Charity and other local organisations supporting children across our district.

This year marks our second year supporting WACCL, and we’re proud to be match funding up to £30,000 of the money raised at the event. That means every pound donated on the day will go twice as far in helping children and young people in our community.

WACCL short for Wakefield Annual Charity Christmas Lunch is one of the most anticipated festive charity events in the city. With its lively auction, warm atmosphere, and the generosity of local businesses and individuals, it captures the spirit of the season: kindness, togetherness, and giving back.

By partnering again this year, we’re building on the amazing success of WACCL 2024, when the community’s generosity created real, tangible change for children who need it most. Together, we can achieve even more in 2025.

Event details:
📅 Date: 11th December 2025
📍 Venue: Wakefield Trinity, DIY Kitchens Stadium, WF1 5EY

Here’s to making WACCL 2025 the most impactful (and heart-warming) one yet.
