We are absolutely astounded & ridiculously proud to announce that during the 2024-25 academic year we’ve raised an astonishing £389,343.37 across the UK & Ireland! 🤯
Absolutely everyone involved in Wilder this year should be ridiculously proud for playing their part in this momentous achievement. This brings our lifetime fundraising to a gigantic £710,732.61 in just 4 academic years, with only two & half academic years since we first expanded outside of Durham.. Ridiculous to read, even more ridiculous to achieve. 👏🏼

We couldn’t achieve this incredible fundraising or put on such enjoyable events without the contributions of everyone involved in our shows. From our legendary coaches turning our students from zero to hero & supporting them through one of the biggest mental & physical challenges of their young lives, to the medical team, ring boys & girls, presenters, media team & all our amazing venue partners who support us in hosting our electric brand of black tie entertainment. A special mention & thanks to our ICONIC dancing referee Lee Murtagh, the Wildest referee in the world.
Lastly we have to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the one of a kind Wilder Student Exec teams who sacrifice time in their busy schedules to put their hearts and souls into every event. You are all absolute legends - each & every one of you! 🙏🏼
Following last year’s huge success in smashing our target, Wilder Group founder Sal Sinawi set the team another very ambitious target of £300,000. Incredibly we hit this with a term to spare… This means we are now closer than ever to reaching what Sal calls ‘The Magic Million’ in fundraising
