Futures For Kids, founded in 2008, is a fundraising charity set up by a group of individuals working in firms across the futures and options industry to raise money for charities working with children.

The Futures For Kids trustees are continually working on fundraising events to gain momentum from potential supporters. Their first event was the FOA/FIA IDX Gala, on June 11, 2008, which raised more than £200,000. By its 10th year, 2018, Futures For Kids had raised nearly £3 million for charities that help kids around the world.

Further information on sponsoring events or making donations can be obtained by contacting Futures For Kids at info@futuresforkids.org.uk.
